Philodendron brandtianum is a species of plant in the genus Philodendron.[1] A climbing epiphyte that closely hugs its host tree, it is native to southern Colombia, northern Brazil, and Bolivia in seasonally dry areas. It is also grown in temperate regions as a house plant,[2] where it is best known for the heavy silver variegation on its juvenile leaves. It is sometimes confused for Philodendron hederaceum and Philodendron variifolium.[3][4]
