Philodendron "Silvery Ann"

$24.99 $0.00

Philodendron "Silver Ann," also known as Philodendron Hastatum, is an attractive and relatively rare houseplant native to South America. This elegant plant is cherished for its elongated, arrow-shaped leaves with a unique silvery-blue hue. The "Silver Ann" is a climbing or trailing plant, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises. Its striking appearance and relatively easy care make it a popular option for both experienced plant enthusiasts and beginners alike.

To ensure your Philodendron "Silver Ann" thrives, follow these plant care instructions:

  1. Light: Provide your "Silver Ann" with bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf scorching, while insufficient light can lead to leggy growth and a loss of the silvery-blue hue.

  2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid over-watering. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. If the leaves turn yellow or become soft and mushy, you may be over-watering. Conversely, under-watering can cause the leaves to wilt and become dry.

  3. Humidity: The Philodendron "Silver Ann" appreciates high humidity levels, ideally around 60-80%. Maintain humidity by placing the plant on a tray filled with pebbles and water, using a humidifier, or misting the leaves regularly.

  4. Temperature: This tropical plant thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from drafts, air conditioning vents, or heaters, as fluctuations in temperature can cause stress to the plant.

  5. Fertilizer: Fertilize your Philodendron "Silver Ann" every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) using a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Dilute the fertilizer to half strength to avoid root burn. Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.

  6. Pruning: Prune your "Silver Ann" regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and visually appealing.

  7. Repotting: Repot your Philodendron "Silver Ann" every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Regarding pet-friendliness, the Philodendron "Silver Ann" is considered toxic to pets, according to the ASPCA's website. Like other Philodendron species, the "Silver Ann" contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling of the mouth, tongue, and throat if ingested by pets. In severe cases, ingestion can lead to vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or excessive drooling. If you have pets at home, it is crucial to keep your Philodendron "Silver Ann" out of their reach to prevent any potential harm. Always be cautious with houseplants and monitor your pets to ensure their safety around plants.
