Hi guys! Any tips for Philo Brasil’s? I rescued a couple from the clearance section and would love to keep them going and get them thriving! (I tried to give her a little moss pole to grow up not sure how much that helps!) any tips are greatly appreciated 😊
Pretty! They like lots of indirect light and high humidity. The moss pole is probably giving the plant a humidity boost so that’s great!

1 like No problem! :) Spritzing with water doesn’t make a huge difference to humidity and can cause fungal issues unfortunately (unless you have a fan blowing on the plant) Just keep the moss pole slightly moist and that’ll increase the humidity around the plant :)
1 likeThis is a highly rewarding plant to care for. I let the top of 2-3 inches to dry out before watering. It is hanging by my SE facing window with the sun rays dappled by partially closed blinds (brighter location = more variegation). If you go the moss pole route, you’ll get bigger leaves. They are fast growers so Im sure you’ll have fun with her! Good luck!
3 likes I’m excited, it’s beautiful! The leaves just seem like they are sad sometimes so I’ll take all this into consideration! Thank you so much!
1 likeThey look great!😍 I like mine a bit more wide/bushy so I trim its long branches once every couple of months to encourage fuller growth - they are also super easy to propagate in water so you can make new plants. But that’s just an idea!
