Care.

Philodendron scandens 'Brasil' is one of the easiest climbing plants for indoor environments.

As a young plant, it crawls along the ground until it finds something to climb, usually a tree. At this stage, it is small, can handle very little light, and has rather inconspicuous leaves. Once it finds a tree, it starts climbing upwards , attaching itself with aerial roots. From then on, it needs more light and less moisture. Only then does it develop the typical leaves of the species, which also become considerably larger.

The natural growth habit can be imitated at home with, for example, a moss pole. It can also be grown as a hanging plant in a hanging basket, but then the leaves will be smaller.

This plant likes it less wet than you might think for a species from the rainforest. The soil should never dry out completely, but it definitely shouldn't be really wet for long periods, as that can damage the roots! It's therefore better to water a little less and at least let the surface dry out between waterings. How long this takes depends on the location, pot size and even the time of year!

Replant if necessary in a well-drained soil mixture such as our aroid soil.
