60 - 70cm Philodendron Hastatum on Mosspole Silver Sword 17cm Pot House Plant

Philodendron Hastatum, also known as Silver Sword Philodendron, is a tropical plant that is native to Central and South America. Here are some tips for caring for your Philodendron Hastatum on a moss pole:

1. Light: Philodendron Hastatum prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the plant to become leggy.

2. Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your Philodendron Hastatum when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not let the soil dry out completely, as this can cause the leaves to wilt. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be careful not to let the plant sit in standing water.

3. Humidity: Philodendron Hastatum likes high humidity. You can increase the humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water nearby, using a humidifier, or grouping it with other plants.

4. Temperature: Philodendron Hastatum prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It is important to keep the plant away from cold drafts and air conditioning.

5. Soil: Philodendron Hastatum prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your Philodendron Hastatum with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the winter months.

7. Pruning: Prune your Philodendron Hastatum to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. You can also remove any yellowing or damaged leaves or branches.

8. Support: Philodendron Hastatum on a moss pole will climb and grow. Make sure the moss pole is sturdy and can support the weight of the plant as it grows.

9. Propagation: Philodendron Hastatum can be propagated by stem cuttings. Simply take a cutting with a node and place it in water or moist soil until roots form.

By following these tips, you can help your Philodendron Hastatum thrive and enjoy its attractive foliage on a moss pole in your home or office.
