General Information and Care: Philodendron 'Small Silver' is one of the more uniquely colored plants that Glass Box Tropicals offers. The leaves are a beautiful light blue to almost silver depending on lighting. The leaf surface is a very uncommon color to see and adds a nice accent to many terrariums otherwise full of solid green leaves. Typically the leaves will range in size from 1-2" in a terrarium depending upon growing conditions. Thus being a great size to add to any size terrarium. Additionally, this species does best when given a hardscape item to grow on, or a background. This is truly a remarkable species that can really stand out in a sea of green terrarium plants.
