Jungle glam!

If you're in need of some jungle glam in your home these are some of the biggest Philodendron Imperials we've ever had!! Originating from the Caribbean, they are super chilled, demanding very little in the way of attention. You just need to admire their strikingly large leaves, which are bright red/orange when emerging, darkening to a deep green, almost black.

Grow pot width: 20cm. Decorative pot sold separately.

About Plant

Caring for Rojo

Light

The Philodendron Imperial can grow almost anywhere, except in direct sun. Too much direct sun will lead to pale yellow burn marks on the leaves. Medium to indirect light will be best. It can grow in low light conditions, but not as prolifically.

Water & humidity

Water when the top third of soil is dry. Rather underwater than over water this plant and ensure water drains out the bottom of the grow pot. Philodendron Imperials are fine with normal room humidity.

Feeding

Feed once every two months in summer. Do not feed in winter.

Re-potting

Re-pot every 12 - 18 months if necessary to one pot size up. These plants like being root bound, but even if you are not re-potting to a larger size, the plant will benefit from fresh nutrient-rich potting soil every few months. Philodendrons enjoy soil with lots of decaying organic matter - you can add a small handful of kraal manure to boost nutrient levels.

Atrium Top Tip

Too much water will cause the leaves to develope brown/black blotches and the bottom leaves will turn completely yellow and fall out. Too little water will cause the leaves to shrivel and drop off.

Plant fact

Philodendron is a member of the Araceae (Arum) family and originates from the Caribbean, Colombia and Venezuela. Rojo Congo is named after its red leaves - 'rojo' meaning red in Spanish.
