Philodendron 'Congo Red' Indoor Houseplant | 8in Grow Pot; Indirect Light | Element by Altman Plants

Bring a touch of the tropics to your home or office with Philodendron Congo Red (aka Rojo Congo and Red Congo). This brilliantly colorful plant features large, glossy leaves that emerge a vibrant copper-red before maturing to a deep green, creating a beautiful contrast, with red-purple stems. Philodendron Congo Red is a visually striking, vigorously growing upright philodendron. Unlike other philos, it doesn’t trail or vine, so no need for a support stake; it’s self-heading, owing to its upright growth habit and thick stem, which give it more of a tree-like appearance. As a self-heading philo, Congo Red’s leaves grow close to each other, obscuring the main stem, which only becomes visible as older leaves drop off from the bottom. With its lush foliage and easy-to-care-for nature, this plant is a must-have for any plant enthusiast or anyone looking to add some tropical flair to their space. Philodendron Congo Red thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers its soil to be kept consistently moist. Park it within a few feet of a bright window and it should be happy. Feed in spring and summer with a houseplant fertilizer as directed. Congo Red will deal with average household humidity but certainly will appreciate a boost, so consider using a humidifier or pebble tray.
