Philodendron 'Green Congo'
Philodendron 'Green Congo' is a robust, upright-growing plant known for its large, glossy, deep green leaves. Unlike many philodendrons, this variety doesn’t have a vining habit, making it ideal for spaces that need a more structured, bushy plant. Its bold, lush foliage adds a striking tropical feel to any vivarium or indoor setup, making it a popular choice for creating a vibrant, green backdrop.
Care
Lighting Requirement: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, for best growth and the healthiest foliage, bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to scorch.
Watering & Humidity: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Philodendron 'Green Congo' enjoys moderate to high humidity, ideally between 50-70%, though it can adapt to average indoor humidity levels.
Temperature Requirement: Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep the plant away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, as these can stress the plant.
