Native habitat and growth pattern
Philodendron Scandens Brasil originates from the tropical rainforests of South America. In its native habitat, it uses aerial roots to climb trees, seeking light beneath the canopy. Indoors, it adapts brilliantly, trailing or climbing with ease. With minimal care, Philodendron Scandens Brasil will quickly establish long, vibrant vines that bring the lush feel of the jungle into your living space.

Philodendron Scandens Brasil care guide

Light requirements:
Philodendron Scandens Brasil thrives in bright, indirect light but is adaptable and will also tolerate partial shade. Avoid prolonged direct sun as this can scorch its leaves.

Watering:
Water when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in water.

Feeding:
Feed Philodendron Scandens Brasil once a month during spring and summer. Our vegan, organic Original Plant Food, made from sustainably harvested seaweed, is the perfect choice to encourage strong growth and vibrant foliage.

Humidity:
Adapts well to normal household humidity but appreciates a little extra misting or being placed near other plants.

Pet safety:
Best kept out of reach of cats and dogs, as it can cause tummy upsets if nibbled.
