🧡 Philodendron ‘Orange Congo’ – Care Guide

Philodendron ‘Orange Congo’ is a vibrant, easy-care hybrid known for its glowing orange to copper new leaves that mature into rich, deep green. With its self-heading growth and colorful foliage, it adds a bold tropical statement to any interior space.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to keep its orange tones vibrant.

• Can tolerate moderate light, but new leaves may emerge more green than orange.

• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry.

• Keep soil evenly moist, but never soggy.

• Use pots with good drainage to avoid root rot.

• Water less often during winter months.

🌱 Soil

• Prefers a well-draining, rich potting mix:

  Potting soil + perlite + orchid bark or coco peat.

• Needs aeration to prevent waterlogging.

💦 Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%).

• Adaptable to normal indoor humidity, but will thrive with extra moisture.

• Occasional misting or using a humidifier helps maintain lush foliage.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–28°C (65–82°F).

• Keep away from cold drafts—minimum temp: 12°C (54°F).

• Not frost-tolerant.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Pause fertilizing in fall/winter when growth slows.

• Avoid overfeeding—it can cause leaf tip burn.

✂️ Growth Habit & Maintenance

• Orange Congo is a self-heading plant—does not vine or climb.

• Grows upright in a compact, bushy form.

• Prune yellowing or old leaves at the base to encourage new growth.

• Repot every 1–2 years as it fills the pot.

✨ Special Features

• Bright orange new leaves contrast beautifully with older green foliage.

• Adds bold color and structure to indoor plant collections.

• Great for modern, minimalist, or tropical decor.

✅ Display Tips

• Ideal for floor planters, entryways, or bright corners.

• Pair with neutral pots to let the foliage pop.
