Philodendron red congo plant sapling

Wait until the top 50% to 75% of the soil is dry before watering again, as this variety is sensitive to overwatering and prefers a "dry-out" period.

Place it in a well-lit room away from direct sun rays, which can scorch its beautiful dark foliage and cause the vibrant red hues to fade.

Like most Philodendrons, the Red Congo contains calcium oxalate crystals that are toxic to cats and dogs, causing mouth irritation and swelling if chewed.

The Philodendron Red Congo Plant Sapling from Pick Your Plant is a highly desirable, self-heading (non-vining) Philodendron that brings a dramatic, tropical presence to any space. Even as a young sapling, it begins to exhibit the signature size and color that makes this plant so popular: new leaves unfurl in a stunning, deep reddish-bronze hue before maturing into huge, glossy, dark green foliage. This plant is a fantastic choice for adding architectural interest and vibrant color.
