Philodendron 'Green Congo' Variegated

$19.99
Title

An exceptionally striking, highly coveted rare indoor plant prized for its thick, leathery, paddle-shaped leaves splashed with unpredictable patterns of cream, buttery yellow, and mint green. It grows in a compact, upright, rosette-like form rather than climbing, and the large, glossy leaves feature a smooth texture. The variegation is chimeral and highly unique on every single leaf, ranging from subtle splashes and sectors, to blocks of solid cream. Indoors, it maintains a structured, architectural presence, typically maturing into a lush mound about 2 to 3 feet (60–90 cm) tall and wide.

Common Pests

Mealybugs

Mealybugs

What To Look For: White, cottony or waxy masses on stems, leaf axils, underside of leaves. Sticky honeydew, sooty mold growth, yellowing or dropping leaves.

How To Treat: Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to dab and remove visible bugs. Wash leaves and stems with gentle soapy water. In heavy infestations, consider removing very affected stems/leaves or, in the worst case, replacing the plant.

Spider Mites

Spider Mites

What To Look For: Very fine webbing under leaves or between stems and leaves (especially in dry indoor air). Leaves may appear stippled (tiny yellow or white dots) or dusty; they may turn yellow, brown or drop. When you tap a leaf onto white paper, you might see tiny moving specks. (Often too small to see easily)

How To Treat: Increase humidity around the plant (since mites thrive in dry air). Spray plant thoroughly (both sides of leaves) with insecticidal soap or a miticide/plant-safe oil; repeat every few days. In heavy infestations, consider removing severely affected sections; isolate the plant.
