Philodendron Hastatum
Philodendron Hastatum
Philodendrons cover a huge variety of species (nearly 500). They are easy-going, provided you keep them out of direct sunlight and allow enough time between waterings in order to prevent root rot. The Hastatum has gorgeous blueish-grey elongated leaves. These quick growers will put out a new leaf every week or so when they're happy.
