Size: 6" Pot
DESCRIPTION
Philodendron 'Congo Rojo' is a magnificent tropical plant, native to the rainforests of South America. True to its name, which translates to "red Congo", this stunner showcases large, glossy leaves in a rich, burgundy hue. The leaves emerge as a vibrant red, gradually transitioning to a deep, dark green as they mature. This unique colour palette gives the plant an eye-catching, two-toned appearance. The 'Congo Rojo' can reach up to 2 feet in height and width, making it an impressive focal point in any indoor setting. The plant's compact, clumping growth habit means it will not sprawl outwards, but rather, it will grow upwards, creating a dense canopy of foliage. This makes it a perfect candidate for indoor gardens or as a standalone feature in your living room or office. Its robust nature also allows it to adapt to a variety of light conditions, although it prefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth. The 'Congo Rojo' is not a fast grower, but it is consistent, and with patience, you will be rewarded with a lush, vibrant plant that brings a touch of the tropics to your indoor space. When given the chance, it may begin to develop aerial roots, which are roots that grow above the ground. This feature adds to its jungle-like charm and can be used to train the plant to climb, or to simply create an interesting visual effect. But the Philodendron 'Congo Rojo' doesn't stop there. Adding to its captivating foliage, this tropical beauty will occasionally produce white, spadix-type flowers, surrounded by a green, leaf-like bract, known as a spathe. These flowers are rare in indoor settings but when they do appear, they create an exciting spectacle. In short, the Philodendron 'Congo Rojo' is an enchanting houseplant that offers year-round interest with its striking foliage and occasional blooms. It's a wonderful addition to any plant collection and a surefire way to inject a burst of tropical flair into your home. Whether you're a seasoned plant enthusiast or a beginner, this plant is a fantastic choice due to its easy-care nature and remarkable appearance.
PLANT SIZING & APPEARANCE

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
