Philodendron Brasil Silver Stripe #1

The Philodendron Brasil Silver Stripe is a stunning fast-growing, low-maintenance trailing variety within the Philodendron family.  Its silver variegation make the leaves even more blinding than the regular yellow/green variegation of the regular Brasil. 

The Philodendron Brasil requires birght, indirect light. Exposing it to direct light can cause sunburn to the leaves. Too little light can cause the variegation to revert. 

Philodendrons like their top 3-5 centimeters (or 25-30%) of soil to dry out before watering it again. They like their soil to stay moist, but sitting in soaked soil too long can cause root rot. We prefer to use clear container pots so we can monitor the soil en roots. 

The Philodendron Brasil will thrive in a roomhumidity between 50-80% and a consistent roomtemperture between 21°C and 27°C.

During the growing season (spring and summer) the plant would appreciate to be fed with a (liquid) fertilizer every 2-4 weeks. During the winter dormancy period the plant does not need to be fertilized (or it should be heavily diluted).
