Comments: Philodendron 'Brasil' or Philodendron is a tropical
evergreen perennial with a climbing growth habit. It is easily
propagated from cuttings or layerings. Philodendron 'Brasil' is low maintenance and carefree.
It has nice glossy variegated foliage. I
notice that the variegation differs in every leaf.
Philodendron 'Brasil' thrives well in light shade and loves humidity so
mist it often in the Summer. Philodendron 'Brasil' can be cultivated in
a container. Grow it as a
filter plant in an aquarium for the home as it helps to remove nitrate.
Allow it to climb up an arbor or trellis to show off its eye-catching
foliage. Philodendron 'Brasil' makes an ideal hanging basket
plant. In colder areas, bring plant indoors for the Winter.
