Philo Silver Stripe

Philodendron 'Silver Stripe'

Originating from South America, the Silver Stripe is a trailing plant or a creeper. Such climber plants are ideal for indoor gardens and rooms. A home can be filled with lightness and elegance thanks to the 'Sweetheart Vine'. The lush look will give life to any setting. Filter-like qualities of the plant help clean the air in every room. 

Sweetheart Vine will flourish in bright but indirect sunlight. Place the plant 6 feet (1.8 m) from a south-facing window. When exposed to too much direct sunlight, the leaves will turn yellow. With the correct lighting, it’ll grow bigger and healthier leaves.

Famous for its heart-shaped leaves with a creamy yellow center and a silver stripe running down the middle, the Silver Stripe Philodendron is a sought-after plant. The unique looks are what make the Sweetheart vine a rare houseplant to have. With proper care, the plant can live for up to forty years. The rarity, slow growth, and lack of seed production make the Silver Stripe a rare plant to purchase. 

The Silver Stripe Philodendron is toxic to people and pets. Consuming this plant may cause swelling of the lips and mouth, an upset stomach, and nausea and vomiting. Keep it at a safe distance from children and pets.
