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 gained popularity in the US recently. The plants are loved for their lustrous and large foliage and their low maintenance plant care regimen. Philodendron Rojo Congo care practices include placing in a bright indirect light and watering the plant when the soil dries. Though these plants prefer a bright light, they are not too picky on their light requirements. The Congo will also tolerate a medium to lower light. Additional care tips for this tropical plant includes promoting high humidity levels and potting in a well draining soil. An ideal potting soil blend for these beauties would incorporate organic matter and chunky additives. This blend will work to 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 repottings with this indoor plant. The Red Congo will also benefit from the application of a slow release fertilizer in spring and summer months. The Philodendrons’ large burgundy green foliage works to compliment most color schemes and give a space a pop of color. The Philodendron Congo Rojo is the ideal houseplant for collectors and beginners alike.
