Philodendron 'Brandi'

Philodendron 'Brandi' (Philodendron brandtianum)

The Brandi is a plant that rewards a closer look. At first glance it's a lush, trailing vine — but lean in and you'll notice each olive-green leaf is painted with silvery-grey brushstrokes between the veins, giving it a soft, almost watercolor quality. It's understated elegance at its best, and one of those plants that looks equally at home in a minimalist space as it does in a lush, layered jungle corner.

Why You'll Love It

• Distinctive silver variegation — olive-green leaves with soft silver markings between the veins; subtle but stunning up close
• Vigorous trailing habit — grows quickly and looks beautiful cascading from a shelf or hanging planter
• Easy care — one of the more forgiving Philodendrons, great for beginners and collectors alike
• Compact leaves — heart-shaped foliage stays manageable in size, making it versatile for any space

Care at a Glance

• Light: Bright indirect light enhances the silver markings; tolerates lower light well
• Water: Allow the top 1–2" of soil to dry between waterings
• Humidity: Prefers 50%+ humidity but adapts to average household conditions
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix with added perlite
• Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C); keep away from cold drafts
• Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer

Ships healthy in a nursery pot, ready to trail, climb, or cascade wherever you place it.
