A hybrid variety, Rojo Congo would not be found in the wild but its Philodendron tatei and Imperial Red ancestors are used to the tropical rainforest, so keep that in mind when deciding where to keep your plant! This variety of Philodendron also grows upright, rather than climbing or creeping as many do; it will be quite happy to sit in a pot on your shelf or sideboard without growing too far over the edges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlace in moderate to bright indirect light.
