The Rojo Congo Philo is species of philodendrons, a very large genus of plants which has more than 500 species categorized under family araceae.This beauty is a cross between the beloved Imperial Red and Tatei.

Like many variants of the classic Philodendron houseplant, new growth appears as a striking accent, and the Rojo Congo sports a striking red stem with a burnt orange/green gradient on new growth as it hardens.

Care

Light: Philodendrons do well in a range of light conditions. They prefer moderate to bright indirect light, but can tolerate shadier lighting conditions as well. Avoid direct sunight.

Water:Keep the soil moist at all times. Allow the top of the soil to dry out slightly before re-watering. Will tolerate some degree of drought better than having its roots too wet.

Temperature/Humidity:Average to warm household temperatures from 18-28C and short periods down to 12C at an absolute push. Avoid cold draughts. Comfortable in average household humidity.

Care Tips:Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. Please note, leaves can develop yellow patches after a change in temperature or environment. These can be removed at the base of the stem if required

Philodendrons were part of NASA clean air study and found effective in improving indoor air quality by removing formaldehyde.
