Size : Single plant (3-5 leaves)| Pot included

Philodendron brandtianum is a rare and highly sought-after philodendron that has olive green leaves with striking gray mottling and silver markings. The attractive heart-shaped leaves grow densely on the vining stems and need a support to climb on or it can be grown as a hanging basket where with a little encouragement it makes a beautiful specimen. If allowed to climb and attach to a support, the leaves can get quite large; if allowed to trail, the leaves remain small. Grow Philodendron brandtianum in partial sun to shade and dry out between waterings.

  • Light: Partial sun or shade; an eastern, western, or northern
    exposure.
  • Temperature: Maintain indoor temperatures above 60ï‚°.
  • Humidity: Preferably above 50% but will tolerate lower levels
    without harm.
  • Watering: Water when the surface of the potting mix appears dry
    and then thoroughly saturate the mix until a little water
    trickles from the bottom of the pot.
  • Fertilizer: Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer like a 15-15-
    15 or lower. If light levels are high, increase to biweekly
    feeding.
  • Pruning: Little pruning is needed except to contain size.
  • Insects and Disease: Few problems with either insects or disease. If plants
    are grown cold and wet, foliar and root diseases can
    become an issue.
  • Comments: Philodendrons are famous potted plant because of the
    unique leaves and form as well as their tolerance to
    indoor growing conditions. They like warmth found in
    the modern home and will grow well under low light and
    low humidity. To culture plants to their optimum, good
    quality light is essential with even some direct sun in the
    morning or afternoon. Watering when soil is beginning
    to dry will keep their roots healthy, and periodic
    applications of a balanced fertilizer will stimulate healthy
    growth.
