Care Plan for Philodendron ‘Rojo Congo Variegated’

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or low light, which may diminish variegation.

Water: Water when the top 3–5 cm of the soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has excellent drainage to prevent overwatering, as this plant is sensitive to root rot.

Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%). Use a humidifier or place it in a naturally humid area like a bathroom with good light.

Temperature: Performs best in temperatures between 18–30°C. Protect from temperatures below 15°C and cold drafts.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally formulated for aroids. Adding perlite, orchid bark, and coconut coir enhances drainage and aeration.

Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilising, as it can lead to salt build-up.
