Philodendron brandtianum
Philodendron brandtianum is a climbing species with small, heart-shaped juvenile leaves marked in strong silver-grey between the veins. It can trail when young, but its natural habit is appressed climbing, with stems growing close to trunks or other vertical surfaces.
Juvenile leaves stay smaller and strongly silver-marked, with green showing around the veins and margins. Older climbing growth may produce larger, greener leaves with a lighter silver pattern than the juvenile growth usually sold as a houseplant.
Philodendron brandtianum juvenile leaf pattern
- Leaf pattern: Heart-shaped juvenile leaves with strong silver-grey marking between the veins.
- Growth habit: An appressed climber that grows close to trunks and branches in habitat.
- Native range: Native to southern Colombia, northern Brazil and Bolivia.
- Biome: Recorded from the seasonally dry tropical biome.
Philodendron brandtianum adult leaf change
Philodendron brandtianum was published by K. Krause in 1913. The species is native to southern Colombia, northern Brazil and Bolivia.
The juvenile leaves are green, heart-shaped and overlaid with silver. Older climbing growth may become larger and greener, with less of the heavy silver pattern seen on juvenile leaves. On support, the plant can make a denser column of juvenile growth; left to hang, stems often stay thinner and leaves smaller.
Philodendron brandtianum support and leaf care
- Support: Use a slim pole, plank, or textured stake for its smaller leaves and close-climbing habit.
- Light: Give bright, diffused light to support denser growth. Direct sun can mark the thinner juvenile leaves.
- Temperature: Keep warm, ideally around 18–28°C, and avoid cold draughts or chilled windows.
- Watering: Let the top 25–40% of the pot dry before watering. This species tolerates slight drying better than a constantly wet root zone.
- Substrate: Use a loose mix with bark, perlite, and a moisture-holding organic base so fine roots get both air and even moisture.
- Humidity: Average indoor humidity is often tolerated, but higher humidity reduces dry tips and helps fresh leaves open smoothly.
- Repotting: Move up one pot size when roots fill the container, the mix dries very quickly, or the support needs a steadier base.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, avoiding strong doses on dry roots.
- Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node; rooted tips and sections with aerial roots establish fastest.
- Pruning: Trim long stems above a node to encourage fuller growth, then root the cuttings to thicken the pot.
- Semi-hydroponics: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro setups if transitioned gradually and kept with airflow around the crown.
Philodendron brandtianum pattern and stem issues
- Weak silver pattern: Check light first. Very low light can make growth thinner and less defined.
- Crispy tips: Often linked to dry air, irregular watering, or salt buildup. Flush the mix occasionally and avoid overfeeding.
- Thin, stretched stems: Move the plant closer to bright filtered light and give it a surface to climb.
- Yellowing after watering: Inspect the roots and lower stem. Fine or compacted soil can stay wet long enough to cause root stress.
- Pests: Check leaf undersides, petioles and stem nodes for spider mites, thrips, scale or mealybugs, especially on dense growth.
Philodendron brandtianum is harmful if eaten and may irritate skin or eyes through sap contact. Keep it away from pets and rinse your hands after pruning.
Philodendron brandtianum etymology and description history

Is this a meal replacement or a chocolate shake?
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
By far my favorite meal replacement shake! Delicious like a chocolate shake! Chock full of protein and other essential ingredients for a healthy meal. I like the vanilla one but by far chocolate is my favorite. Very smooth and can probably mix with other supplements, it goes down easy. You can also take it with you on the go!

Tastes great!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Multiple times re-ordering, this is a great tasting drink. That is quick and easy to grab for everybody in the house. Full of protein taste great and healthy. Makes me feel good. Having even the kids grab one on their way out the door if they are missing a meal or need a quick snack or pick me up before sports we currently need to re-order so I don’t have any pictures to post but if you’re thinking about it I would get them .

Probably the best
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I'm not a super meat head muscle workout guy, but I went from being very active about my nutrition and macros and then had an accident which left me disabled so my needs changed. This fits different needs, but is still really really exceptional.
If you're a gym rat just looking for *only* plain old bulk protein to take after workouts, or you reeeeeeallly take a lot of it, honestly I'd get a big giant tub of bulk powder from like muscle milk or optimum nutrition. The price is just too good to ignore, & plus you can add another scoop or two to double or triple the protein. You can't really beat it, other than taste.
Speaking of taste, whether it's a pre-mix or powders, I've never, ever ever ever tasted a protein shake that tasted as good as this chocolate one. Dozens & dozens of brands over the decades, & the only one that comes close was the OG Muscle Milk recipe in the old tetra packs from like 15-20 years ago, before they were bought by Gatorade or whoever. This has NO right tasting as good as it does, with as little sugar, calories, & fat. PLUS having artificial sweeteners like stevia & sucralose. One reason I despise pre-made shakes, zero calorie & low sugar drinks is because I have a very strong detection of artificial sweeteners, but I can barely tell these are there. On top of that, 42 grams of protein in 14floz? I don't know what magic Fairlife did, but it's incredible.
One thing I will say though, is if you're taking a protein drink for pretty much anything other than supplemental protein replacement, this doesn't offer too much else. The "vitamins & minerals" aren't too impressive, and though a high protein drink can make you feel full or satiated, calories & fat are important too. As stereotyped it is, something like Ensure has a really good blend of calories, fat, sugar, and a lot of vitamins. There is a reason it's used all over hospitals & nursing homes. Plus the Ensure "Plus" & "Complete" have 16g & 30g protein each, respectively. They don't taste as good as the Fairlife does, but they're actually not too bad, since they use actual sugar. However, those really are meant for convalescing & true meal replacement, not bulking & training.
The only other downside is price really, at $40-45 for a 12 pack, these aren't cheap. However, when compared to a good alternative like optimum gold at about $25 for a 12 pack, you're getting almost double the protein in each drink from 24 to 42, and they're 14oz instead of 11oz, so you're getting 168oz compared to 132oz, which is like getting 3 more drinks worth. It's still a bit costly per bottle, as an Optimum Nutrition/Pure Protein/Premier Protein 11oz pre-made at $25 a 12pk will be a little over $2 each, & the Fairlife 12pk @ $45 is about $3.75 each. Still cheaper than if you went to pick one up at the gym or a gas station or something, a single would probably be $5-7, so there's value there in bulk. If it's worth it to you, that's up to your wallet.
Another plus is they are SNAP/EBT eligible, so that's a massive W.
If you take loads & loads & loads of protein every single day, and lugging a shaker with powder around isn't a problem, bulk powder is gonna be a LOT cheaper. However, if you only drink one every couple days, and don't want to deal with the blender/shaker hassle, and most importantly want the best tasting shake, this is it. This stuff is awesome, & I'll 1000% be trying the vanilla and strawberry as well. The chocolate is an easy 5 and worth trying.

Yummy taste!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12), Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I’ve been using the Core Power Elite protein shakes and they’ve honestly become a go-to. The taste is super smooth and not chalky at all—more like chocolate milk than a typical protein drink. Each bottle packs 42g of protein, which is perfect after a workout or when I need something quick and filling.
I also love that it’s lactose-free and easy on my stomach. Great for busy days, gym recovery, or hitting protein goals without overthinking it. Definitely keeping these stocked

The Best Protein Drink I've Ever Had!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
These are hands down my favorite protein shakes. I’ve tried quite a few different brands over the years, but I honestly don’t drink any other protein drinks now besides these. The chocolate flavor is absolutely delicious and tastes much better than most protein shakes I’ve had.
They’re smooth, not chalky whatsoever like other protein drinks, and have a great balance of sweetness without tasting artificial. The high protein content is also a huge plus for post-workout recovery or a quick meal on busy days. I always keep these stocked in my fridge and restock every other week!
