Light
- Provide bright, indirect light. Variegated plants, including Philodendron 'Green Congo Variegated', generally require more light than their non-variegated counterparts to maintain their coloration. Too little light can cause the variegation to fade.
- Place the plant near a north or east-facing window, or use grow lights if natural light is insufficient. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Water
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Philodendron 'Green Congo Variegated' prefers consistently moist soil but can suffer from root rot if overwatered. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Tips
- Rotate often to ensure even growth.
- High humidity is crucial, ideally between 60% and 80%. Variegated plants often need higher humidity to keep their foliage vibrant and healthy. Use a humidifier, humidity tray, or pebble tray to maintain these levels.
- Maintain temperatures between 18°C to 29°C (65°F to 85°F).
- Fertilize once a month during periods of active growth.
Toxicity
