Philodendron hederaceum 'Brasil' (sold as Philodendron scandens) · also known as Philodendron Brasil, heartleaf philodendron, sweetheart plant
Native to Central and South America and the Caribbean (species)
A colourful form of the classic heartleaf Philodendron, with lime and yellow stripes through dark green leaves. It trails or climbs and grows quickly in good light.
- A Philodendron Brasil in a 12cm grow pot, ready to trail from a shelf or climb a small pole.
- Each dark green heart-shaped leaf carries a bright lime and yellow stripe down the middle.

Where it thrives
The best spot in your home
Medium to bright indirect light, near a north-facing window behind a sheer curtain or a bright south-facing one. It tolerates lower light, but give it a brighter spell now and then to keep the stripes bold.
Safety: Keep away from pets and kids.
