Botanical Name: Philodendron 'Brasil'

Common Name(s): Brasil Philodendron

Philodendron Brasil is a vibrant, fast-growing variety known for its striking heart-shaped leaves that feature bold, variegated patterns. The leaves are deep green with bright yellow or golden streaks, creating a lively and tropical appearance. This climbing or trailing plant is an easy-care option, typically growing to around 2-3 feet tall and spreading as a lush groundcover or climbing vine, making it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a floor plant.

Philodendron Brasil thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances the brightness of its variegated leaves. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering should be avoided, as this can lead to root rot. Brasil Philodendron enjoys higher humidity but will also tolerate average indoor humidity levels. Like most Philodendrons, it can adapt to a variety of conditions and is perfect for beginners.

Air Purifying Qualities:

• Toxin Removal: Philodendron Brasil is effective at removing indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene, helping to improve air quality in your home.
• Oxygen Production: As with other Philodendrons, Brasil absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, helping to freshen the air in your living space.
• Humidity Regulation: Brasil Philodendron also contributes to indoor humidity regulation by releasing moisture through transpiration, making it a great choice for creating a more comfortable environment, especially in dry spaces.

Note: Philodendron Brasil is toxic to pets (cats and dogs) if ingested, so it should be kept out of reach of curious animals. Always monitor pets to ensure they don't chew on the leaves.
