Philodendron ‘Brasil’ (hangpot)

Philodendron hederaceum ‘Brasil’ is a colourful variegated form of the classic Heartleaf Philodendron, with glossy, heart-shaped leaves streaked and splashed with lime, golden-yellow and deep green.

This larger 15cm hanging-pot plant already has established trailing growth, making it ideal for hanging displays, high shelves and plant stands where the stems can cascade naturally. Fast-growing and forgiving, ‘Brasil’ is also easy to train upwards on a moss or coir pole if you prefer a climbing display.

Light & Position

Prefers bright, indirect or filtered light. Good light helps maintain the strongest lime and golden variegation, while plants kept in lower light may become greener and grow more slowly. Avoid prolonged strong direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.

Watering

Allow the upper 2–3cm of compost to dry before watering thoroughly, then let excess water drain away. Avoid keeping the compost permanently wet. Reduce watering slightly during winter as growth slows.

Humidity & Temperature

Philodendron ‘Brasil’ adapts well to normal household humidity and warm indoor conditions. Keep away from cold draughts and direct heat sources.

Trailing or Climbing?

Leave the removable hanger attached for an easy cascading display, or remove it and position the plant on a high shelf or plant stand. Alternatively, train the stems upwards on a moss or coir pole to encourage more upright growth and increasingly mature foliage.

Feeding

Feed approximately once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser while the plant is actively growing. Reduce or stop feeding during winter.
