Hey Christa! I have admired your plant, since i found your channel...about 6 weeks or so ago. I finally found my Rojo Congo at Home Depot! I'm so excited about it! Thank you, beautiful! I love all your videos. I will be on the hunt for another one. Thanks again, hon💚

I grabbed one of these half off at a nursery early in 202 not knowing what it was, but knowing it could be beautiful. I’ve since split it into 2 pots (because it was 2 stems) and they have both been thriving. It’s big, but it’s also beautiful and steady and has such a cool and chill vibe. Love these guys!!!

Thanks for the care tips! I just picked one up at the Home Depot, so anyone who can't find it a Lowe's should try looking there. I saw a few of them outside on a covered curb stand as I was walking to the car and literally did a 180 back into the store so I could buy one because I couldn't pass up on that price!

[@plantluxxe]

That's awesome! They are gorgeous plants! Make sure you treat it when you get home and don't put it in the direct path of a humidifier. For some reason, it super kicks off disease. Many those spot things called some kind of rust fungus. Rojo is notorious for that pressure. Enjoy your new rojo! Thank you for watching my videos!

I never thought of cleaning the leaves with Neem oil. I was cleaning my leaves then spraying on Neem oil. Now I can skip a step! I just picked up a Rojo Congo today at a Walmart because we don’t have a Lowe’s or Home Depot nearby. It’s probably a good thing because I had access to all that before moving to a rural tourist town. I can’t imagine spending more on plants.

[@fldesigner5047]

You make it sound like they're super fussy & delicate. They're not! I'm in Florida. I have a huge RC in a pot by my front door. I never bring it inside. I'm on the coast, so temps here never go below 32, but we can get temps in the 40s to 90s. I fertilize once or twice a year, maybe, and water it with left over water from my dog's water bowl. She also gets some rain. The most important care I stay cognizant of is to regularly turn it 45° so it grows evenly. They really aren't fussy or difficult to care for.

[@plantluxxe]

Hi Michelle. I agree, Rojo Congo are very easy care plants! Here in VA, the weather is much different than in FL, so depending on where you live and the lighting of your home, the care requirements differ pretty drastically.... not everyone has the habitat and weather as FL. Many northerners struggle with tropical plants in the fall and winter months. Thank you for taking the time and energy out of your busy day to post your thoughts here! I appreciate it!

[@plantluxxe]

Hello! Oh wow, this could be due to several factors. Lighting is very important. They love warmth and thrive with a semihumid yet warm location in your home (don’t let a humidifier blow on it though, disease happens then.) What fertilizer are you using? Watering routine? I watered mine with warm (not hot) water. Soil? Did you change out the soil or is it still in the soil it came with? They love nutrient dense soil with big chunks of bark that provide aireation.

I just bought one in a 6" pot from a big, expensive greenhouse. I have seen advice to bury the air roots to add stability to a Monstera & my Philodendron Congo Rojo has several air roots. It was not very stable in the nursery pot, so I immediately repotted it into a heavy ceramic pot & buried the ends of the air roots. I think I see air roots on your specimen that are aimed into the soil.

[@plantluxxe]

Hi William! Yes my air roots were buried in soil. That makes good sense and sounds about right with regard to stability! You can also put yours on a moss pole for even larger leaves…. A grow light makes the air roots get really long and the leaves very big and lush…fertilize regularly! Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

Hi Christa! Awesome video! I recently bought a Rojo Congo and it seemed to have been overwatered, but it doing ok despite. This morning I did notice something that seems concerning. In trying to guess what's going on, the best thing I can come up with is that it seems like there might be a new aerial root starting to sprout, but it is ripping the base of a new leaf that is sprouting but has not opened, yet. The split is at the very base, is vertical and currently 1 1/2 inches long, and the center is split open about 1/4 inch. Is this a normal thing when new aerial roots sprout? Is there anything that I should do?

Hi thank you for such an informative video, my plant is a little smaller than the smaller plant you have and the weight of the plant is causing it to lean where it almost falls from the the weight. Is this a climbing plant, any tips? Maybe I need to cut it down to less leaves?

Thanks for the information. I have one and I have these red spots all over the leaves. Does yours do that? Some say it is from over fertilization. I don't fertilize, and it still has them.

[@plantluxxe]

Thank you for watching!! Yea on a few of mine I have spots... they came with spots.... some didn't though... and no new spots...I keep treating regularly w/ Neem oil. I can keep you posted

Hello, I was wondering if Jacks 5-12-26 or 15-0-0 would also work I have these? Could I use them on the Rojo Congo, Prince of Orange and Moonlight? Thank You Kat, I'm under my hubby's uttube

Hello! I use 20-20-20. . . I find that the plants love the balance of nutrients...I am unsure of the effectiveness of the other ones. Thank you for watching my videos.

In the few days I've owned my Philodendron Congo Rojo, I've noticed a phenomenon I have not seen on any other of my houseplants: each morning, I find drops of water on its leaves. I also have had a similar Philodendron Imperial Majesty Red but have never found drops of water on its leaves during the 20 months I've owned it.

[@plantluxxe]

Hello! I see this often on my plants after a good watering …it’s normal and the plants way of preventing edema. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. If it’s sap like thing it may be a sign of pests. Those sneaky microscopic plant killers can really put a damper on a beautiful leaves. Thank you for watching and commenting🪴🪴

[@williamlaine2116]

@@plantluxxe The drops are water, but it is rare for me to see them, like morning dew. It won't be difficult to wash dust & no-see-ums off leaves that are large & few.

Hi! I have a question :) Thanks for the informative video! I'm about to buy my own philodendron for the new home I just moved in. Saw it for the first time in a store around the corner and just knew I had to have it! You said you buy a bucket of Neem extract, add a drop of soap and fill up the rest with water. I guess the neemoil/water ratio is explained on the packaging right? What's the soap for and doesn't it damage the plant? Thanks!!

[@plantluxxe]

Hello! Yes, I follow the package directions🤣🪴♥️ a dab of soap, water, neem extract. If I’m really proactive I dunk the plants in the mixture to make sure I kill all the bugs I cannot see with my 👀 eyes thank you for watching and commenting!

I found this similar plant at Lowe's about a month ago, but it's all green with no red whatsoever. Otherwise it looks identical. Is there a green version? Also when I first purchased, the leaves were stretched wide. After a few days at home near a window, it perked up & leaves were more upright. Today I was sad to see it had gone back to it's original wide stretched look. A little droopy looking. It was dry maybe 2 inches down so I gave it water, enough to moisten the soil but not drenched. It's now 15 hours later and leaves have not perked back up. Should I be concerned? Or is this what it's normal state should be?

[@plantluxxe]

Hi there! Can you DM me a pic @plantluxxe or email me a pic [e-mail] ? I need to see it to help 💚😍 thanks for watching my videos! Come back very soon!!💚

Hello Avon, There is Philodendron Green Princess. It looks just like the Rojo without the red colour.

That’s a personal decision. I cannot say Cuz cutting back it is soooooo painful to you and the plant!

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you I can definitely show you pictures of the vertical wall that I built as well as some possible video just let me know if you’re still interested and I’ll try to work up something and how would I get that to you...possibly on Instagram or something?

[@Michaellee-si3yx]

Great videos....I literally just found you on youtube today and I wanted to ask you if you have ever considered building a vertical plant wall to house the majority of your plants? I say the majority and not all of your plants as I can imagine some of your larger varieties you would prefer to keep in a pot. I myself just built a vertical plant wall recently and Im amazed how many plants you can fit into a small space when they are displayed vertically. Watering them is also no longer a chore as you can have an automatic irrigation system that is installed at the top of the wall. Sorry about being long winded on the subject, not trying to sell you anything, just letting you know in case you never looked into it. Take care, Michael

[@plantluxxe]

Hi Michael! YES I WANT ONE! Haha that is an Excellent idea. Irrigation system? OMG YES PLEASE!🤣🙏😊🌱💚🌿 I am definitely going to do this. I can post a video of it too. I have the tools, I am good with a nail gun and saw... not familiar with irrigation but maybe there is info online? Would have to build in grow lights, wouldn't I? I love this idea. Thank you for watching my videos. I am so glad you found me! 🙏😊🌱💚🌿

What are your ratios again for the Neem Oil, soap and water to wash the leaves? You are just using the Neem oil bottle you showed to mix it in correct?

[@plantluxxe]

Hello! I mix a few drops of dish soap, neem extract (I eyeball it about one or two tsp.) and the rest water…I recycle the old container because it’s perfect to keep in hand. I really have great luck with this mix. Sometimes I add a little horticultural oil if the infestation is bad. But not all plants tolerate horticultural oil, so stuck with neem🪴💚 thank you for watching and commenting!

[@Peoniesandpelicans]

The one in the back looks like a rojo and the one in front of it looks like an imperial red, that would be my explanation for the difference between the leaves (thickness and definition). From what I’ve learned the best way to tell is the dark red outer line around the edge of the leaves (found on a rojo, but the thin outer edge will match the green of the leaves on an imperial.) that isn’t the only difference by a long stretch, the petioles on a rojo are also darker but that’s how I was able to finally tell mine apart. Hard to tell for sure in this video but from what I can see that’s my guess

[@plantluxxe]

Hi Kati, Thanks for your comment...yah, the leaves are Rojos. My Rojos are just super different because of the age of the plant and the lighting conditions. The older one has larger leaves. I have an imperial re, but it's characteristics are much different than a Rojo. Unfortunate story: I had to completely chop the leaves off the Rojo plant since that video, yikes. It was very sad day--I made a video about it and will post it soon. Rust spots are the devil...that's why I had to chop it. But, I did get footage of it, so that I could share my advice about Rust spots, since it is a real problem for anyone unfortunate enough to get them! It is still re-growing the leaves. I chopped it about 4 months ago.
