Background
Philodendron Brasil is a hardy, brightly colored climbing plant from South America. Each variegated leaf is unique, with bright green and yellow colors, unlike the Rio's green, white, and silver. The Brasil has rounded heart-shaped leaves, while the Rio's are elongated. Both are rare and stunning additions to any space.

Plant Care
The Philodendron Brasil is an easy houseplant that thrives in bright, indirect light. Use well-draining soil and water when the top inch is dry, about once a week in spring and summer, and every two weeks in fall and winter. Fertilize monthly during the growing season and bimonthly in the off-season.

Tips
Prune your Philodendron Brasil to stimulate new growth, especially if it becomes 'leggy', ensuring to sterilize your tools first. Remove drying leaves to maintain health, and water regularly, avoiding overwatering to prevent fungal infections. Repot annually or every two years in spring to reduce stress.
