Care Guide
Water the plant when the top inch to 2 inches of soil feels dry to the touch. Use warm water and avoid watering at night. Over-watering can lead to root rot.
Prefers bright, indirect light, but can adapt to lower levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Too much shade can also cause the leaves to turn more green than red.
Prune in spring/summer during active growth, not dormancy. Look for leggy stems and yellow leaves as pruning indicators. Prune for health and aesthetics, ensuring clean cuts above nodes.
The Red Congo thrives in various lighting conditions, has moderate water needs, and doesn’t require high humidity.
Use a well-draining, peat-based mix with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the pot has drainage holes and consider adding draining agents.
No, the Philodendron Red Congo is not considered pet-friendly.
The Philodendron Red Congo is considered an air-purifying plant.
Use a well-balanced organic fertilizer once a month during spring through fall. You can add fertilizer to the water when you water the plant.
Ideal temperatures are 60–85°F (15–29°C), tolerates up to 95°F. Keep in a warm environment.
