4" Philodendron Cordatum Brasil (Philodendron hederaceum 'Brasil')

$12.99

Philodendron 'Brasil' (Philodendron hederaceum 'Brasil') is a popular houseplant known for its striking variegated leaves with bright green and yellow streaks. It is relatively easy to care for and can adapt to a variety of indoor conditions. Here are detailed care instructions to help your Philodendron 'Brasil' thrive:

 Light
- Bright, indirect light: Philodendron 'Brasil' prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may lose some of its variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

 Watering
- Moderate watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Water thoroughly, allowing the excess water to drain out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
- Less frequent watering in winter: During the winter months, water less frequently as the plant's growth slows.

 Soil
- Well-draining soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a combination of potting soil, perlite, and peat moss works well.

 Temperature and Humidity
- Moderate temperatures: Ideal temperatures range from 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
- Average to high humidity: Philodendron 'Brasil' thrives in higher humidity but can adapt to average indoor humidity. Increase humidity by misting the plant regularly, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier nearby.

Fertilizing
- Regular feeding: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the plant every 4-6 weeks with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.

Pruning
- Regular pruning: Prune to remove any dead or yellowing leaves and to control the plant's size and shape. Pruning encourages bushier growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.

Repotting
- Repot every 1-2 years: Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and refresh the soil.

Support
- Climbing support: Philodendron 'Brasil' is a vining plant that benefits from support. Use a moss pole, trellis, or stake to support its growth and encourage larger leaves.

Propagation
- Stem cuttings: Philodendron 'Brasil' is easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and a few leaves, place it in water or directly into soil, and keep it in bright, indirect light until roots develop.

Pests and Problems
- Common pests: Watch for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Yellowing leaves: This can be a sign of overwatering, poor drainage, or nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture levels and drainage, and adjust watering and feeding schedules accordingly.
- Leggy growth: If the plant becomes leggy, it may be due to insufficient light. Move it to a brighter location or prune it to encourage bushier growth.

By following these care instructions, your Philodendron 'Brasil' should remain healthy and vibrant, adding a touch of greenery and bright color to your indoor space.
