The Philodendron Congo Red is a spectacular plant known for its large shiny burgundy red leaves that turn dark green with reddish reflections as they age. One of the rare colored foliage Philodendron varieties in our Philodendron collection.

Native to the tropical forests of South America, the Philodendron 'Congo Red' stands out from most of its relatives by its compact upright habit — it does not climb and does not require a stake. Each new leaf emerges bright red before gradually turning burgundy then dark green, creating a plant with multiple simultaneous tones. With its height of 80 cm, it naturally asserts itself as a centerpiece in a living room or a large indoor space.

Which Philodendron variety to choose?

The Philodendron genus offers an immense diversity of shapes, colors, and sizes — here’s how the Philodendron Congo Red stands out from other varieties in the catalog:

  • Philodendron Congo Red (this plant) — large burgundy red leaves turning dark green, compact upright non-climbing habit (H80 cm | Pot Ø27 cm). The most spectacular red version.
  • Philodendron Imperial Red — wide shiny burgundy red leaves, compact upright habit. The most classic and accessible red version.
  • Philodendron Prince of Orange — young bright orange leaves turning green, compact habit. The vibrant orange version.
  • Philodendron Billietiae — elongated leaves with spectacular orange petioles, climbing (H25 cm | Pot Ø12 cm). The rare colorful collector’s version.
  • Philodendron Melanochrysum — velvety dark green leaves with light veins, climbing habit (H75 cm | Pot Ø21 cm). The velvety XXL version.
  • Philodendron Birkin — dark green leaves striped with white, compact and graphic habit. The elegant variegated version.
  • Philodendron Green Wonder — large bright green entire leaves, generous upright habit (H100 cm | Pot Ø24 cm). The majestic XXL green version.

Exhibition & location

The Philodendron Congo Red needs good indirect light to maintain the intensity of its colors — brightness determines whether new leaves stay bright red or quickly turn green.

  • Exposure: bright indirect light — avoid direct sun that burns the leaves.
  • Ideal: bright living room, office, or large room with a well-exposed window without direct sun.
  • Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, without sudden changes or drafts.
  • Substrate: light, rich, and well-draining — universal potting soil mixed with perlite.

The brighter the light (without direct sun), the longer new leaves stay bright red before turning burgundy — in shade, they quickly turn green.

Watering & care

Like all Philodendrons, Congo Red prefers slightly dry substrate rather than soggy — yellowing leaves almost always indicate overwatering. To never overwater again, the finger test method is the most reliable.

  • Watering: moderate — let the top 3 to 5 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
  • Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, every 2 weeks in winter.
  • Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
  • Humidity: prefers 50–70% humidity — mist occasionally or place near other plants.
  • Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
  • Cleaning: gently wipe the large leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their glossy shine.

Regularly wipe the large leaves — dust on the shiny burgundy surfaces significantly dulls the color intensity.

Decor ideas & plant pairings

With its burgundy red shades and compact upright habit, the Philodendron Congo Red adds a rare splash of color to tropical arrangements — it creates a striking contrast among greens.

Verdeia tips

  • Maintain good brightness: the intensity of the burgundy red is directly linked to the amount of indirect light received — if new leaves emerge green without passing through bright red, move the plant closer to a well-lit window.
  • Wipe the leaves once a month: on the large shiny burgundy surfaces, dust greatly dulls the color intensity — a damp cloth gently wiped over each leaf immediately restores all the foliage's brilliance.
  • Repot every 2 to 3 years in spring: into a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining substrate — properly done, repotting stimulates the growth of new large bright red leaves and densifies the plant's shape.

Cyril of Alexandria's mystical understanding of Christ was holistic and non-dual!
Format: Paperback
I can't say enough about this book. It was the inspiration behind my book! It showed me that the West has settled for a static dualistic interpretation of the person of Christ. Cyril of Alexandria opened the mystical door to a wholly other approach. Cyril of Alexandria's mystical understanding of Christ was holistic and non-dual. For Cyril Jesus is undivided: "at once God and human." Jesus, according to Cyril, is about creative tension, paradox, and complex dynamism. It is the dynamic unity of Christ espoused in this book that gave me the hope of a holistic vision taking hold of the Church once again. It gave me the hope for a core mystical theology that has the power to unite a divided Church. Cyril's holistic Christology is preserved today in the Oriental Orthodox Church's Miaphysite theology, which I attempted to make vital and contemporary in my book. -Amos Smith (author of Healing The Divide: Recovering Christianity's Mystic Roots)

Relief for dry mouth without gum irritation
Big improvement for users with sensitive gums. These relieve dry mouth during the night almost as well as the regular tabs. Some complained about a residual gel left on the gums. 🙄Just wipe it off. It’s a small thing.
