Dwarf Red Congo Variegated
The Philodendron ‘Dwarf Red Congo’ is a rare and striking hybrid prized for its compact, upright growth habit and vibrant foliage. New leaves emerge a vivid red and cream before maturing to deep green and cream, creating a dramatic contrast that makes this plant stand out as a bold indoor statement piece.
Unlike trailing philodendrons, the Dwarf Red Congo grows in a clumping, self-heading form, meaning it does not vine but instead develops into a dense cluster of glossy leaves. Its manageable size makes it ideal for tabletops, desks, or as a colorful accent in modern interiors.
Your Philodendron ‘Dwarf Red Congo’ comes planted in a modern self-watering pot, which ensures consistent hydration and reduces the risk of over- or under-watering. This easy-care system keeps its foliage glossy and vibrant, allowing you to enjoy its unique color transitions with minimal effort.
Place in bright, indirect light to maintain strong color and growth. The Dwarf Red Congo is a resilient hybrid, perfect for collectors and indoor plant lovers seeking something both exotic and easy to care for.
