SunshineGreens Philodendron Cardinal

No, this plant is not pet-friendly. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if ingested by pets, so it is best kept in a location out of reach.

This plant arrives in a 2-inch pot, meaning it is a young specimen. It will require repotting into a slightly larger container as it matures, but its compact size makes it perfect for smaller shelves or windowsills while it establishes itself.

To keep that signature deep burgundy and near-black foliage, place it in bright, indirect light. Too little light may cause the leaves to fade to a lighter green, while direct, harsh sun can scorch the foliage.

Yes, the Black Cardinal is considered easy to care for. As long as you provide consistent warmth and avoid overwatering, it is a resilient and rewarding plant for those new to indoor gardening.

Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again. Philodendrons prefer to be slightly moist but never soggy, so ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
