Help your Red Congo feel at home.

Philodendron ‘Rojo Congo’

01 · Sun requirements

Find its light

Bright indirect light indoors; filtered light or gentle morning sun outdoors.

02 · Indoor / outdoor

Make room, indoors or out

Suitable indoors with bright light or outdoors in a sheltered, warm site. Use a draining nursery pot inside decorative planters.

03 · Soil & amendments

Start with good soil

Loose, organic, well-drained soil. In a pot, combine a quality potting mix with chunky bark and perlite. In a bed, improve the wider root zone with compost; never leave roots waterlogged.

04 · Water requirements

Water with care

Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of potting mix feel dry, then drain the pot and empty its saucer. Check rather than watering on a fixed schedule; use less water in low light or cool weather.

05 · Growing habit

Give it room to grow

Self-heading Philodendron Rojo Congo, usually about 2–3 ft tall and wide, occasionally larger. It forms a rosette and does not need a climbing pole.

06 · Zones & cold protection

Know your growing zone

Best in frost-free zones 10–11. In zone 9b, use a movable container or a reliably protected microclimate; frost can damage or kill exposed growth.
