Light

Philodendron brandtianum grows best with bright, indirect light. Keep in mind that in the plant’s native tropical environment, it receives frequent and abundant sunshine but is protected from direct sun by the canopy of foliage that naturally grows above and around the plant. Mimic these conditions by choosing a sunny spot in the room, but avoid a windowsill with direct sun, which is too harsh for this plant.

Soil

Well-draining soil is essential for Philodendron brandtianum. If you choose to pot this plant using standard potting soil mix, it may be best to amend the soil using a 3:1 ratio with perlite or coir. In addition, pick a nutrient-rich potting soil mix or add compost to ensure that the soil is rich enough to support the plant’s moderately fast growth rate. The pH level of the soil should hover between neutral and slightly acidic.

Water

Philodendron brandtianum should be watered deeply and regularly, with the frequency depending on the specific environment. The best approach is to water the plant when the top few inches of soil feel dry; this may be as often as every other day during or as infrequent as once per week. Aside from dry soil, drooping or curling leaves are an indication that the plant needs more moisture. Be sure to avoid watering the leaves, as doing so can lead to fungal growth
