New philo !  
I got this baby about a day ago and she is so pretty I love her ! She is getting lots of top sun and I repotted her (she was root bound a bit ) and she is doing great !  
Any tips ?

I don’t have a philodendron Brazil but I do have other types of philodendron.

For mien I like to make sure their soil is very chunky (which I think it already is from the image) and they’re getting very good drainage.

Another thing I’ve noticed is that they grow very quickly and die very quickly too. So make sure to notice any changes before it becomes too late.

Hope this helps!
