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.

Great Chew Toy for Daily Play
Size: 6 in, Color: Blue, Size: 6 in, Color: Blue
My dog absolutely loves this toy. From the first moment he grabbed it, he wouldn’t stop playing with it. He chews on it, runs around with it, and even sleeps with it sometimes. What I like most is how durable it is — even with constant biting, pulling, and chewing, it hasn’t broken or shown any damage. The material feels strong but still safe for him to chew. The texture also seems to keep him entertained because it massages his gums while he plays. It’s lightweight, easy for him to carry, and the shape makes it fun for both chewing and tossing. This toy has become one of his favorites, and I’m really happy with the quality. I would definitely recommend it for dogs who love to chew.

Great toy!
Color: Grass Green, Size: Medium
We have a boxer and pit mix and he destroys everything. This toy however lasted the longest. He played with this every day and he plays very rough. But after 3 months I finally threw it out. It was still in tact but it was about to start falling apart. I will definitely buy another one.

Great for aggressive chewers!
Color: Mixed, Size: Medium
My dachshund pit mix is VERY hard on toys. She is a very aggressive chewer. She loves this toy and so far hasn't destroyed it! I was concerned because the center is softer, but because of the shape she is unable to get a good grip on it to chew it to pieces. Very happy with it so far!
