Philodendron Silver Sword
About
Philodendron Silver Sword are a special type of vining philodendron that are known for at silver leaves that become a sword-like arrow shape as they mature. Gene and I like to joke around and call ours the Philodendron Butter Knife, as we have never seen ours get to the mature shape yet.
This specimen was collected under the name of Philodendron Grey from the nursery we got it from.. Hopefully, one day we will have sword leaves.
