Philodendron brandtianum care and propagation in water and soil (with updates!)

This is an in-depth care guide with the beautiful Philodendron brandtianum with its gorgeous silver foliage. This is a very easy and fast growing philodendron to care for so long as you let them acclimatize to your space. In this video I propagate them many ways (in water and soil), and show you an update on the propagates at the end!

The information in your videos are timeless and I can gain as much information as I can every time I re-watch it! So precious to have your knowledge and experience sharing on KZbin!

[@onlyplants]

What a compliment, thank you ❤️

[@GEOMETRICINK]

I’m in Michigan, USA. I keep my Brandtianum outdoors in the summer on a covered porch where it thrives, growing roughly 7 large leaves per month. It really slows down during the winter when I have to bring it inside. My suggestion to anyone who has humid summers...put this plant outside. It does best in humid outdoor conditions and this will help it limp along throughout the winter.

[@onlyplants]

Great share! Thank youu

[@renegadetherapist5664]

I came to this video because I'm in FL and I have a tiny Brandi that I saved from one leaf. She now has several but it's small. The other plants I put outside do amazing so I was wondering if I should put her out and then I read your comment, she is outside now. Wish me luck! They loooove the humidity here, not me so much but well LOL

[@hollypuckett3931]

The way you care about plants is so beautiful. 🥺❤️ It makes me wish I was one of your plants! People, get you a lover that talks to you like Sean talks to his plants 😆

[@robinsonxu8038]

thanks for sharing this.

[@millettesaxie5966]

I'm inspired to propagate my brandtianum now. A single leaf is so expensive here in the Philippines that i'm afraid to propagate mine thinking it might not survive and just waste my cuttings. 😆 Hoping it will be successful. Thank you for sharing this video. ❤

[@onlyplants]

They are easier to propagate than to acclimatize to the home 😀

Your P. Brandtianums are looking beautiful Sean, I loved seeing the propagation. 🙌🌿

Just put my young brandtianum on a pole last week. My first use of a pole ever. I was inspired by your large-leaved outdoor climbing specimen.

[@diannenaworensky6698]

Just got 2 of these yesterday. It wasn't labeled so I was really glad to get home and see that it was what I thought it was. I will be keeping it outside so thanks for the tips. ♥️🌼♥️

[@Lorenmcdee]

I just got one for $15 last week. It was in pretty awful soil and it only has maybe 7 nodes. I've been so afraid to propagate. I've been actually using a LOT of your propagation videos. Please ALWAYS do propagation videos

[@onlyplants]

The next 4 videos are all about propagations. Interesting species 😀

[@victoriagrapsidou3474]

Recently I got my phil.brandianum a single vine with 6 leaves. I just cut it in 3 single leaf cuttings put in spagnum moss in a propagation box, the top with two leaves l put in water and left the original vain with one leaf in its original pot. Fingers crossed 🤞 after watching your amazing video about the Brandianum care mine will also take on soon .

They are far easier to propagare than to acclimatize

I find it easy to root in water other than any of my philo plants even without aerial roots and within a month it gave me a new shoot already , beginners luck maybe ..now i have 2 plants i just wish i don't kill it .. haha

[@PinkRosePurpleMauve1]

LOVE THIS PLANT! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! YAY

[@Crunchyasf]

Just in case anyone was wondering, from personal experience, my brandtianum went months without getting water over the winter. Like the first time I watered them in 2022 was in the beginning of march and the last time they were watered was before Christmas. They looked the same as they did in the fall. Even a few new leaves popped up. The humidity wasn’t great either so there’s that

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaaaaa

[@ryanbehrends1035]

I would also suggest using a Terra cotta pot.

one of my wish list plant

[@Cosyrach]

Thank you for the tips. I bought 2 top cuttings last week, and have chopped them to make 4. When I finally pot it up, it'll go right next to my humidifier, and if needed, I'll put it in a small greenhouse cabinet. It's been a wishlist plant of mine for so long, and I'm determined to make it happy...which in turn will probably make me unhappy, but #plantparentlife 🤣

[@onlyplants]

😀😀 good luck. Its easy to propagate actually

[@Cosyrach]

I just saw one of your fern videos and I brought me one. Your fern plants come out so good. Hope mines do too. Ferns need a lot water I notice 🌱🌱

[@onlyplants]

Yep and they need a lot of light too

[@steffd8822]

So, I repot my Brandi last week & now she's throwing a tantrum & yellowing leaves (2 are turning coppery-brown now), first time I've repot since I got it last year. It's outside now, under the shade canopy along with it's other philo cousins, hoping in a couple of weeks she decides she's done being dramatic. Thank you for sharing!

[@onlyplants]

They hate sudden change. Excessive Yellowing leaves is sign of not enough light or overwatering though.

[@hgchannel9108]

Healthy plant🌱

[@unclepaulsnursery8962]

hey Sean, I need to know what the green on green variegated plant is that is at 20:37 on this video if you could please let me know. Your videos are truly awesome and I have learned alot from you. Happy holidays my plant friend. I look forward to hearing from you in the U.S. in Massachussetts. thank you for doing what you do.

I believe that is a Philodendron Paraiso Verde. One of my fave plants. I have an episode on it 😀

I just love your videos. I think you are such a nice person and so thorough in how you cover the plant care. Question - at the 6:30… time what is the (i think) climbing vine with the distinct white striping down the middle that is behind your right arm on the wall?

[@onlyplants]

Thats an episcia 😀

[@candypearlceliz3267]

[@taz3452]

Hello, I have my philodendron brandtianum in soil but it does not advance, can I place it in water with some fertilizer? This plant has been very difficult for me. thanks for your help.

[@onlyplants]

If you have enough nodes I recommend propagating single nodes in water and starting over rather than moving soil roots into water.

[@taz3452]

@@onlyplants Thank you very much for your help...no sir, the plant is very small.

[@heathers.8596]

I know this video is two years old but I'm holding out hope. I've got a Brandi in ICU right now for root rot. I've removed all affected roots (which is all of them) but the root base looks healthy and it has several nodes and aerial roots. I've got it in a small shot glass with some water hoping for water prop. Would water or spaghnum be better here do you think?

[@onlyplants]

I would do water if I were you. But for me I go straight to moss because I have hundreds of these 😅 i wish I could gift some to you

I love your channel. Please tell me the name of the plant with white veins on the right at 6:24 minutes, Do you have a video about him?

[@user-MarinaKulakova]

@@onlyplants thank you, it was a very nice idea to come up with a vertical landing

[@rsmith8119]

Good video - so the best way was to put into water for faster? How did the moss ones come up?

[@onlyplants]

They propagate very well into potting medium directly, or into moss. The moss ones should 100% take if Im not wrong

Ive posted some massive specimens of this on my instagram @bo.tan.ist . Cant really identify which ones the mother plant anymore because they got so big so fast 😅

[@feliciafelicia6965]

Someone gave me a cutting of this for free with a purchase. It lived in a fishtank with no cover on a heat mat. Leaves got huge, but I just think they're funny looking. Like it wanted to be a Scindapsus exotica, but the Philo club claimed dibs first

[@feliciafelicia6965]

[@cabsm94]

Hey Sean! With your moss poll made out of coconut fiber, how do you keep it damp? Do you rely on the ambient humidity, or do you water it regularly?

[@onlyplants]

Ambient humidity and I aim at it when Im hosing down my plants. Since they live outdoors. Frequent misting is recommended in low humidity but careful to avoid the leaves

[@marloca2407]

I have a epipremnum skeloton key. It's climbing but the new leaves are coming out tiny

❤️ hi Sean, I am just curious why you have so many plants, when you don’t have any videos of plant unboxing.
