How to Plant Brasil Philodendron

Choose the Right Spot

Aim for bright, indirect sunlight. Think close to a window with sheer curtains for diffused light. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the leaves. Well-draining, airy potting mix is key. Look for a good quality indoor mix or create your own using equal parts perlite, peat moss, and regular potting mix.

Measure the Space

Brasil Philodendrons can reach 6-13 feet tall indoors, with a spread of 3-6 feet. Consider this when choosing a pot size and location. If planting multiple plants, space them 3 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Dig the Hole

Make sure the hole you dig is slightly larger than the root ball of your Brasil Philodendron. This allows for proper drainage and room for growth.

Plant It

Add a layer of well-draining soil to the bottom of the hole to create a healthy environment for your Brasil Philodendron’s roots. Carefully place the plant in the hole, ensuring the roots are spread out evenly. Backfill the hole with the remaining soil, pressing gently around the base of the plant to secure it.

Water Thoroughly

After planting, water your Brasil Philodendron thoroughly to ensure the roots are well-hydrated. Allow excess water to drain freely to prevent root rot.

Mulch and Care

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots. Water your Brasil Philodendron regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering.

Lighting

Bright, indirect sunlight is key. Think near a window with filtered light, avoiding harsh direct sun.

Watering

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Don’t drown it, but allow excess water to drain freely.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix that allows air to circulate. A mix with perlite or orchid bark is a good option.

Humidity

While it tolerates average room humidity, your plant might appreciate a humidity boost, especially in drier climates.

Temperature

Aim for warm temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizing

During spring and summer, feed your plant a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly at half-strength. Skip fertilizing in fall and winter.

Pruning

Regularly prune leggy stems or remove yellowing leaves to encourage bushier growth and maintain your desired shape.

When It Arrives

Your new plant will have been watered before shipping. Check the top inch of soil – if moist, wait until it dries a bit before watering.

During The First Year

As your plant establishes itself, water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely. Avoid letting it sit in water.

After the First Year

Watering needs can settle into a routine. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Established plants can tolerate slightly drier conditions.

Extra Tips

Use room temperature water for better absorption. Consider using a moisture meter to gauge soil moisture levels, especially for beginners.

When It Arrives

Your new plant doesn’t need fertilizer yet. It’s focusing on adjusting to its new environment.

During The First Year

Focus on establishing a healthy root system and proper watering routine. Skip fertilizing during the first year.

After The First Year

During spring and summer (growing seasons), fertilize your Brasil Philodendron once a month with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

Extra Tips

Dilute your chosen fertilizer to half-strength to avoid overfeeding. Less is always more with Philodendrons. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when your plant enters dormancy.

Required Tools

Sharp pruners or shears that have been disinfected with rubbing alcohol.

Pruning Steps

Identify leggy stems, brown leaves, or areas that need shaping. Cut just above a leaf node (the bump where a new leaf grows) at a 45-degree angle.

After Pruning Care

Water your plant well after pruning to encourage new growth. You can also use the cuttings for propagation to create new Brasil Philodendron plants!

Extra Pruning Techniques Tips

Regularly pinch off new growth at the tips to promote bushier foliage. For a fuller look, prune multiple stems at different points on the vine.
