The Full Picture
Philodendron Congo is a beast. It's a self-heading type that grows upright with huge, stiff leaves. 'Rojo' has dark burgundy leaves, while 'Green' is glossy emerald. It is distinct from climbers as it doesn't need a pole. It grows wide, so give it floor space. It handles lower humidity better than Micans.
