The Philodendron Red Congo is a bold, self-heading philodendron prized for its large, glossy leaves that start out a deep burgundy-red before maturing to a rich green. Unlike climbing philodendrons, this variety grows upright in a tidy clump, making it perfect as a statement plant for homes and offices. Native to the warm, humid climates of South America, the Red Congo brings both tropical elegance and easy care to indoor spaces.
When it comes to light, the Red Congo thrives in bright, indirect light, such as near an east- or north-facing window. It can handle medium light, but too little light will slow growth and dull its vibrant colors. Direct sun, especially from a south or west window, can scorch its leaves—so if placing it there, be sure to filter the light with sheer curtains. This balance of light helps it maintain strong, colorful foliage without damage.
Caring for this plant is refreshingly simple. Allow the soil to dry between waterings, as overwatering can cause root rot. It enjoys higher humidity but will adapt well to average household levels. Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them shiny and free from dust, which also helps the plant absorb more light. With the right balance of light, water, and humidity, the Philodendron Red Congo will reward you with lush, bold growth all year round.

Let customers speak for us
from 264 reviewsI am loving my Monstera Swiss Cheese! It arrived in perfect condition - healthy, vibrant, and full of character. The leaves already have that iconic fenestration, and it's thriving in its new spot.
You can tell this plant was cared for before it even got to me,. I appreciate the thoughtful packaging and quick delivery. Definitely one of my new favorites in my collection.

I absolutely love my Schefflera Variegated (Umbrella Plant)! It arrived healthy, vibrant, and has already become a favorite among my houseplants. The variegation is beautiful, and it's adjusting well to its new home.
Appreciate the care you put into packaging and shipping - it really shows. I'll definitely be ordering from The Rooted Plant Shop again! 💚

YES YES and YES! wonderful education and plants. Plant shop with a purpose!
I absolutely LOVE this monthly plant subscription! Every single shipment has been packed with so much care that everything arrives secure, tidy, and damage-free. The plants themselves? Stunning! Each one has shown up happy, healthy, and absolutely beautiful. You can tell they take pride in quality because my plants look like they’ve come straight from a greenhouse into my home. It’s always such a joy to open the box each month and see what new green beauty is waiting inside. If you’re on the fence about subscribing, don’t hesitate. This is hands down one of the best plant subscriptions out there

I love it 😍

Arrived just as seen during the live. Well behaved so far and transitioning well. Happy with my purchase!

Mel, is one of the sweetest shop owners that I know of! She puts her heart and soul into caring and educating plants! There are very few who would rather educate you than to sale you on a plant! That sale is just a bonus for her! Plants are her life, passion and dream along with moose and Jax! You would truly be supporting someone whom is real, caring and down to earth! Let’s not forget to mention the outstanding plants that are in her care! 10/10 recommend! I adore Mel !
She is absolutely stunning! Packaging was great, she got to Pennsolvania so healthy and ready to keep thriving!

It is beautidul Mel! Thank you so much! 10/10 service! You will go so far wirh your business! Your love for plants, knowledge and your hard work wont go unnoticed! 1000% recommended!

I received my plants very well packed and they are doing wonderfully!😁
I love this little plant. As Mel says, it’s dramatic! It will drop to the tabletop when she is thirsty. Give her some water and watch her perk right up. She is very forgiving. I would recommend it for other beginners as well.
