This culture pack includes 1 Philodendron Variegated Silver Sword tissue cultures. It comes in agar gel and is ready to acclimate to its new jungle.

Philodendron Variegated Silver Sword is a rare and eye-catching twist on the classic Silver Sword, featuring elongated, blade-shaped leaves splashed with creamy white and pale mint variegation. The signature metallic silver-blue base gives each leaf a cool, modern look, while the unpredictable variegation ensures every plant is truly one of a kind.

As a climbing philodendron, Philodendron Variegated Silver Sword produces increasingly large and dramatic foliage when given support. The combination of sharp, architectural leaf shape and high-contrast variegation makes this plant a standout in any collector’s display—equal parts refined and bold.

This variety thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain both strong growth and vibrant variegation. With proper care, it quickly becomes a statement plant that adds height, texture, and serious visual impact.

• Step 1- Do not do anything to the culture for 1-2 days to allow them to adjust to the temperature in their new environment
• Step 2- Open the package & wash the agar jelly off the plant as thoroughly as possible. We strongly recommend using running water. A small paint brush can be gently used to assist with the cleaning process. This is one of the most important steps of the process.
• Step 3- Plant your cultures in the medium of your choice. We recommend a chunky blend of coco husk & perlite. We utilize acclimation plugs although there are many great mediums available.
• Step 4- Place them into a clear sealed package (container or plastic bag). Within 24-hours your container will have water droplets forming, which will confirm the container is at 100% humidity.
• Step 5-Place under a grow lights for between 8 & 14 hours a day
• Step 6- Leave plants covered for the first 7 days.  The following 7 to 10 days slowly expose plants to ambient air. Each day exposing the plants to slightly more air until fully acclimated.

How to Care for Philodendron Variegated Silver Sword

When you first get your tissue culture plants, let them adjust to their new environment before starting regular care. Here are some simple care tips to help your plants grow:

• Light: Place in bright, indirect light for at least 6 hours daily. Keep out of direct sunlight, which can harm the leaves.

• Temperature: Keep your plant in a warm space between 65–85°F and away from cold air or drafts.

• Humidity: This plant loves moisture in the air. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier if the air is dry.

• Watering: Keep the soil slightly damp but never soggy. Make sure the pot drains well to avoid water sitting in the roots.

• Soil: Use a rich soil mix that includes materials like coco husk and perlite for good drainage and airflow. We have both in our inventory!

• Fertilizer: Feed your plant regularly with Orange Lake Nursery Fertilizer to keep it healthy and growing strong.
