Philodendron Red Congo X Philodendron Plowmanii – A Hybrid of Structure and Texture

This stunning hybrid combines the upright, structured growth of Red Congo with the large, rippled foliage of Plowmanii, creating a bold, sculptural houseplant.

Light & Temperature for Optimal Growth

• Best in bright, indirect light but adapts to partial shade
• Avoid placing in low-light conditions, as growth will slow
• Temperature range: 68-85°F (20-29°C)

Humidity & Air Circulation for Healthy Growth

• Prefers 60-75% humidity for best foliage texture
• Increase moisture using a humidifier or occasional misting
• Maintain airflow to prevent dampness-related issues

Repotting: Recognizing When It’s Time

• When roots begin wrapping around the bottom of the pot, repotting is necessary
• Slow or stunted leaf production signals the need for fresh soil
• If the plant becomes top-heavy and unstable, a bigger pot provides better anchoring

Watering & Fertilization Strategies

• Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy
• Use a well-draining, organic-rich soil mix
• Fertilize every 5-6 weeks with an organic seaweed fertilizer

Pest Control: Safeguarding Your Hybrid

• Common threats: Spider mites and scale
• Preventative methods:
• Regularly check leaf undersides for pests
• Introduce predatory insects like ladybugs to keep pest populations down
• Keep soil free of decaying plant matter to avoid pest attraction
