Philodendron Silver Stripe in a Hanging Basket | St. Pete Grown

This is a Philodendron Silver Stripe in a hanging basket. Botanically it is Philodendron hederaceum Silver Stripe, a variegated heartleaf philodendron. I grow these in Lealman and St. Petersburg, Florida, and I only ship plants with tight roots and clean leaves.

The leaves are heart shaped with a cream to lime center, a silver stripe along the midrib, and dark green edges. It is a sport of the classic heartleaf, not the same plant as Brasil or Cream Splash. Hang it and the vines trail. Give it a pole later if you want larger leaves.

Bright indirect light. East window or a few feet back from south or west glass. Midday sun burns the silver. Low light fades the stripe and stretches the stems.

Water when the top inch or two feels dry. Let it drain. Overwatering is what knocks hanging baskets out after shipping.

Chunky aroid mix. Keep it near 65 to 85 F. Pinellas, Tampa, Clearwater, Largo, and Bradenton homes already have the heat. Dry AC air is the watch out.

Not pet safe. Philodendrons have calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from cats, dogs, and kids.

I have grown tropical houseplants here for 13 years. Send a photo if it sulks after delivery. St. Pete area pickup when listed. Ships nationwide.
