  •   Philodendron 'Brasil' (Philodendron hederaceum 'Brasil') is a variegated cultivar of the heart-leaf philodendron from the Araceae family, native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America where it scrambles along the forest floor and climbs tree trunks beneath a humid canopy. It filters formaldehyde and other airborne toxins from indoor environments, combining decorative foliage with practical air-cleaning function.

      Heart-shaped leaves with lime green and golden yellow streaks cutting through a deep emerald base define this plant's appearance. Each leaf has a soft, waxy texture and slight gloss, with no two leaves marked exactly alike, and the vines trail or climb depending on how you position it. The stems grow long, trailing from shelves, hanging baskets, or climbing a moss pole for vertical display.

      Philodendron Brasil is grown almost entirely for its variegated foliage rather than blooms, which rarely appear in indoor cultivation. New growth unfurls regularly throughout the seasons.

      Rotate it regularly so all sides receive even light exposure, and keep it away from direct air conditioning vents, heating registers, or dry drafts. It adapts to trailing or climbing growth forms depending on support, fitting both bohemian and contemporary interiors. Once you position it in a spot, avoid frequent moves since the plant is sensitive to relocation. It propagates easily from stem cuttings taken just below a node and placed in water or moist soil, with roots appearing in two to three weeks.

  •   Philodendron 'Brasil' grows well in bright indirect light but also performs under standard office LED lighting and lower light conditions.

      Water it every 7 to 10 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry before watering again.

      Philodendron Brasil prefers a well-draining potting mix combining standard potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark for aeration.

      It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F and should never be exposed to frost or temperatures below 50°F.

      Philodendron Brasil is a fast-growing trailing vine that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA Zones 9 through 11, where temperatures rarely dip below 25°F, though frost-free conditions yield best results. It grows outdoors year-round across Florida, Hawaii, coastal California, southern California, parts of Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina, as well as the mild coastal stretches of Oregon. In Zone 9 fringe areas, bring it indoors when cold snaps approach. Summer outdoor placement works throughout nearly every US state during warm months.
  • Q: How often should I water Philodendron 'Brasil'?
    A: Check soil moisture by inserting your finger an inch deep; water when the top inch feels dry. Overwatering causes yellow leaves and soft stems more often than underwatering does.

    Q: Is it safe around cats and dogs?
    A: Philodendron 'Brasil' should be kept out of reach of pets, as the sap can cause irritation to paws and skin if nibbled or ingested. A high shelf provides the safest placement.

    Q: Can Philodendron Brasil survive without water during a trip?
    A: You can leave it up to ten days without water.

    Q: How do I grow this plant upright instead of trailing?
    A: Philodendron Brasil climbs a moss pole naturally, creating a narrower, more upright form. Secure the stems loosely to the pole as they grow.

    Q: Why are the leaves on Philodendron Brasil turning yellow?
    A: Yellow leaves typically stem from overwatering or soil that stays too wet between waterings. Cold air from AC vents also triggers yellowing, so reposition away from direct airflow.

    Q: Can I move this plant outside in summer?
    A: Philodendron Brasil grows faster in a shaded outdoor spot during warm months than it does indoors. Keep it sheltered from heavy rain and bring it back indoors well before temperatures drop in autumn.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
