Alternative Names:
Congo Green
Arabic: فيلودندرون
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Alismatales
Family: Araceae
Genus: Philodendron
Subgenus: Philodendron
Section: Calostigma
3. Origin & Distribution
Native to the tropical rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador in northwestern South America. In the wild, found in understory habitats at elevations of 200–1,000 m.
4. Visual Characteristics
Leaves: Large, elliptic to oblong, glossy dark green; new foliage may emerge with a bronze or reddish tint.
Stems: Upright, sturdy, green to brownish.
Growth Habit: Clumping, self-heading form without major climbing tendency.
5. Size & Dimensions
Indoor Height: Typically 0.9–1.2 m (3–4 ft).
Spread: 0.6–0.9 m (2–3 ft).
Leaf Length: Up to 30–45 cm (12–18 in).
6. Light Requirements
Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light but growth may slow and leaf color may darken. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
7. Watering Needs
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Maintain evenly moist soil but avoid waterlogged conditions. Reduce frequency in cooler months.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Ideal mix: peat or coco coir, pine bark fines, and perlite or pumice (2:1:1). Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound.
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperature range: 18–29 °C (65–85 °F). Do not expose below 15 °C (59 °F).
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%). Benefits from regular misting or a pebble tray.
10. Fertilization
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) at half strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Low to moderate. Prune yellow or damaged leaves as needed. Wipe foliage occasionally to remove dust. Monitor for pests and adjust care if issues arise.
12. Growth & Propagation
Propagation by stem cuttings: take 10–15 cm cuttings with at least one node, root in water or moist sphagnum moss. Division of clumps during repotting also effective.
13. Common Problems
Pests: Spider mites, mealybugs, scale.
Diseases: Root rot from overwatering.
Leaf yellowing: Often due to overwatering, low light, or nutrient deficiency.
14. Benefits & Uses
Attractive ornamental for homes and offices. Helps improve indoor air quality by filtering volatile organic compounds.
15. Toxicity & Safety
Contains calcium oxalate crystals; toxic if ingested by pets or humans. May cause oral irritation, drooling, and gastrointestinal upset. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and animals.
