Philodendron brandtianum

Description

Heart-shaped, deep green leaves with strokes of glistening silver. Philodendron brandtianum is easily recognisable. This epiphyte originates from tropical South America, and loves high humidity. In their natural habitats they are found scaling up trees in search of water and nutrients, so provide them with something to climb on and mist them often.

FEED

Use a houseplant fertiliser once a month from April – October.

REPOTTING

Repot every 2-3 years when roots begin to protrude out of the drainage holes. Use a well draining house plant potting mix, with added draining medium like perlite.
