Origin
The Philodendron 'Silver Queen' is a tropical plant that originates from the rainforests of South America. Here, the plant grows in the moist, shady undergrowth of the forest. The Philodendron 'Silver Queen' belongs to the Araceae family, which encompasses more than 3000 other species.

Characteristics
The Philodendron 'Silver Queen' distinguishes itself from other species by its unique silver-green leaves that have a velvet-like texture. Also, the plant has a climbing growth habit and can reach considerable heights in the right conditions. Despite this climbing ability, the Philodendron 'Silver Queen' grows quite slowly, making it easy to keep indoors.

Care
When caring for the Philodendron 'Silver Queen', it is important to mimic its natural habitat as closely as possible. This means indirect light, high humidity and a consistently warm temperature. Unlike other indoor plants, the Philodendron 'Silver Queen' prefers water that is slightly acidic, so the use of rainwater is highly recommended. The plant should only be watered moderately, with extra care to prevent root rot by not over-saturating it.
