Philodendron Congo Rojo Rooted

Philodendron Congo Rojo stands out with its deep burgundy leaves and sturdy stems.

Light Requirements

Place in bright, indirect light. Lower light reduces the rich color, while too much sun can scorch the leaves.

Watering

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure excess water drains away to prevent root rot.

Soil

A chunky, well draining mix of potting soil, bark, and perlite supports robust growth.

Humidity and Temperature

Moderate to high humidity keeps the leaves glossy. Occasional misting helps maintain moisture.

Growth Habits

Congo Rojo grows upright and bushy. It doesn’t t require a stake but will benefit from occasional pruning to maintain shape.

Pet Safety

As with other philodendrons, it is toxic if ingested.

My Personal Tip

Keep it away from drafty areas and wipe the leaves to showcase their deep color.
