Philodendron hastatum

Philodendron 'Silver Sword' is a rare find native to the tropics of Brazil. Its name, silver sword, comes from the fact that the blue-tinged foliage grows in a long form resembling swords or arrows.

Easy to grow and quite forgiving, it is best grown in medium light, though it can adapt to lower light levels. Part of the Araceae family, if given the right growing conditions, it can reach up to 3’ in height, requiring an upright support when it does. It’s best to provide a cane or moss pole on which it can climb.

Fertilize once a month during the growing season. Philodendrons don’t like to dry out completely between waterings but should not be overwatered, as this can cause yellowing leaves.

All philodendrons are toxic and should be kept away from pets and children.

Kokedamas are an ancient form of Japanese Bonsai that dates to around 1600 AD. These living planters are made with moss, soil, twine, and a plant. They have a sunny disposition and are low maintenance.

Kokedama plants come with either a Tray for Basic Planter, Grey Patina or Tray for Basic Planter, White Patina.

They also pair well with our Wrought Iron Planter Stand in Small, sold separately.

Product Care

Easy to grow, and quite forgiving, it is best-grown in medium indirect light, though it can adapt to lower light conditions. Grows well in 65F - 75F temperatures.

When to Repot:

When you begin to see the root structure of the plant protrude out of the moss ball, it's time to consider moving it to a pot.

Repotting Steps:

Find a pot: Choose a pot that is roughly 1/2" wider in circumference than the moss ball.
Add Potting Soil: Fill the bottom of the pot with potting soil. Add enough soil so that when the ball is placed in the pot, the top of the ball sits slightly above the top of the pot.
Place the Ball: Place the entire ball (string and moss included) into the pot and add soil around it.
Soil Level: Ensure the top of the ball sits 1/2" above the soil line.
Water and Adjust: Water the plant and add additional soil if needed to maintain the proper soil level.
