Know before you buy
No, it thrives best in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the variegated leaves, so place it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives plenty of natural light without harsh, direct beams.
You should water it weekly, but always check the soil first. Ensure the top inch of soil is dry to the touch before adding more water to prevent overwatering.
It is best to wait. Allow the plant a brief acclimation period in its original 3-inch pot to adjust to your home's environment before moving it to a new container.
No, the Philodendron Red Congo Variegated is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
This plant prefers a warm environment between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid placing it near cold drafts, air conditioning vents, or heaters, which can stress the foliage.
