Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium 'Brasil'

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium 'Brasil' is a green-and-lime heartleaf Philodendron with irregular yellow-green streaking through the leaf centre. The leaves are cordate at the base, pointed at the tip and arranged along long flexible stems that can trail, cascade or climb with support.

New growth can show reddish to orange tones on young stems and petioles before maturing greener. The leaf pattern varies naturally: some leaves carry a narrow central flash, while others show broader yellow-green sections across the midrib area.

Philodendron 'Brasil' lime flashes through dark green heart leaves

  • Dark green heart-shaped leaves with irregular yellow-green to lime central variegation.
  • Young stems and petioles can show reddish to orange tones before maturing greener.
  • Elongated leaf tips give the foliage a sharper outline.
  • Irregular central streaking varies naturally from leaf to leaf.
  • Multiple rooted stems in one pot create a fuller cascade of patterned leaves.

Philodendron 'Brasil' as a Holambra selection

Philodendron 'Brasil' was selected in Holambra, Brazil, in 1991 from a naturally occurring mutation of a heartleaf Philodendron. Its green and yellow-green variegated leaves, elongated tips and reddish young stems define the cultivar.

The vine branches from nodes after pruning and can become dense when several cuttings are grown together. A vine that repeatedly produces plain green leaves can be cut back to a stronger patterned node to keep the leaf pattern balanced.

Growing Philodendron 'Brasil' with clear colour and tight internodes

  • Light: Give bright indirect light for shorter internodes; hot direct sun can scorch pale sections of the leaves.
  • Watering: Let the upper 25–35% of the mix dry before watering again, then drain the pot fully so the fleshy roots do not sit wet.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, perlite or pumice and a modest moisture-holding component.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm, preferably 18–27°C, with no cold draughts around hanging baskets or shelves.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity is enough for routine growth; steadier humidity can help fast-growing vines unfurl with fewer curled tips.
  • Training: A pole or trellis gives older stems contact and can encourage larger, neater leaves on established growth.
  • Pruning: Trim long bare vines above a node to encourage branching and use the cuttings for propagation.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser diluted below full strength.
  • Repotting: Repot when the roots have filled the container or watering dries the mix unusually quickly.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings root readily when each cutting includes at least one node and a healthy leaf.
  • Mineral substrates: It can adapt to airy semi-hydro or mineral substrates if the roots are transitioned gradually and kept oxygenated.

Philodendron 'Brasil' green reversions, scorch and pests

  • Plain green sections: Cut back repeated green growth to a patterned node to keep the variegation balanced.
  • Scorched pale areas: Move the plant away from direct sun; pale tissue can mark quickly in hot light.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the pot has stayed wet too long, especially in cooler months or dense soil.
  • Thin, stretched vines: Increase indirect light or give the stems support so the leaves sit closer together.
  • Sticky residue or distorted tips: Inspect new growth and stem nodes for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale before they spread along the vine.

Philodendron 'Brasil' pet safety

Philodendron 'Brasil' is not pet-safe if eaten. Its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth and digestive tract, so place it out of reach of pets that bite leaves or stems.

Philodendron 'Brasil' published name and Holambra cultivar origin

The botanical background sits under Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium, published as Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium (Schott) Croat in World Checklist and Bibliography of Araceae in 2002. The variety is based on the earlier name Philodendron oxycardium Schott. Philodendron means tree-loving, hederaceum refers to ivy-like growth, and oxycardium describes the sharply heart-shaped leaf blade. The cultivar Philodendron 'Brasil' was selected in Holambra, Brazil, from a naturally occurring variegated mutation and is grown for its lime-yellow central patterning and reddish young growth.

Philodendron 'Brasil' brings fast heartleaf growth, flexible trailing stems and lime-patterned leaves that vary naturally from node to node.

Very well-made, nice valet, solid wood with a silicone surface
I really do love this white BROWN wooden valet Tray. It has taken it place right next to my bed on my nightstand. Currently it contains a flashlight, my watch charger, earbuds, remote control, and a walkie-talkie. They all fit perfectly, it really keeps my stand, neat and clean looking. I like these trays because they look so much better than things just laying randomly across your nightstand. It saves things from rolling off to the back of the nightstand against the wall, where I have to flex like an acrobat to reach them. These are perfect for any works surface as well. These would be welcome in the shop. I'm sure they would be great for a teacher, a kitchen a professional at their desk. Just about anywhere you need to put small items and store them temporarily. One of the best things about it is that the bottom or at least the inside surface where you place items is not wooden. It appears to be some type of a silicone so you don't hear that wood sound when you drop things into it. It's soft and things don't roll or slide. It holds them in place exactly where you put them. The bottom came with four felt pads that you can stick on the bottom before you put it on your nightstand or wherever you're putting it. Keeps it from scratching any wooden surfaces. It has a nice rounded edges are very clean dark wood look and a great silicone mat on the inside, this is perfect for your nightstand. I really do enjoy it. Comedy no assembly required. It's well-made and it's a sturdy piece of wood. I highly recommend it.

Holds hubs personal items nicely.
This is a decent sized wooden tray for the price. The manufacturer took care to package this nicely so it was not damaged in transit. All the material used on this tray seem to be pretty decent. The color is very versitile. The wood feels durable and not a soft wood that would easily scratch or dent. The faux leather lining is very nice and makes it quiet when hubs puts his keys down. This tray comes with 4 feet which one must apply by simply peeling the release paper and sticking to the bottom of the tray. This is nice so the tray does not scratch the night stand. Honestly, this tray is very versitile as this can definately be used on an end table in the office or in the bathroom to corral items on the counter top. This is a decent product at a very fair price.

Beautiful and Functional Desk Upgrade

I absolutely love this Pink Marble Mouse Pad with 15W Wireless Charging. The design is beautiful, soft, and feminine without being too much, and it instantly makes my desk look more polished and organized. The large size is perfect because it gives me plenty of room for my keyboard, mouse, notebook, and other desk essentials while still keeping everything looking neat. The wireless charging feature is such a convenient bonus. I love being able to place my phone down and charge it while I work without having extra cords everywhere. The surface is smooth, my mouse glides easily, and the pad feels comfortable during long hours at my desk. Overall, this is a great mix of style and function. It is perfect for a home office, gaming setup, content creation space, or anyone who wants their desk to look cute and stay practical. Highly recommend!

Works Well and Good Quality
Color: Black-Stock Market-31.5"x15.8"(with Wall Charger)
The recharging feature works well for both phone and earbuds. Phone charges very fast. Great looking mousepad that has ample size for both keyboard and mouse. Mouse moves easily on the surface and is much better than using it solely on a tabletop. Great price too!
