Philodendron 'Brasil' Trailing Houseplant with Yellow and Green Variegation for Shelves and Hanging Planters
Philodendron 'Brasil' brings yellow and green streaks to heartleaf foliage, adding lively color as its vines trail from a shelf or hanging planter. Each leaf has its own pattern, so the variegation gives the growing plant a naturally varied appearance.
This easy-care houseplant also lends itself to climbing when trained. Give it medium to bright, indirect light, with brighter indirect light helping maintain stronger variegation. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; it prefers moderate humidity and adapts well indoors.
