Rojo Congo Philodendron

Philodendron “Rojo Congo” is a unique cultivar hybridized in Florida, in keeping with the growing trend amongst home gardeners for tropical aroids suitable for indoor growing. They are very attractive plants adding a touch of luxury, and a dash of the exotic to the indoor space.

Philodendron “Rojo Congo” is a cross between Philodendron ”Imperial Red” and Philodendron Tatei. It is a self-supporting self header so you won’t have to support this plant with stakes or add an ungainly moss pole to creep on. It stands in a lovely rosette formation with its erect oval leaves of burgundy green color.

Light: The Rojo Congo Philodendron will thrive in bright, indirect light but will be perfectly fine in extremely low levels of sunlight as well. Avoid placing her in direct sun, as the rays can scorch the leaves.

Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry. Water moderately and regularly so that the soil is consistently moist, but not soggy. Clean the leaves occasionally by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth.

The sap of this plant may cause irrirtation to skin. If ingested, may cause a harmful reaction in pets.
