Philodendron Brasil, also known as the Sweetheart Plant, or Heart-Leaf, due to its beautiful leaf shape. The plant has stunning golden-yellow variegation and will make an amazing statement plant. Fast growing and easy to care philodendron is currently climbing on a trellis but can be removed to wrap around a moss pole or let it hang from the top shelf or macrame.
This plant is a perfect hanging or climbing plant, if you are interested in adding a natural sphagnum moss pole don’t forget to check our listings in the shop.
Due to size, the plant is available only for collection from our shop.
Philodendrons would enjoy a warm spot in bright indirect light and be watered when the soil dries out. Make sure that the pot does not touch the water. They like to climb on trees so we advise providing a moss pole to encourage the plant to grow faster and produce bigger leaves. Moss poles help to maintain an adequate level of humidity as well as provide beauty and something to climb on. Mist the plant and moss pole every few days or every day during summertime.
Not pet friendly
- How often should I water my Philodendron Brasil?
- Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot is well-drained to prevent water from pooling, which could harm the plant.
- Is the Philodendron Brasil suitable for beginners?
- Absolutely! This plant is known for its easy care, making it perfect for beginners. Just provide it with bright indirect light and regular watering as needed.
- Can I use a moss pole with this plant, and how does it benefit?
- Using a moss pole is highly recommended as it mimics the plant’s natural climbing habit, encouraging faster growth and larger leaves. Moss poles also help maintain humidity around the plant, boosting its health.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Philodendron Brasil thrives in bright, indirect light. It enjoys a warm spot away from direct sunlight which can scorch its leaves. A northern or eastern facing window would be ideal to keep this beauty flourishing.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Philodendron Brasil when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the plant is well-drained and never let it sit in water as this can lead to root rot. Less water is required during the winter months.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)
This plant loves a warm environment typical of a Scottish home, ideally between 18°C and 25°C. Avoid draughty areas and sudden temperature changes to keep your Philodendron happy.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
Philodendrons enjoy a humid environment. Regular misting or a nearby humidifier can help meet its humidity needs, especially during the heating season when indoor air can get quite dry.
🪴 Repotting
Philodendron Brasil will benefit from being repotted every 2-3 years to encourage growth. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one suited for aroids, to ensure optimal health. When repotting, consider adding a moss pole to support its climbing nature.

Very happy with the product and the service, thanks 😊
Thank you so much for holding back the delivery due to it clashing with the funeral of my dear mother in law, it was truly appreciated. My wife was also taken aback by your thoughtfulness by including a lovely bouquet of dried flowers and card with kind words. The flowers will always remind us of Elaine and sit pride of place on the sideboard in our dining room. You are truthfully some of the very best people we have dealt with, online and on the phone.
