Philodendron 'Brasil'

🔥💚 Philodendron ‘Brasil’ (fil-oh-DEN-dron BRAH-zil) 💚🔥

Also known as: Heartleaf Philodendron ‘Brasil’, Variegated Heartleaf Philodendron

This vibrant trailing vine is a sport of the classic heartleaf philodendron, featuring bold green leaves with neon yellow and lime brushstrokes down the center. Easy to care for but striking in appearance, ‘Brasil’ makes a lush statement whether cascading from a hanging pot or climbing up a trellis.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light keeps the variegation vivid. It tolerates medium to low light, though leaves may revert to solid green. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
💧 Water – Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Likes evenly moist soil but is sensitive to overwatering. In winter, allow slightly more drying between waterings.
🌡️ Humidity – Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+), but adapts well to average household conditions. Ideal temps are 65–85°F (18–29°C).
🌱 Growth – A fast-growing, trailing or climbing vine. Prune stems to encourage fullness or propagate cuttings to share. Repot every 1–2 years as roots expand.

📊 Difficulty: Easy / Beginner-friendly (tolerant and adaptable, just avoid extremes in water or light).

🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Contains calcium oxalate crystals that may irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
To maintain the bright lime striping, place ‘Brasil’ in brighter indirect light. Occasional pruning helps encourage bushier growth and keeps vines from getting leggy.
