Philodendron 'Congo Rojo'

The Congo Rojo is a unique tropical plant native to South America. This plant is different than most philodendrons as its stems will not grow in a vine like habit. The Congo Rojo is a self-header that spreads outward as it grows upward. The glossy, dark green, thick leaves are spaced very close to each other on a single stem. The stiff, barely visible stem, keeps a Philodendron Congo upright and elegant looking as it matures.

When caring for a Philodendron Congo Rojo, it is important to make sure it has the correct amount of light and water. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, and water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season and prune back any unruly stems to maintain shape.
