With its extra-large leaves and striking silver mottling, Sodiroi Philodendron is a prized addition to any gardener's collection. The heart-shaped leaves can reach up to 8 inches across, while this climbing vine can grow to 4-6 feet indoors. Its dramatic pink shade covers the leaves, petioles, and stems. Native to the rainforests of Colombia, Venezuela, and French Guiana, Philodendron brandtianum—also known as Philodendron Brandi or Silver Leaf Philodendron—is remarkably easy to grow, even for novice houseplant enthusiasts, offering a stunning display year-round.
Best Locations For Growing Sodiroi Philodendron
Higher humidity levels promote vigorous growth and help prevent unsightly brown tips on the leaves, making kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms ideal locations. Train your plant on a moss pole or trellis to encourage vertical climbing, or use hanging baskets to showcase its long trailing stems. Note that all parts of Philodendrons are toxic and may irritate sensitive skin. Keep them out of reach of children and curious pets.
Sodiroi Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
Sodiroi Philodendron exhibits its most vibrant colors in bright to medium indirect light. East and west-facing windows are optimal, providing limited bright light during the early or late part of the day, respectively. If natural light is unavailable, broad-spectrum LED or fluorescent grow lights can effectively support growth.
During the warmer summer months, these plants can thrive outdoors but will need protection from direct sunlight. Position them in partial or bright shade to protect them during the hottest part of the day.
Sodiroi Philodendron Care
Aroid plants thrive in potting mixes with ample air spaces and good moisture retention. Orchid potting mixes containing organic materials like finely shredded bark, coco coir, or charcoal work well. You can improve the drainage of an all-purpose potting mix by adding perlite at a 1:1 ratio.
Healthy, robust side shoots make excellent cuttings for propagation; simply place the stem in water to encourage root growth over a few weeks. Repot mature plants when roots start to emerge from the bottom of the container.
Watering Sodiroi Philodendron
Maintain consistent moisture in the potting mix to support strong growth. The soil should feel like a wrung-out sponge at all times. Check for watering once a week during the summer, reducing to every 10-14 days in winter. To maintain a humidity level of 60-80%, consider using indoor growing tents or a cool mist humidifier. Daily misting with a spray bottle can also be effective.
Feeding Sodiroi Philodendron
An all-purpose houseplant fertilizer works well for Sodiroi Philodendron. Apply it at half the manufacturer’s recommended dosage every 3-4 weeks during the spring and summer months, and then stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
