Philodendron congo in Patterned Vintage Concrete Planter with Stand, circa 1960s

Gorgeous tropical deep green leaves planted in a way that is inspired by Brazilian midcentury design.

Height: 1.2m 
Pot Diameter: 400mm 

A hybrid bred from philodendrons native to the tropical forests of South America, where conditions are warm, humid and rainy through the growing season.

With plant care, we are trying as best we can to emulate the plant’s natural environment in our homes.

Medium to Bright Indirect Light Indoors. A spot near a bright window is ideal, and some gentle morning sun is fine. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the large leaves.

From spring to autumn, when the plant is actively growing, water thoroughly and allow the top 5 cm of soil to dry out before watering again. This mimics the regular rainfall of its native home. In the cooler months, growth slows, so pull back watering and let the soil dry out a little more between drinks.

This plant likes humidity, so keep it away from air conditioning vents and cold drafts. Wipe the leaves now and then to remove dust, and rotate the pot every so often for even growth. Older leaves will eventually yellow and drop as the plant matures, which is perfectly normal.

Please note, this plant is toxic to pets and humans if eaten, so keep it out of reach of curious pets and children.
