Philodendron Brasil is a colourful trailing plant with heart-shaped green leaves marked by distinctive lime-green to yellow variegation through the centre. Each leaf develops its own pattern, creating a bright, lively display as the stems cascade from the basket.

Fast-growing and relatively easy to care for, Philodendron Brasil is an excellent choice for hanging indoors. Its long trailing stems work beautifully from shelves, hanging planters and elevated positions, while bright indirect light helps maintain the vibrant foliage colouring.

Care guide

Light: Bright, indirect light is best for maintaining strong variegation. Avoid harsh direct sunlight.
Water: Water when the top 2–3cm of the growing medium feels dry. Allow excess water to drain freely.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to normal indoor conditions.
Temperature: Best between 18–28°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
Soil: Use a loose, chunky and well-draining aroid mix with good airflow around the roots.
Feeding: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced indoor plant fertiliser.
Pruning: Trim long stems as required to encourage a fuller, bushier plant.
