Philodendron Rojo Congo
Philodendron Rojo Congo is a new and distinct cultivar of Philodendron. It is a product of the cross or breeding between Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ as the female parent and an unidentified cultivar of the Philodendron tatei. This plant grows vigorously in an upright but spreading or open manner. New Rojo Congo leaves are brownish maroon to almost red in color while the large mature ones are dark green in color with a touch of red. The plant’s leaf petioles remain reddish purple to bright right with long-lasting petiole sheaths.
Rojo Congo’s thick and glossy leaves growing on long stems appear to be spreading and open making it suitable for indoor use. Oftentimes, nurseries and even households grow Rojo Congo plants in containers. Although this evergreen tropical plant appears large, it is perfect for pots indoors used in landscape philodendron.
