The Congo Rojo Philodendron is a popular indoor plant whose shining reddish-green foliage makes a wonderful addition to any space. 

Native to South America, these dark green exotic beauties have recently gained popularity in the US. They are loved for their lustrous, large foliage and low-maintenance plant care regimen.

Philodendron Rojo Congo care practices include placing the plant in bright indirect light and watering it when the soil dries. Though these plants prefer bright light, they are not too picky about their light requirements. The Congo will also tolerate a medium to lower light.

Additional care tips for this tropical plant include promoting high humidity levels and potting in well-draining soil. An ideal potting soil blend for these beauties would incorporate organic matter and chunky additives. This blend will aerate the soil and promote drainage.

These plants enjoy being a bit root-bound in their pots, so you do not have to worry about frequent repotting with this indoor plant. The Red Congo will also benefit from a slow-release fertilizer in spring and summer.

The Philodendrons' large burgundy green foliage complements most color schemes and gives a space a pop of color. The Philodendron Congo Rojo is the ideal houseplant for collectors and beginners alike!
