Philodendron Rojo Congo Care Tips:

Light: Provide the Philodendron Rojo Congo with bright, indirect light to maintain its rich foliage coloration. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it thrives in moderate to bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Soil: Plant your Philodendron Rojo Congo in well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging. A mixture of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

Watering: Allow the top half of soil to dry out between waterings, then water your Philodendron Rojo Congo thoroughly. During the growing season, water more frequently, but reduce watering in the winter months when growth slows down. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.

Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels around the Philodendron Rojo Congo, as it originates from tropical regions. Regular misting or using a humidity tray can help increase humidity levels, especially in dry indoor environments.

Temperature: Keep the Philodendron Rojo Congo in a warm environment with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 60°F (15°C), as it is sensitive to cold.

Fertilization: Feed your Philodendron Rojo Congo with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during winter when growth slows down.

Pruning: Trim any leggy or yellowing stems as needed to maintain the plant's shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any debris or dead leaves to prevent pests and diseases.
