The Philodendron ‘Nuclear Congo’ is a rare and dramatic hybrid, prized for its bold, glossy foliage with striking red, pink, and green tones. New leaves often emerge with a vivid flush of color before maturing to a deep, rich green, giving the plant an ever-changing, dynamic appearance.
Unlike vining philodendrons, the Nuclear Congo grows in a self-heading, upright form, making it ideal as a sculptural accent plant for modern interiors. Its large, leathery leaves and compact growth habit allow it to shine as a tabletop feature or develop into a lush floor plant as it matures.
Your Philodendron ‘Nuclear Congo’ comes pre-potted in a modern self-watering planter, which ensures consistent hydration and reduces the risk of over- or under-watering. This system keeps its foliage vibrant and healthy with minimal effort, allowing you to enjoy its unique coloration year-round.
Best suited to bright, indirect light, this hybrid is a resilient and low-maintenance tropical that appeals to both collectors and interior designers seeking a bold indoor statement plant.
