Family

Araceae

Foliage Look

Glossy, broad, dark reddish-bronze and forest green waxy leaves with prominent veining.

Foliage Rules

Mature Stage Morphology

Large, glossy, ovate-oblong leaves arranged in a circular rosette pattern on sturdy, upright petioles.

Morphology Rules

Represent as a non-vining 'self-heading' plant; the base should be thick and sturdy to support upright foliage.

Plant Faqs

How much light does a Rojo Congo need? It prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its rich foliage color. Is this plant a climber? No, it is a self-heading, clumping variety that grows upright rather than vining. How often should I water? Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically every 7 to 10 days depending on indoor temperature.

Root Look

Healthy, white, fibrous roots within a firm, intact soil plug.

Soil Look

Dark, moist, well-draining organic potting medium.

Starter Stage

Small, compact starter plug with dark, reddish-toned juvenile leaves emerging from a central crown.
