This stunning new plant is the king of Philodendrons and has wonderfully delicate leaves and deep purple stems and leaves. The new growth unfurls into delicate deep burgundy coloured leaves, fading to black, and finally to dark rich green leaves as the plant matures. We have a very limited quantity of these beautiful, new Philodendrons Congo and they really are very special. The reason Philodendron Congo make such amazing indoor plants is that they adapt to a wide variety of lighting and water conditions in the wild and so will thrive indoors very well.
