How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water the Philodendron Brandi plant deeply, but allow the top of the soil to become moderately dry before the next watering. Philodendrons are tough plants, so they will not be bothered if you forget to water your plant once or twice. If your plant has droopy and curly leaves, it is receiving insufficient water supply.

Pruning
Cutting back philodendron plants is beneficial if the plant is taking up too much space in the room, or if the plant looks long and leggy. This type of pruning is best done in spring or fall. You can safely give your philodendron a light trim any time of year to remove yellowing leaves and trim spindly growth.
