Oxycardium Brasil in Honey Pot

At Planterie, we give every plant a healthy start by potting it in the right soil mix. So your plant comes healthy. If you get just a few basics right, it will thrive.

Where to keep it?

‘Brasil’ keeps its yellow-green pattern best in bright, indirect light. Too little light makes it turn greener.

• Best spot: Window Light (bright near a window, light filtered via glass/curtain).
• It can handle Away from Window Light, but growth slows and variegation may fade.
• Avoid long hours of Direct Sunlight (especially harsh afternoon sun).

How much watering?

The most common issue is soil staying wet for too long (yellowing leaves, soft stems). It likes a wet–dry rhythm.

• Touch the soil and push your finger 1 inch deep.
• If it feels even slightly moist, don’t water.
• If it feels dry, water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom.
• In summers: usually once a week
• In winters: usually once every 10–14 days (Always follow the finger-test over the calendar.)

Other care tips

• If vines get long and sparse, it usually needs more Window Light—move it closer to the window.
• Pinch the tips occasionally for a fuller, bushier look.
