Notes
Philodendron (Philodendron brandtianum) is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is evergreen, so its leaves stay on the plant all year. The stems can reach well over three feet tall but stay narrow.
Pairs well with Cebu Blue pothos, Angel wings, and Polka dot begonia.
