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.

Almost a home run
Size: 1.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Original
Initially I really loved how this sunscreen made my skin look. The tint provided enough coverage to even my skin tone and hide my remaining melasma. It gives a very nice glow that doesn’t look too greasy. I have dry skin, and this was moisturizing enough for summer; although I would probably need a moisturizer first in winter. After using this product for many weeks however, I realized that it leaves residue on my hair making it feel chalky and dry. I’ve tried different techniques of washing my hands really well after so I don’t spread residue to my hair when I fix it, but I found it still made it’s way into my bangs. I even tried pulling my hair back and wait an hour before putting it down but inevitably my hair got this dirty chalky feel to it. It makes me feel dirty which is enough to deter me from wanting to use it exclusively. I wanted to use a tinted physical sunscreen to stop the pigmentation to my melasma, but I just prefer how chemical sunscreens feel. I started to use this over my cheekbones after I apply my chemical sunscreen to help deflect blue light, but I think going forward I’ll just purchase a more affordable option if it is going to be used on such a small area.

Great option for a natural finished look
Size: 1.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Original, Size: 1.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Original
I have been using Colorscience Total Protection Face Shield SPF 50 Original color for over 5 years. I love that the color blends with your skin so well and provides a natural looking finish. It does not cover all of my dark spots or defects, but it makes my natural skin look better. The finish is soft and silky and the 50 helps protect my skin from additional sun damage. If you are looking for a more natural finish, this is a great choice.

Made my blush look orangey
Size: 1.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Original
I absolutely loved the feel and finish of this tinted sunscreen, but with or without my foundation on top of it, my Benefit Dandelion blush went from pink to a shade of orange. I have fair skin, blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair, which at this time of year is more strawberry than blonde. The orangey shade is definitely not my color. I was sad that this didn't work out, because the Colorscience made my skin look radiant really, until an hour or so after blush was applied. I so wanted a replacement for the Australian Gold Mineral sunscreen in original tint, because even though that tint looks great color-wise, it also makes my skin look dry and therefore accentuates my wrinkles, even when I mix it with Olay microsculpting cream moisturizer before I apply it. The Colorscience didn't accentuate the wrinkles. I feel certain this color issue is either a conflict with my Olay moisturizer, my own chemistry or the Benefit blush; maybe a combination of the three. If you have oily skin this sunscreen is moisturizing so it might not work for you. Otherwise, you may want to give this a try. Hate that I had to return it. No matter what, I've had a run-in with skin cancer, so I won't go without spf. I just have to keep looking ancient and dry with AG until I find one that works better for my coloring, skin type, and that plays well with my moisturizer and blush. I'm 62 yrs young, normal to dry combo skin. Hope this helps!
