Philodendron Brasil takes the easygoing heart-leaf philodendron and paints a bold lime-and-chartreuse stripe down the center of each green leaf. The vines trail from a hanging basket or climb a moss pole, and every new leaf unrolls with its own variation on the pattern.

It is as forgiving as houseplants get. Bright, indirect light keeps the variegation strong, though it tolerates medium light. Let the top inch or two of soil dry between waterings, keep it out of direct sun and cold drafts, and trim any time to encourage fullness.
