Philodendron Brandi (Philodendron brandtianum)
Philodendron Brandi is a sleek, easygoing houseplant that adds a bright, modern look with its silvery patterned foliage. It is a great choice when you want something distinctive but still forgiving, since it grows steadily and adapts well to typical indoor conditions. You can let it trail from a pot or train it upward for a more structured display, depending on your space. If you want a plant that brings texture and contrast without feeling fussy, Philodendron Brandi is a perfect fit.
Distinctive Features
This philodendron is prized for elongated, heart-shaped leaves marked with silvery gray patterning over a green background, creating a soft metallic effect. It has a vining, climbing habit, and it can develop a fuller, more impressive look when given a small trellis or moss pole. The foliage is thinner and more refined than many thick-leaf philodendrons, which helps it feel light and airy in mixed plant groupings. The silvery patterning stands out especially well against darker green plants, making it a strong accent even in smaller pots.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Bright, indirect light is ideal to keep strong coloration, and it tolerates medium light with slower growth.
- Soil: Airy, well-drained aroid mix that holds some moisture but never stays soggy.
- Water: Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil dry, and do not let the pot sit in water.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity supports best leaf quality, with average home humidity acceptable.
- Growth Habit: Trailing to climbing vine that can be styled to cascade or trained upward on support.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Place on a plant stand where the silvery foliage can catch the light and stand out.
- Shelf Styling: Let it trail from a shelf to add a softer, cascading layer to your plant display.
- Climbing Display: Train up a small trellis or pole to create a tidy, upright look with patterned leaves.
- Mixed Planters: Use as a contrast plant alongside deep green foliage for a brighter, textured look.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Allow a partial dry-down between waterings, and reduce watering during slower winter growth.
- Pruning: Trim stems to encourage branching and a fuller plant, and root cuttings to thicken the pot.
- Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer at a moderate strength.
- Support: Add a small trellis or pole if you want larger leaves and a more upright presentation.
Why Choose Philodendron Brandi?
- Silvery Patterned Leaves: Metallic-looking foliage adds contrast and a modern feel indoors.
- Flexible Growth: Trails or climbs, making it easy to style in different spaces.
- Easy Care Routine: Thrives with bright, indirect light and simple watering habits.
- Great Accent Plant: Adds texture and brightness to mixed indoor plant displays.
Philodendron Brandi is a great choice when you want a plant that feels refined and distinctive without demanding attention. Give it bright, indirect light, an airy mix, and watering after partial dry-down, and it will grow steadily and stay attractive. Whether you let it trail or train it upward, it becomes a reliable focal accent with standout silvery foliage.

A fine performance
Format: Paperback
You see an old pocket knife on the cover, maybe a Case; it may have even belonged to Jesse Graves, but he has certainly used it
in sculpting his poetry. "Tennessee Landscape" is pure plain speech, and all the more evocative for it. Graves uses language not to shock, not incite and not to transgress; he uses it to bring home simple and time worn truths that never go away. In the poem that is the book's title, Graves recounts his family history and ends telling us "The dead move through us at their will, their voices chime/just beyond our hearing...alone in the field, and never alone." He pays homage to a farming tool"(Elegy for a Hay Rake), not with a tone of jaundiced cynicism, speaking to it instead in a voice filled with thanks and appreciation, as if the hay rake, too,knew how worthwhile its job had been.
The second part of the volume expands Graves' geography from East Tennessee to New Orleans, North Carolina, points beyond, and the cast of subjects becomes a little broader as well, but the language remains firm and precise. "The Night Cafe: North Rendon, New Orleans": diction so perfect I feel I was there that night too. "My Sister at Sea": likely my favorite here. It feels personal, a short glimpse into a private heart; the glimpse is snatched away in a hurry but not before Graves tells us "...wishing I could bring/ you to this shore...Make your illness a small boat we could burn/Sailing out in ashes on the current."
Whether it is a landscape, a hay rake, a bar or a loved one, Jesse Graves is a poet of things that last, one who writes quiet confessions with confidence in a spare quiet and sure voice.
Very highly recommend this book.

Fine Contemporary Poetry--Just Happens to Be Appalachian
Format: Paperback
The poems in Jesse Graves' TENNESSEE LANDSCAPE WITH BLIGHTED PINE express an indebtedness to a way of life that we contemporary Appalachians have watched transform at an accelerated pace over the past few decades, as we see the beloved old ways of our culture adapt to the demands of a society marked with the pervasiveness of media, the incursion of corporate demands, and the poignant recognition that as much as family prepares us to face the world outside our community, the impact of that world can blur the impressions our homes have made on us. Graves' work approaches these themes from various directions, as a son looking to the legacy of his family, as a youth and young man balancing education--both formal and that gleaned from personal experience--and as a family man weighing what he shares and offers in embodying those values.
In this consistently fine volume, it is difficult to select favorites, but there are "River Gods," where an inebriated student and his companion cross the high railway trestle over the Tennessee River in Knoxville, Tennessee, "Deep Corner," where the speaker contemplates how his life has turned out differently than his brother's, "Mother's Milk," where the speaker weighs how much his mother has contributed to his life (including, sweetly, "an ear for slightly off-pitch singing"), and "Digging the Pond," where the speaker and his father silently acknowledge that the son will not preserve all his father's values:
. . . I stood off to the side too often
to learn what he was born knowing.
The doing and the undoing.
I can find in his face what he reads
about the future in the tea-colored water,
his eyes and mine trying to avoid it.
Graves' love for these gifts, those accepted and those only acknowledged, resonates throughout TENNESSEE LANDSCAPE WITH BLIGHTED PINE.
Graves' appreciation for lyric poetry, his talent for finding the expressiveness of everyday language, and his offering scenes with great depth of meaning and feeling make this collection memorable, worthy of high recommendation.

Extraordinary Journey
Format: Paperback
Jesse Graves conducts the reader on an intimate journey from childhood to manhood. Rooted deep in the rich red clay of East Tennessee, the narrative provides fresh insights about the ties of land and family. "Johnson's Ground" describes an annual homecoming at the family cemetery: "they never let us go, even the ones/Laid under before our births continue to make their claims." The poems express both nostalgia for the past as well as forward-looking hopes for a fresh life in the future. Daughter, Chloe often becomes a bridge from present to past as in "Water Washing Away": "A fair price for the vision of a girl/ who has warped the ancient spell of time,/ who has turned back my eyes." Tennessee Landscape with Blighted Pine is an enchanting read for poet and non-poet alike.

Go Read Art Smith or Charles Wright
Format: Paperback
This book is clearly the case of someone steeped in a lyric tradition, but, rather than engaging in the self-reflexive structure of the tradition, is interested in describing ad nauseum, his southern experience. While there are moments in the book that tend toward the sublime, it rests largely as self-indulgent in a way antithetical to the form it chooses.

Dr. G.
Format: Paperback
Jesse Graves (a.k.a. "Dr. G.") is one of my professors at East Tennessee State University. Not only is he a great teacher, he is a very talented poet. I would recommend his work to anyone! Anyone that does not like his work probably just failed his class. :p
