{"product_id":"philodendron-red-congo-variegata-p6-h15","title":"Philodendron Red Congo Variegata 'Rojo Congo'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSectoral-variegated Red Congo with red new growth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaves are large, glossy and paddle-shaped, with broad, irregular patches and streaks of cream, white, pale pink or mint against dark green — the striking contrast is amplified by new foliage and petioles that often emerge red to burgundy. The plant’s silhouette is compact and upright: thick stems form a self-heading clump rather than long vines, so the overall effect is bold, sculptural foliage rather than trailing tendrils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a variegated selection, Philodendron Red Congo Variegata keeps the classic Rojo Congo traits — red new growth and sturdy, upright habit — while adding sectoral (albo\/marbled) variegation that can appear differently on each leaf. Young leaves show the brightest red tones; mature leaves develop larger, more settled variegation. Unlike climbing philodendrons this selection doesn’t produce splits or fenestration, and collectors note that its marbled pattern is broader and chunkier than the fine white pinstripes you see on a Birkin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn daily care you’ll notice the trade-offs: variegation is light-sensitive and can fade or revert to plain green if kept too dim, and these selections respond best to bright, indirect light and higher humidity. They prefer moderate watering and well-draining mix; overwatering risks root rot. Also: like other philodendrons this cultivar contains calcium oxalate crystals and can irritate skin or be harmful if chewed — keep out of reach of pets and children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is usually offered as a young, “baby” option; buying a small, younger specimen means you’ll enjoy watching the clump fill out over time. Because variegated Red Congo selections have been produced in limited tissue-culture runs, availability can be intermittent and they carry extra collector interest and cost compared with the common non-variegated Rojo Congo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Circle","offers":[{"title":"Baby - P6 H15","offer_id":62009278103820,"sku":"MM-MEC-1568","price":73.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3553\/3068\/files\/red_congo_variegata_baby.jpg?v=1785331831","url":"https:\/\/plantcircle.com\/en-at\/products\/philodendron-red-congo-variegata-p6-h15","provider":"Plant Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
