Philodendron Brandtianum
Silver Leaf Philodendron
The broad heart-shaped leaves of the Philodendron Brandtianum have wonderful silver or grayish-white patches hence it’s popularly known as the Silver Leaf Philodendron! The heart-shaped new leaves come out as brown-orange. This beautiful houseplant can be seen as a climbing plant or as a hanging plant. It’s highly popular among garden enthusiasts thanks to their versatility and beautiful look.
It’s an easy tropical plant that require little care. They thrive in moist soils and grow best when provided with a pole that is mossed or wrapped in burlap, to climb against. It likes a well-drained but moist, rich organic mix. Do not use potting soil or dry sandy soil. To help your new Philodendron grow, fertilisation is needed. Without fertilisation, they will grow very slowly.
This ease to care for plant is one of the most popular houseplants. In tropical regions it can survive outside, however in most places it is used strictly as a houseplant. While blooms on this fast-growing climber may appear at any time during the year most plants in confinement never bloom. The Philodendron is an evergreen vine that thrives in partial shade at moderate temperatures.
