Philodendron Congo Rojo

The Philodendron 'Rojo Congo' is one of the most dramatic self-heading philodendrons you can grow indoors. New leaves emerge a deep, glossy burgundy-red before maturing to rich bronze-green — giving the plant a constantly evolving, multi-toned look. Upright and architectural, it fills corners and empty spaces with effortless presence.

Unlike vining philodendrons, the Rojo Congo grows from a central stem without needing a moss pole or trellis, making it one of the easiest statement plants to style in any room.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light to maintain deep color; avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; keep evenly moist, never soggy
• Soil: Well-draining aroid mix — potting soil with orchid bark and perlite works well
• Humidity & Temp: Prefers 65–80°F and moderate to high humidity
• Fertilizer: Balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer
• Growth Habit: Self-heading — grows upright from a central stem, no climbing support needed
• Pests: Watch for spider mites; wipe leaves regularly to keep them clean and healthy

⚠️ Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
