Philodendron 'Brandtianum'

Philodendron Brandi 🌿✨ is loved for its heart-shaped olive green leaves brushed with soft silver markings, giving it a more subtle, elegant look than louder variegated plants. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the silver pattern stays nicest and it can trail from a shelf or climb if you give it support. This is a generally easy plant that grows well with a simple routine, though it does not love staying soggy or sitting in a very dark corner. Pro tip: if the leaves start coming in smaller or the silver pattern looks dull, move it closer to brighter light and let the top layer of soil dry before watering again.
