Philodendron 'Congo Rojo'

The Philodendron 'Congo Rojo' brings a stunning splash of deep burgundy and rich emerald right into your living room with its glossy, self-heading leaves that naturally unfurl in breathtaking shades of bronze-red. You will want this resilient tropical beauty in your home because it offers the bold, dramatic presence of a greenhouse showstopper while remaining wonderfully cooperative for the everyday indoor gardener. Standing a stately two to three feet tall and just as wide, it makes a magnificent statement on an entryway floor or tucked into a bright corner that needs a lively spark. If you share your home with curious furry friends, you must plan your placement carefully; like many popular tropical aroids, this vibrant philodendron is toxic to cats and dogs, so keeping it elevated on a sturdy plant stand is the best way to keep your pets safe and happy.

To keep those magnificent red-toned leaves shining brightly, place your philodendron in a room that receives medium to bright indirect sunlight, keeping it away from harsh, direct rays that can scorch the foliage. When it is time to water, let patience guide your routine by allowing the top two inches of the potting soil to dry out completely before giving the plant a thorough soak, always ensuring your decorative container drains fully so the roots never sit in standing water. Wiping down the broad leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks clears away household dust and helps the plant breathe easily, rewarding you with steady, gorgeous growth all year long.
