Soil Type
Water: Philodendron 'Brasil' thrives in a moist environment, requiring thorough watering three times a week and regular misting. Watering should occur in the early morning, with residual water on leaves wiped off to prevent burns and germs. Use rainwater or distilled water, avoiding tap water with minerals.
Fertilize: Philodendron 'Brasil' thrives with regular fertilization. Add slow-release fertilizer during annual repotting and apply a diluted liquid fertilizer bi-weekly. Suspend watering one day before fertilization and rinse leaves with clean water two hours post-fertilization to prevent leaf damage.
Pruning: Philodendron 'Brasil' features attractive variegated leaves. To promote bushiness, prune in early to late spring using sharp, sterilized tools above leaf nodes. Regularly remove dead or yellow leaves to maintain health and prevent legginess, enhancing the overall aesthetics of philodendron 'Brasil'.
Propagation: Philodendron 'Brasil' should be divided when repotting if too dense, ideally into 2-3 clusters per pot. Division is recommended every 3 years to prevent growth issues caused by neglecting separation.
