Description

The Philodendron Scandens Brasil is a playful and vibrant houseplant that instantly brightens up your interior. Her heart-shaped leaves are deep green with a bold yellow stripe down the center — as if someone brushed on a sunny stroke of paint. Each leaf is different, giving her a dynamic and cheerful look. She’s a true eye-catcher, without being loud.

This plant is a natural climber, but she also looks stunning when trailing. Her long vines grow steadily and form a lush green waterfall when placed in a hanging pot. In her native habitat, she climbs trees in the rainforests of Central and South America. Thanks to her aerial roots, she clings to anything she encounters — a true adventurer in your living room.

The name ‘Brasil’ refers to her tropical flair and vibrant colors. Despite her exotic appearance, she’s surprisingly easy-going. She adapts well to different conditions, making her ideal for beginner plant lovers. Whether you’re building an urban jungle or simply want a splash of color — Scandens Brasil is always a great choice.

Care tips

Scandens Brasil loves light, but not direct sunlight. Place her in partial shade or filtered light — for example, behind a curtain or on a shelf a few meters from the window. The more light she gets, the brighter her yellow stripes become — sometimes even neon green! But be careful: direct sun can scorch and dry out her leaves.

When it comes to watering: keep the soil lightly moist, especially in spring and summer. Let the top layer dry out slightly between waterings. In winter, she can easily go a week without water. Always check with your fingers — if the soil still feels moist, skip watering. Too much water can lead to root rot, so make sure her pot has good drainage.

She adores high humidity, so a weekly misting with a spray bottle works wonders. It not only helps against dust but also keeps pests at bay. Repot her every two to three years, preferably during the growing season. Use a light potting mix and feed her every two weeks in spring and summer with liquid fertilizer. That way, she’ll stay strong, colorful, and full of life.
