Care Plan for Philodendron hederaceum ‘Brasil’
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Strong, filtered light enhances its variegation.
Watering: Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50% or more), though it adapts well to average indoor conditions.
Temperature: Best kept between 18–27°C. Protect from temperatures below 13°C.
Soil: A well-draining mix with peat or coco coir, perlite, and orchid bark promotes healthy root growth.
Fertilising: Feed every 4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.
Pruning: Trim leggy vines to maintain a bushier appearance and encourage new growth.
Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings in water or moist soil.
