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! ❄️

Does anyone know why my Phildendron Silver Cloud won’t grow more than 2-3 leaves? I’ve had it since April 2021 and it’s never had more than 3 leaves at a time?¿

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. Is 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! 💚 I’m utterly in love with it! It still hasn’t fully hardened and I hope it can get a little bit bigger 😅 (I know im being greedy haha) #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #Greggers #GregGang #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #PhilodendronMamei #philodendronsilvercloud #HoyaAddictHome

An impulsive repot because he wasn’t buried deep enough in the pot he came in. I’ll be adding a bamboo pole or something for him to climb when we’re home. Also droopy like someone’s touching his neck but Athena perked up once she was repotted so I’m hoping for the same result for this guy. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #ADHDPLANTLOVERS #NewPlantMom

Just scored this Summer Glory for $35 at Calloways on Hulen in Fort Worth. She is going to make EXCELLENT balcony candy this summer. They had a Red Congo this size for $40 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Philodendron

Crystals? Today, I noticed that some of my Ring of Fire Philodendron leaves have these weird, slightly sticky crystal things on the bottom. The top of the leaves with them have spots as well. Google says they could be nectar or they could be pests. What are y'all's thoughts? He's been super happy, and I want to keep him that way. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #greggershelpinggreggers #philodendron #pests #help

I have one leaf that has gone limp is turning brown, I checked the soil and it is not too damp. I was wondering what else could cause this and if I should do anything with the leaf (i.e. remove it or support it) #Philodendron

Hello! My first post! Soooo this plant was given to me by a friend in November as a gift when my mother passed away. I cannot lose this plant.! I’m generally very good with greenery but these brown spots keep cropping up. Does anyone have a clue what I’m doing wrong? #Philodendron #RingofFire
