Philodendron cf. squamicaule ‘Black/Red’ is a striking species from Ecuador, prized for its deep, glossy blackish-green upper leaves and rich red undersides. Its fuzzy red petioles add to its distinctive appearance, though it is a slower grower so patience is key here.

How to care for your Philodendron–

Water:Let the soil become dry between waterings, if your leaves droop this means your philodendron is not getting enough water.

Light:Allow your philodendron to get plenty of bright, but indirect sunlight, too much and leaves can turn yellow.

Humidity:They can survive in a low humidity environment, but it will thrive with a higher humidity level. Mist the leaves regularly.

Temperature:They like to be in a warmer spot about 18 degrees C.
