What customers say

Know before you buy
While it can tolerate low light, the yellow variegation will be most vibrant in medium, indirect sunlight. If the plant is placed in a spot that is too dark, the new leaves may start to grow in solid green.
The 'Brasil' is a versatile vining plant that looks great either way. You can let it trail beautifully from a hanging basket or shelf, or provide a moss pole if you prefer to train it to climb upward.
This plant prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. As a general rule, wait until the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch before adding more water, as it is sensitive to being overwatered.
Yes, it is an excellent choice for beginners. Its forgiving nature and low water requirements make it very resilient, even if you occasionally forget a watering session.
It appreciates medium humidity, but it is quite adaptable to standard household conditions. If your home is particularly dry, you can mist the leaves occasionally or place it near other plants to create a more humid microclimate.
