Description Image Info Sustainability

Philodendron scandens 'Brasil' is a colorful variant of the popular heartleaf philodendron. Its decorative yellow-green leaf pattern resembles the Brazilian flag – hence the name. Thanks to its undemanding nature and elegant growth, this tropical beauty is perfect for shelves, hanging planters, or climbing supports.

Characteristics:

The heart-shaped leaves are bicolored – a rich dark green is interspersed with bright yellow to lime green stripes. The pattern is unique to each leaf. The plant grows quickly with long, flexible stems that can either hang or climb. A real eye-catcher in modern living spaces or urban jungle arrangements.

Care instructions:

Light: Bright to semi-shade – the more light (without direct sunlight), the stronger the coloring
Water: Water moderately, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings
Humidity: Average – does well in normal room conditions
Fertilizer: In spring and summer, 1–2 times a month with a diluted houseplant fertilizer
Temperature: Ideal at 18–26 °C, not below 15 °C

Note: The sturdy, colorful stems can easily be propagated by cuttings. Occasional pruning encourages bushier growth. Ideal as a hanging plant or for decorative plant combinations with other variegated species.

Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.

Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.

Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.

In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.

Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
