Nature's Way Farms Rojo Congo Philodendron

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its signature deep red foliage will be most vibrant when placed near a sunny window that doesn't receive harsh, direct afternoon sun.

The best way to gauge watering is to check the soil moisture. Wait until the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch before watering thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains away to prevent root rot.

No, like most philodendrons, the Red Rojo Congo contains calcium oxalate crystals which can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.

It arrives in a 1.72-gallon grower pot, which is sufficient for the plant's current size. You can place the grower pot directly inside a decorative container of your choice, but you won't need to repot it until you notice roots growing out of the drainage holes.

While it is a tropical houseplant, it can be kept outdoors in USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11. If you live in a cooler climate, it must be brought inside before temperatures drop, as it is not frost-tolerant.
