Plant Highlights: Heart-shaped variegated foliage • Cascading or climbing growth • Easy-care tropical houseplant • Bright green and golden-yellow leaf markings

Overview

Philodendron hederaceum 'Brasil' is a popular trailing houseplant, prized for its glossy heart-shaped leaves splashed with vibrant shades of green and golden-yellow. Each leaf has its own unique pattern, giving the plant a lively, ever-changing appearance throughout the year.

Supplied in a hanging pot, its trailing stems create an attractive cascading display from shelves or hanging baskets. It can also be trained to climb a moss pole or support, where the leaves may become larger as the plant matures.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Light

Position in bright, indirect light to maintain the best leaf colour and variegation. It will tolerate moderate light, but slower growth and less vibrant markings may result. Avoid prolonged direct midday sun.

Watering

Water thoroughly when the top layer of compost has dried slightly. Allow excess water to drain away completely and avoid leaving the plant standing in water.

Humidity

Average household humidity is suitable, although slightly higher humidity encourages lush growth. Keep away from cold draughts and direct heat sources.

Routine Care

Trim stems occasionally to encourage bushier growth or allow them to trail naturally. Wipe the leaves clean from time to time to keep them glossy and free from dust. Repot when the roots begin to fill the container.

Indoor Placement

Perfect for bright living rooms, bedrooms, home offices and conservatories. Display from a hanging planter or elevated shelf where the cascading stems can be fully appreciated.

Good to Know

Like other philodendrons, this plant contains calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept out of reach of children and pets. Wear gloves if pruning or handling broken stems if you have sensitive skin.
