Philodendron Scandens Brasil 6cm

🌿 Philodendron Scandens ‘Brasil’ Care Guide

The Brasil is a vibrant twist on the classic Heartleaf Philodendron, with bold green leaves splashed with sunny yellow variegation. Fast-growing, trailing, and super easygoing, it’s the perfect plant for adding a burst of color to shelves, hanging baskets, or anywhere you want instant jungle vibes.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light for the best variegation

• Tolerates medium to lower light, but colors may fade

• Avoid long hours of direct sun, which can scorch the leaves

💧 Water

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry

• Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy

• More tolerant of a missed watering than being overwatered

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers medium humidity, but does fine in average homes

• Occasional misting or clustering with other plants helps it thrive

🍽️ Feeding

• Balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

• Little to no feeding needed in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Trim vines to encourage bushier growth

• Easily propagated from cuttings—great for sharing with friends

• Not pet-safe—keep out of reach of cats and dogs
