The Philodendron ‘Green Congo’ is a striking self-heading hybrid admired for its bold, glossy, paddle-shaped leaves and upright growth habit. Unlike trailing philodendrons, the Green Congo forms a dense clump of vibrant foliage, creating a lush and modern statement for interior spaces.
This hybrid is loved for its resilience and ease of care, thriving in bright, indirect light but also tolerating medium light conditions. Its upright structure makes it ideal for tabletops, corners, or as a floor plant, where its lush greenery can shine.
Your Philodendron ‘Green Congo’ comes pre-potted in a modern self-watering planter, ensuring consistent hydration and reducing the risk of over- or under-watering. This system keeps its leaves glossy and healthy, while making plant care effortless.
Place in bright, indirect light to encourage strong, even growth. With its low-maintenance nature and bold aesthetic, the Green Congo is perfect for both collectors and those seeking a sophisticated, easy-care tropical plant.
