A play of colors that's addictive

Forget cut flowers – give an experience! The 'Rojo Congo' baby plant is the perfect gift idea for plant fans and anyone with an eye for design. The deep red color symbolizes warmth, love, and energy.

Your 'Rojo Congo' Guide: How to Make the Colors Shine!
Wow, what a beauty! Your Philodendron 'Rojo Congo' is a real gem. And the best part: it's super easygoing. With these simple steps you'll make sure your baby grows into a magnificent, color-intense showpiece.
🌱 The perfect spot: Bright, but gentle
For the leaves to develop their intense red color, your 'Rojo Congo' needs lots of bright, indirect light. Think of it like a VIP who loves the spotlight but doesn't like sunburn.
- Ideal: A bright room near a window (east, west, or north), but without direct midday sun.
- Pro tip: The brighter the location (without direct sun!), the more intense the red coloring of new leaves will be.
💧 Watering correctly: The secret is timing
Your Philodendron prefers to be a bit on the dry side rather than too wet. Waterlogged soil is a no-go! The simple finger test is your best friend:
- Stick your finger about 2-3 cm into the soil. Does it feel dry? Perfect — it's watering time!
- Water thoroughly until water runs out of the drainage holes. Wait 15 minutes, then pour away any excess water from the saucer.
💨 Humidity & shine: A little spa
The 'Rojo Congo' is fairly tolerant when it comes to humidity. But like every star, it loves a little pampering.
- Wipe its large, smooth leaves occasionally with a damp cloth. This removes dust, lets it breathe better, and really brings out the shine.
- It also likes occasional misting, but it's not a must.
💚 Energy boost: Food for the color
In spring and summer, when your 'Rojo Congo' is growing, it has an appetite. Give it the power for new, red leaves!
- Fertilize it from April to September about every 4–6 weeks with a common liquid fertilizer for houseplants at half strength.
- In autumn and winter it takes a break and doesn't need fertilizer.
That's it! Look forward to an incredibly grateful and spectacular plant. You'll love it!
