4" Philodendron brandtianum

Not tolerant of cold trip delay.

Packaging looked good. Plant arrived a day later than expected due to mail issue and a cold front in Kansas where it was stalled. Upon opening the package I could see it was a lovely plant, as it warmed up to room temperature, and by the next day, I could see it was lost. Two other plants in the shipment survived, one will make it, though looks quite beat up, the other lost baby leaves but no real issues. (Lost baby leaves with stress is expected and no surprise with a Hoya, and the Hoya poly did best. ) The hot pack in the shipment was cool to the touch. Sad for the loss, but knew I was gambling with possible weather coming…. Would have been 5 star otherwise and no fault with seller.

This one is doing well.

Sooo handsome

Brad (his name. Obviously), came packaged impeccably. (Seriously- how did you do that? He’s a handful!!!) and he settled in very nicely. In my household he’s been a slow-ish grower but he didn’t really show any signs of shipping stress either. While the pictures I’m attaching are probably way over a month later, this is close to the size he came at. Gorgeous color. Impeccable shipping. I really recommend this one. Pro tip- if you’re able to get your hands on (lol) a second set of hands to help you un pack, repot, basically anything where you’re maneuvering this guy, it will be so much easier. He’s tangly and thin. Ps I DID find his arrival pic and he actually has grown quite a lot so I guess he’s just not flamboyant. But he’s definitely my silver fox!! 😍
