So we're basically conservation specialists? Thanks for that idea, I know what I'm telling my husband the next time a haul turns up😁 I'm doing environmental conservation work for mamma earth & will thank him for financing our bit for the planet🌱 In around 3-6 hours according to the Fed ex tracking number 😆
Humans. Masters of hypocrisy. No, you aren't saving anything. You are participating actively to the distruction of their habitats, especially if you are a meat consumer, as Bresil is known for cutting forests for soy plantation as fodder plant. So let's not make confusion between simply owning interior plants and saving nature. It's far from that.
While conservation through cultivation is an okay idea at face value, I think we should be reticent in promoting this idea too heavily as it may detract from protecting habitat loss. Ultimately, if there's no habitat left for these plants we're cultivating to return to then what's the point if they can't go back into nature anymore? I just bring this up as a means for discussion because I know from your videos and from reading your book that you understand this point far more than most people (myself included), Summer. It's frustrating because it seems like more and more habitat for these plants is eliminated at alarming rates each year.
Will you pleeease continue this series untill you have one on all the species you have? I know it was meant to be a one year project. But it is just soo cool to have a full index on all your plants, and well explained caretips on a lot of unusual/uncommon houseplants.
Love this plant 😍 I have mine next to my calathea ornata. Talk about your polar opposites! 😆 I tend to her and tell her how precious she is. Then I look at my ornata😒 I just say "you jerk " and walk away😂🙈 😂
I have 3 of the Silver Sword in a pot, growing on a PVC pipe covered in Jute rope. I also added a connector on the top part of the PVC pipe before I added the Jute rope, that way I can add more pipes as it grows without having to undo its had work once the pole gets to short. Now they are only juvenile plants, and they are "only" sold as single plants in pots here in Australia. I have only had them for about 2 months, but so far I have had about 5-6 new leaves on each plants so I must be doing something right. They look really nice and lush, and I hope to propagate some more once they get a bit larger to fill out the pot even more. I just can't wait to see it really big and lush and rainforest like, it gets gentle morning sun and bright light during the day but no direct sunlight after about 10 am as the sunlight is extremely strong and hot here in Australia. I love your videos, and I have learned so much from yourself and I have asked for your book as a birthday gift from my husband.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience of growing yours. All so very helpful to everyone here. Can't wait for your plants to become lush and big too!!!
I have recently purchased two of these beauties, approximately the same size as yours. I’d been wanting one for years, so now I’m very happy! I have transferred one into Lechuza pon and I’m curious to see if there’s a difference in how they develop. Thanks for your informative clip.
I found one of the typical ones at a nursery. I was impressed with the silvery texture and got it. Never thought is an endangered species. Thanks to you, now is my favorite plant!
Thank you so much Summer for this video! You have been such a mine of information and have given me guts to purchase new plants I would never dare to buy. Please visit the Netherlands again soon!
This is probably the easiest plant in my collection. I have it on my windowsill (NW facing window) above a heater. I spray it 1-2 a day and it's super happy. Even during the winter with -10 degrees C outside and the heater being on the growth is amazing. During the last month, it started growing 4 new leaves and what appears to be a flower. The flower bud was green at first but it turned brown now so i don't think the flower will make it.
I love the Hastatum. Yours are actually gorgeous. I bought a baby about 8 months ago and it is starting to get pretty tall on my bamboo stake. I just hope the leaves start to get bigger soon.
What a beautiful plant, I love Philodendrons, and will usually pick up any that I come across, this one however I have not yet seen in person. Thank you again Summer for such a great series.
did you ever find out if these are different variations or if its just a maturity thing? I currently have a cutting and it has small round leaves. Im assuming its very young. I love the look of those long leaves though and im hoping mine will eventually look like that? Also I love your channel so much and it has made me a plant dad.
Hi! I don’t know if you di requests 😊 but yesterday I got a peperomia prostrata and I’d love a video on that one. I did watch your peperomia videos 👍🏼🌿 have a great day
Hey Summer Rayne, a lot of people seem to talk about 2 forms of philodendron hastatum, and today I have spent the evening looking - I cant find a second form, or evidence of 2 forms. I think the narrow leaf you have is just a semi-adult. Its now 3 years on since you posted this video, have you come to any new conclusions? It would be nice to know. There is however a philodendron subhastatum - but it is very different from hastatum. It would be nice to hear more from you on this subject.
I too have an endangered species amidst my houseplants. May Sanderiana as I research more is endemic to my country and is critically endangered. Im never going to let my Alocasia Sanderiana die on me
How important is plant fertilization? I have grown 50+ houseplants and I have not fertilized most of them yet they grow fine. Is it something I should consider?
Why did one of my leaves get yellow and fall off? The leaf stem was oozy. I just bought it and I'm already feeling overwhelmed :( I see no bugs and the soil is moist but not extremely, could it be getting too much light?
Mine has a big problem New leaves are getting damaged and deformed because they get caught in the sheath of the previous leaf and continue growing out, curling in and snapping themselves. I sometimes can manually spread the sheath and release the new leaf but it doesn't always save it from deforming. I checked the other Hastatums at the store and they were also having the same problem. Has anyone else experienced this or have any explanation/solutions?
This (in my experience) is due to a lack of humidity. If the air is too dry, the new leaves tend to "stick". I had a prince of orange doing the same thing and once I moved it into the room in which I've got my humidifier, the issue resolved itself. Hope this helps.
Ikr? I paid over $50 for a mature leaf form cutting from Sri Lanka, it took like a month and a half to get here. Luckily its doing great! I'd say they're really tough plants! I have the narrow leaf form too and it also seems really vigorous.
My twin brother bought this a month ago from our local nursery shop, but is it just me or they grow really slow?? Or its probably because they were in dormancy in the winter here in australia 😂
@@zoelewis7498 I got mine from bunnings as well. Have you changed out the peat moss for a soil mix? Does it get enough light? Mine is next to a west facing window, Ihave vertical blinds and I have them so it gets very bright light and even some sun first thing between 7-9 or 10. Have you fertilised it any now that we are in spring?
I have added a comment as well below, maybe that will help you too. If you have any more questions, just go ahead and I will try to help you as best as I can :)
swedishlina ah thank you!! Ours is sitting next to southwest window & I reckon it’s because my brother repotted into a larger pot straight away 😔 so they had to establish their roots further but at least I noticed theres this slight bump in their stem so im guessing thats a new leaf then?
In most places it illegal to own an endangered animal, why and how are plants different? To me it's very strange that its native habitat is being destroyed and it's endanngered and on the verge of Extinction but it's a common house plant here? This just seems incredibly at odds with itself....
There are definitely restrictions of taking any endangered species from the wild, including plants. You would at the very least need a CITES permit. However, when it's already in cultivation, it's less of an issue. Keep in mind that many people propagate plants through asexual means, like stem cuttings, so this doesn't create a genetically diverse stock, so even having it in cultivation isn't always a solution. But being aware of its status in the wild, I hope, can bring us closer to 1.) caring about the issues that the world face, and maybe even 2.) getting more deeply engaged in proactive solutions for conservation of our world's beautiful wonders.
@@summerrayneoakes I love this reply!!! That is exactly what I think of having these kind of plants, and it makes me appreciate where they are originally from
@@summerrayneoakes Thanks for a great explanation! I guess I'm used to looking at this from an animal conservation point of view and never even thought about this type of situation applied to plants.

How strange to think some plants will possibly only be saved through the houseplant community. I love this one!

Love this knowledgeable woman. She knows her stuff.
Thinking that a plant native from such a giant forest like the Amazon is an endangered species, it shrinks my hart...
I got a Philodendron Silver Sword as a gift and I love him! His name is Phil and he is super easy to take care of 😍
I have recently purchased two of these beauties, approximately the same size as yours. I’d been wanting one for years, so now I’m very happy! I have transferred one into Lechuza pon and I’m curious to see if there’s a difference in how they develop.

Beautiful! Love that we can help these incredible plants stick around. 🙏🏼
hi Summer I love this Philodendron, I didn't know it is endangered, I will buy this plant and propagate the bejesus out it.
Thax it's a really nice plat visdo
This is the latest plantlove for me. Will get me one in a couple of days. Have fallen totally in love with one 😍
I love the Hastatum. Yours are actually gorgeous. I bought a baby about 8 months ago and it is starting to get pretty tall on my bamboo stake. I just hope the leaves start to get bigger soon.
I love this plant 😍
What a beautiful plant, I love Philodendrons, and will usually pick up any that I come across, this one however I have not yet seen in person. Thank you again Summer for such a great series.
This has been on my wish list... haven’t tracked one down yet.
There are young and mature leaves 😉
Omg such beauty ! I love any type of philodendron 🤗
My first thought was wtf does kourtney kardashian know about plants.
Very informational video thank you for uploading!
did you ever find out if these are different variations or if its just a maturity thing? I currently have a cutting and it has small round leaves. Im assuming its very young.

O nice sweet plant
Aw I didn’t know that it was endangered
Hi! I don’t know if you di requests 😊 but yesterday I got a peperomia prostrata and I’d love a video on that one. I did watch your peperomia videos 👍🏼🌿 have a great day
Are you watching me? I literally just ordered a hastatum online after debating whether to get one for months
Can you do a video on other wild endangered plants that we keep as houseplants?
Hey Summer Rayne, a lot of people seem to talk about 2 forms of philodendron hastatum, and today I have spent the evening looking - I cant find a second form, or evidence of 2 forms.

I just bought one earlier. Their family kinda all look alike.
I too have an endangered species amidst my houseplants. May Sanderiana as I research more is endemic to my country and is critically endangered. Im never going to let my Alocasia Sanderiana die on me
I'm glad you're interested enough to probe more deeply!
@@summerrayneoakes uhm. And i think i do still have more i just need to do some research.
How important is plant fertilization? I have grown 50+ houseplants and I have not fertilized most of them yet they grow fine. Is it something I should consider?
what's with those tiny little sugar drops on the stems of the silver sword? is that normal?
Why did one of my leaves get yellow and fall off? The leaf stem was oozy. I just bought it and I'm already feeling overwhelmed :( I see no bugs and the soil is moist but not extremely, could it be getting too much light?
Wow you are beautiful
When did you come back from Singapore
Those big leaves are philodendron silver sword
I don’t think you talked about propping this one!?
Looking to get this plant but seems to be out of stock everywhere! Any tips on where to get in Canada or places that ship to Canada? Thank you!!
Found it at Walmart in can
Mine has a big problem

I can't find this plant anywhere unless I pay an ridiculous amount for a sad cutting. 😰
Ugh, same. I ended up putting my name on a couple wish lists at some nurseries in my town. I'm waiting now 🙄
Ikr? I paid over $50 for a mature leaf form cutting from Sri Lanka, it took like a month and a half to get here. Luckily its doing great! I'd say they're really tough plants! I have the narrow leaf form too and it also seems really vigorous.
PotatoSnail don’t feel bad I spent 89$ for one large leaf but from within the US
Are you kidding me I bought a whole plant for £15+£5 delivery! US prices are crazy wow I’m so happy to be in the Uk when it comes to plants!
My twin brother bought this a month ago from our local nursery shop, but is it just me or they grow really slow?? Or its probably because they were in dormancy in the winter here in australia 😂
Mine is doing really well, and I'm in Melbourne. I have had mine for a month or month and a half. It had been producing leaves and it seems very happy
swedishlina oh wow really? We live in melbourne as well & he got it from bunnings, can you give me some tips for this plant??
