Rojo Congo Philodendron Plant Care Guide

Placement

The Rojo Congo Philodendron is one of the easiest plants to care for. She will do well in just about any room. Place her next to a bright sunny window or even in a dimly lit room. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even growth.

Light Requirements

The Rojo Congo Philodendron will thrive in bright, indirect light but will be perfectly fine in extremely low levels of sunlight as well. Avoid placing her in direct sun, as the rays can scorch the leaves.

Watering Needs

Water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry. Water moderately and regularly so that the soil is consistently moist, but not soggy. Clean the leaves occasionally by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth.

Temperature Preferences

Prefers warmer temperature between 76°F - 86°F. Cold temperatures should be avoided.

Humidity Tolerance

Does well with standard indoor levels of humidity, about 40% - 60%.

Repotting Needs

The plant can live happily in the provided pot for up to a year. Check if the plant is ready to be repotted by touching the soil and seeing if it has become loose, or if the roots have become overgrown. Irrigate the pot in order to loosen the soil before transplanting. Repot using a rich, well-draining soil. When your plant is ready to be repotted, you can follow our simple how-to guide.

Unhealthy Plant Signs

Droopy leaves may be a sign of underwatering, while yellow, droopy leaves may be a sign of overwatering. Brown, crispy spots on leaves may be a sign of too much direct sun.
