About Philodendron 'Silver Cloud'
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! āļø

Does anyone know why my Phildendron Silver Cloud wonāt grow more than 2-3 leaves? Iāve had it since April 2021 and itās never had more than 3 leaves at a time?Āæ

Is this variegation? Hi Greggers! What do we think. This is the newest leaf and I got a unusual surprise when I had a closer look. ļæ¼Is my philodendron silver cloud variegated (looking at the lighter green sections and not referring to the sliver) or am I just seeing things? #AskGreg #HappyPlants #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PLANTMAFIA #NewGrowth #PlantShelfie #Greggers #SpringIntoSummer #fallintowinter #FreshLeafFriday

I finally gave my Silver Cloud a coco pole to grow up, with a new leave slowly on the way⦠how do I train it to grow around the pole?

My Philodendron Silver Cloud is pushing out such a beautiful large leaf! š Iām utterly in love with it! It still hasnāt fully hardened and I hope it can get a little bit bigger š (I know im being greedy haha) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #Greggers #GregGang #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #PhilodendronMamei #philodendronsilvercloud #HoyaAddictHome

An impulsive repot because he wasnāt buried deep enough in the pot he came in. Iāll be adding a bamboo pole or something for him to climb when weāre home. Also droopy like someoneās touching his neck but Athena perked up once she was repotted so Iām hoping for the same result for this guy. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #ADHDPLANTLOVERS #NewPlantMom

Hey #greggang! Happy Friday! Um, Saturday, I guess, at this point... it's a busy week for me at work, lots of 12-16 hour days. Restaurants never sleep. I was able to get a late start today and therefore got a lot of plant chores done while I sipped my coffee! Eva the #englishivy got her first trellis, and I just took my first cutting from her! I'm setting up the #propagationstation on my window sill with prop drops and distilled water. My zebrina cuttings did well on that sill, so fingers crossed! I received 3 new babies yesterday morning, but I didn't get home until 1am, so they were all transferred into my soil mix in clear nursery pots this morning. My pearl and jade #pothos and lemon lime #philodendron babies were treated for root rot and also transplanted into my soil blend in clear pots. My #jadepothos has me excited because she looks so healthy and she's new to me. What I'm really excited about is my #catpalm. I gave up hope on Michele because those #spidermites took over so fast and kept growing no matter what I did! I put her in the garage to die a slow death, I couldn't bear to put her on the curb. But I found this stuff: Big Leaf Energy, and it's giving me hope! There's no new movement on the fronds and it's been almost 48 hours! I gave her some water today, so we'll see. If I can save my gateway plant, I can do anything #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Philo Birkin Pup has no Variegation? Hi fellow Greggers! My Philodendron Birkin made some pups. But oddly enough, thereās no color, even though the mother plant is still creating variegated leaves. Do they develop variagation as they grow, or are the pups just genetically reverting back to their Congo Rojo heritage? (There are no baby red leaves, and if you look closely, there is some faint green veining on some of the leaves but not all.) If they arenāt really variegated, do they still count as Birkins? The leaf shape looks so different from Congo Rojo, so Iām not sure if it counts as that either, but maybe itās because theyāre young? #BirkinPhilodendron #Philodendron

Sunday night roundup: 1. My #philodendron Paraiso verde has the prettiest new leaf šæ 2. I was a little bit scared to get a #StringOfPearls because of their reputation for being a bit fussy, but mine is thriving! The strings have grown so long already š Definitely happy I took the risk. 3. My older #PeaceLily started as a division from my momās, so itās a bit sentimental to me. Iām not great at getting it to bloom (I donāt think I have the best light for her) but hereās her lovely new spathe š„° 4 & 5. I recently found a #FrizzleSizzle at the grocery store for $7.99. Couldnāt turn it down. I didnāt know they bloomed! Iām stoked š¤š¼ Hope everyone has a wonderful week. Iām trying to fight off the Sunday Sads, dreading the week ahead š¤¦š»āāļø lol But it will all be okay. I have my #PlantTherapy to help! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #PhiloFlock #stringsofthings #VSOP #TrailingPlants #Succulents
