Description
Source: leafsnapPhilodendron brandtianum is a species of plant in the genus Philodendron. A climbing epiphyte that closely hugs its host tree, it is native to southern Colombia, northern Brazi, and Bolivia in seasonally dry areas. It is also grown in temperate regions as a house plant, where it is best known for the heavy silver variegation on its juvenile leaves. It is sometimes confused for Philodendron hederaceum and Philodendron variifolium.
💡 Tree philodendrons are tropical foliage plants known for their large, thick, and lustrous green leaves. Their sturdy petioles add to their robust appearance. These plants have a high ornamental value and exude vitality.
