Brazil Pothos

Brazil Pothos — Variegated Aroid Vine

About the Plant
The Brazil Pothos (Philodendron hederaceum ‘Brasil’) is a vibrant and fast-growing vining plant prized for its striking variegation. Its heart-shaped leaves are splashed with bold lime green and chartreuse streaks that run down the center, contrasted against deep emerald-green edges. The bright, almost neon striping gives this plant a tropical flair, making it a lively addition to any indoor collection. Easy to grow and maintain, Brazil Pothos thrives in a wide range of household conditions and is perfect for hanging baskets, trailing from shelves, or climbing supports.

Growth Habit

Type: Evergreen tropical vine.

Mature Size: Indoors, vines may trail 6–10 feet or more with proper care.

Care & Cultivation

Light: Best in bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation. Can tolerate lower light, though leaves may revert to greener tones. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch foliage.
