Philodendron 'Brasil'

The Philodendron Hederaceum is commonly known as the Philodendron Brasil. It's a classic, and practically no-fail houseplant because it's so easy to grow. Happily, this makes it a pretty common indoor plant that works well with all types of furniture.

NATIVE LAND: South America

WATER: once a week, keep soil evenly moist

LIGHT: Medium to bright indirect light, but can grow in low light conditions at a slower rate.

ISSUES:

• leaves yellowing/brown/black - overwatering / overloving

• leaves curling - underwatering/ plant is too cold (much like when humans cross their arms to warm up, plants sometimes curl their leaves inward as though they’re trying to “fold up” again)

PET/KID FRIENDLY: toxic to humans and pets, but best displayed as
