Product Snapshot
A classic heart-leaf philodendron with a sunny twist, Philodendron hederaceum ‘Brasil’ threads a bright chartreuse brushstroke across deep, jungle-green leaves. The result is cheerful, graphic foliage that reads lively from a distance and painterly up close. This cultivar is wonderfully adaptable: let it trail for a soft, cascading ribbon of color, or guide a few vines up a slim trellis for a tidy column that frames shelves, mirrors, or a window edge. Because the variegation sits along the midrib and splashes outward, every leaf feels a little different—some show lemon-lime stripes, others broad cream panels over mossy green. ‘Brasil’ stays forgiving under routine indoor conditions, making it a go-to for brightening workspaces, bedrooms, and entry nooks without fuss.

Key Specs

• Botanical: Philodendron hederaceum ‘Brasil’ (Araceae)
• Habit: versatile vining aroid—trails elegantly or climbs with light support
• Foliage: cordate (heart-shaped) blades with lime/chartreuse striping and creamy highlights over emerald base; satin finish with a gentle sheen
• Scale: with guidance, vines commonly reach ~45–150 cm (18–59 in) over time; leaf size increases modestly in brighter zones
• Pet guidance: as with many aroids, keep foliage away from nibblers

Placement Ideas

• Trailing display: Stage on a bookshelf edge or plant stand and let vines cascade 60–120 cm for a relaxed, layered look. Angle side light across the canopy so the lime stripes glow and shadows create depth.
• Climbing accent: Add a slim moss pole, coco totem, or wire trellis in a tall planter. Training tightens internodes and keeps the silhouette neat for small spaces.
• Color pairing: Use sand, ecru, or charcoal planters to frame the green-and-gold palette. Limewash walls, pale timber, or microcement backdrops help the variegation read from across the room.
• Mix & match: Pair with a velvety Anthurium or matte-leaf Scindapsus to balance texture—glossy, variegated hearts against soft or smoky foliage.

Care At-a-Glance

• Light: Bright, diffused daylight is ideal (east exposure or any luminous spot behind sheers). ‘Brasil’ tolerates medium light, but steady brightness preserves crisp variegation and fuller growth. Avoid prolonged, harsh midday sun on pale tissue.
• Water: When the top 2–3 cm (≈1 in) of mix feels dry, water thoroughly and allow full drainage. Consistent, even moisture keeps margins clean and growth steady; avoid extremes (chronically soggy or bone-dry).
• Substrate: Oxygen-forward aroid blend—chunky orchid bark + coco fiber/coir + pumice/perlite, with a modest sphagnum buffer. Air first, gentle moisture second.
• Climate: Comfortable home range suits it well (~18–29 °C / 65–85 °F; ~45–65% RH). Gentle airflow helps foliage stay fresh; keep away from AC blasts or heater vents.
• Feeding: Light nutrition (¼–½ strength) during active months supports color clarity and steady leaf size; prioritize light quality before extra fertilizer.
• Grooming & training: Tip-prune to encourage branching and a denser crown; re-root soft cuttings to thicken the pot if desired. Rotate a quarter-turn every two weeks for balanced development and even coloration.

Troubleshooting Quick Read

• Faded striping or long gaps: Increase overall luminance (still filtered); guide vines closer to the light source.
• Brown tips/edges: Often late watering or very dry air—tighten cadence and consider a slight humidity bump.
• Yellowing lower leaves: Usually overwatering or a dense mix; let the top layer dry to the trigger and increase bark/pumice for aeration.
