The colors of the Brazilian flag
This cultivar of Philodendron hederaceum bears a yellow-green central band that varies on each leaf, recalling the colors of Brazil from which it takes its name.
A vigorous vine, it produces several meters of stems per season and withstands far harsher conditions than its delicate look suggests.
"No leaf of the Brasil looks like the one before it."
