Philodendron Brandi Trellis in Cement Planter
Philodendron Brandi Care
LIGHT: Your Philodendron Brandi can survive in low light conditions, but grows faster and produces more leaves in medium or bright indirect light. The silver coloring will be more pronounced in higher light. Do not place in direct sunlight, as the sun will burn the foliage.
WATER: Water your Philodendron when the top 50%-75% of the soil is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.
HUMIDITY: Basic household humidity is fine for your Philodendron Brandi, but higher humidity encourages larger leaves. Your plant will benefit from the occasional misting.
TEMPERATURE: Your plant will grow well in temperatures between 70-80 degrees during the day and above 55 degrees at night. Keep it away from drafts, especially during the winter months.
FERTILIZER: Feed once a month during spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants.
TOXICITY: Philodendron leaves are toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will result in swelling of the lips and tongue, and stomach irritation with possible vomiting.
ADDITIONAL CARE: Trim out any dead, discolored, damaged, or diseased leaves and stems as they occur. Use clean, sharp scissors to avoid tearing or bruising the stems. Snip stems just above a leaf node. Wash the leaves frequently to prevent dust from clogging its pores.
