Philodendron Brasil (Philodendron hederaceum ‘Brasil’)
Philodendron Brasil is a colorful twist on the classic Heartleaf Philodendron, with heart-shaped leaves streaked in shades of deep green, lime, and golden yellow. Each leaf develops its own unique pattern, giving this easygoing trailing plant plenty of color without a lot of extra fuss.
Let it cascade from a shelf or hanging basket, or give it a pole or trellis to climb. It tolerates a range of indoor conditions, but brighter indirect light will help keep its signature variegation vibrant.
Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Medium to bright, indirect light, brighter light helps maintain variegation
💧 Water: Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry between waterings
🌫 Humidity: Average household humidity is fine, but appreciates higher humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives around 65 to 80°F, protect from cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: No
⭐ Rare: No
Fun Fact:
The cultivar is officially spelled Brasil, not Brazil. Its green and yellow variegation inspired the name because it resembles the colors of the Brazilian flag. 🇧🇷🌿
