★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd
Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.
Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...

All about
The Philodendron dossier
Philodendron
The Philodendron grows in the rainforests of South America, where most species climb trees as climbers. His name literally means tree friend.
The family is extremely versatile: from compact shrub forms to climbers with leaves as large as a hole-in-the-wall plant.

Placement and light
A Philodendron feels at home in a bright spot without direct sun, but will also settle for partial shade. The darker the spot, the smaller the new leaf.
Keep the temperature above 15 degrees. Climbing species appreciate a moss stick; which stimulates larger leaves.
Water and feeding
Allow the top centimeters of potting soil to dry before watering again: about once a week in summer, less in winter. The Philodendron forgives a forgotten watering more easily than wet feet.
Feed every two weeks from April to September and wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth.
Is something wrong with your Philodendron?
Yellow leaves indicate too much water, drooping leaves indicate thirst. Small new leaves mean too little light or nutrition. Drops on the leaf edges are harmless. Spider mites can appear in dry air, although the Philodendron is less sensitive to it than many other tropical plants.
Repot the Philodendron every two years in the spring in a pot that is one size larger, with airy, humus-rich potting soil. Immediately give climbers a longer moss stick. You can find the matching decorative pots directly on this page.
Toxic to pets?
The Philodendron contains calcium oxalate and is poisonous to cats and dogs. Chewing the leaf irritates the mouth and stomach. Place the plant out of reach of nibbling pets or choose an animal-friendly alternative.
A Philodendron grows smoothly with warmth and light; climbers visibly make progress in a season. Each new leaf grows larger as the plant climbs higher.
This Philodendron 'Congo Red' is 80 cm tall, measured including the nursery pot, and comes in a pot of ø27 cm. It grows compactly and fairly wide, without a climbing support.
Where should you place a Philodendron Congo Red?
In a bright spot without intense sun, or in partial shade. With more light, the young leaves and stems remain redder.
How often should you water a Philodendron Congo Red?
Water when the top layer of potting soil feels dry, usually once a week in summer and less often in winter. Waterlogged roots cause root rot.
Is a Philodendron Congo Red toxic to cats and dogs?
Yes, philodendrons are toxic to cats and dogs. The leaves contain calcium oxalate, which irritates the mouth and stomach.
Why are the leaves of my Philodendron Congo Red turning green?
That is normal: new leaves emerge red and turn dark green as they age. If the young leaves also remain green, it is probably in too dark a spot.
