Care Guide
Water roughly twice a week in warmer conditions, checking that the top inch of soil has dried out.
Provide partial to bright indirect sunlight; lower light will result in the loss of its iconic yellow stripes.
Pinch or trip the lengthy vines occasionally to encourage growth back at the top of the pot.
Common Problems & Solutions
Why is my Philodendron Brasil only growing solid green leaves?
Loss of the central neon stripe indicates the plant is in an environment that is too dark. Increase its light exposure.
Why are the leaves on my Philodendron curling down?
Curling usually points to under-watering or an intensely dry draft blowing on the plant. Check your soil's moisture.
