The Philodendron Congo Red is a spectacular plant known for its large shiny burgundy red leaves that turn dark green with reddish reflections as they age. One of the rare colored foliage Philodendron varieties in our Philodendron collection.

Native to the tropical forests of South America, the Philodendron 'Congo Red' stands out from most of its relatives by its compact upright habit — it does not climb and does not require a stake. Each new leaf emerges bright red before gradually turning burgundy then dark green, creating a plant with multiple simultaneous tones. With its height of 80 cm, it naturally asserts itself as a centerpiece in a living room or a large indoor space.

Which Philodendron variety to choose?

The Philodendron genus offers an immense diversity of shapes, colors, and sizes — here’s how the Philodendron Congo Red stands out from other varieties in the catalog:

  • Philodendron Congo Red (this plant) — large burgundy red leaves turning dark green, compact upright non-climbing habit (H80 cm | Pot Ø27 cm). The most spectacular red version.
  • Philodendron Imperial Red — wide shiny burgundy red leaves, compact upright habit. The most classic and accessible red version.
  • Philodendron Prince of Orange — young bright orange leaves turning green, compact habit. The vibrant orange version.
  • Philodendron Billietiae — elongated leaves with spectacular orange petioles, climbing (H25 cm | Pot Ø12 cm). The rare colorful collector’s version.
  • Philodendron Melanochrysum — velvety dark green leaves with light veins, climbing habit (H75 cm | Pot Ø21 cm). The velvety XXL version.
  • Philodendron Birkin — dark green leaves striped with white, compact and graphic habit. The elegant variegated version.
  • Philodendron Green Wonder — large bright green entire leaves, generous upright habit (H100 cm | Pot Ø24 cm). The majestic XXL green version.

Exhibition & location

The Philodendron Congo Red needs good indirect light to maintain the intensity of its colors — brightness determines whether new leaves stay bright red or quickly turn green.

  • Exposure: bright indirect light — avoid direct sun that burns the leaves.
  • Ideal: bright living room, office, or large room with a well-exposed window without direct sun.
  • Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, without sudden changes or drafts.
  • Substrate: light, rich, and well-draining — universal potting soil mixed with perlite.

The brighter the light (without direct sun), the longer new leaves stay bright red before turning burgundy — in shade, they quickly turn green.

Watering & care

Like all Philodendrons, Congo Red prefers slightly dry substrate rather than soggy — yellowing leaves almost always indicate overwatering. To never overwater again, the finger test method is the most reliable.

  • Watering: moderate — let the top 3 to 5 cm of substrate dry out between waterings.
  • Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, every 2 weeks in winter.
  • Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
  • Humidity: prefers 50–70% humidity — mist occasionally or place near other plants.
  • Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
  • Cleaning: gently wipe the large leaves with a damp cloth to preserve their glossy shine.

Regularly wipe the large leaves — dust on the shiny burgundy surfaces significantly dulls the color intensity.

Decor ideas & plant pairings

With its burgundy red shades and compact upright habit, the Philodendron Congo Red adds a rare splash of color to tropical arrangements — it creates a striking contrast among greens.

Verdeia tips

  • Maintain good brightness: the intensity of the burgundy red is directly linked to the amount of indirect light received — if new leaves emerge green without passing through bright red, move the plant closer to a well-lit window.
  • Wipe the leaves once a month: on the large shiny burgundy surfaces, dust greatly dulls the color intensity — a damp cloth gently wiped over each leaf immediately restores all the foliage's brilliance.
  • Repot every 2 to 3 years in spring: into a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining substrate — properly done, repotting stimulates the growth of new large bright red leaves and densifies the plant's shape.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️
