Philodendron 'Brasil' – Tropical Trailing Beauty with Bold Variegation

The Philodendron 'Brasil' (Philodendron hederaceum 'Brasil') is a vibrant and fast-growing vining houseplant with eye-catching variegated foliage.

How to Care for Your Philodendron 'Brasil'

Place your 'Brasil' in a well-lit spot with indirect sunlight to help maintain its vivid leaf variegation. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Use a rich, well-draining potting mix and water when the soil feels dry to the touch. Consistent care and proper drainage are key to lush, trailing growth.

This plant thrives in typical household temperatures and humidity. Feed once a month in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertilizer to encourage fuller vines and bright new leaves. Prune regularly to control length or propagate cuttings, which root easily in water or soil.
