Rojo Congo
Rojo Congo
So you want the jungle without the scaffolding? I'm the Rojo Congo - the philodendron that never needs a moss pole. I'm 'self-heading': my huge leaves unfurl deep burgundy-red, mature to glossy dark green, and stack themselves into a broad, dramatic rosette. Every stage of the colour story on one plant, at all times.
I own a room by growing up AND out, so give me space to be admired from all angles. Medium to bright indirect light, water when my topsoil dries, and a slow-release feed two or three times a year keeps me generous.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 25cm+ and building
- X-Large - 250mm nursery pot, approx 40cm+ of spreading drama
Pets: rich colour, poor snack - toxic if chewed.
Feed the drama with Indoor Plant Food and anchor it all in a Cooper Pot in Black.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Feeding your indoor plants
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
We take great care in growing, packaging, and shipping your new plants so they’re ready to thrive in your home. This includes keeping them safe while they travel from our wholesale nursery to your doorstep.
