Philodendron (Rojo Congo) Propagation Guide

Rooting a philodendron (Philodendron) is easy. All you need is a pair of scissors and a small container of potting soil. To make a cutting, use a sharp knife or shears to cut a piece of stem about 3-6 inches long. It's best to make your cut just above another leaf on the same stem.Remove all of the leaves from the cutting except the top two or three. Place the cutting in moist vermiculite or potting soil. None of the leaves should be buried in the rooting medium. If they are, perch the cutting a little higher or remove another leaf -- just be sure that two or three leaves remain. Put your container in bright, indirect sunlight. I usually set mine along a windowsill or on a table near a window.
In two or three weeks, roots will sprout, followed by new leaves. Gently tug on the cutting. If you feel resistance you'll know that roots have formed. Insert the cutting in good-quality potting soil in a pot that's 3-4 inches wide. If your mother plant is large enough, take three to five cuttings at one time and let all of them root in the same jar. Then when you plant them, you'll have a pot that's full and lush.

Gracias 🙏🏾 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Sophie_chioggia]

We love your videos. We switched the pot of our plant 5 months ago. Since than it stoped growing, no more new leaves and two leaves got brown spots, most of the other leaves look fine though, just look like they are hanging down slightly. We water the plant every 10 days and spray it with water slightly in-between. We really don’t know what we can do. Can you give us some advice? Thank you

[@SharonCullenArt]

Thanks for the tip. Btw, Tojo is Spanish for red. It is pronounce Roho with an h sound not a j sound. 😊

[@stevenwang6498]

[@MammilariaElongata]

Bonito

[@erminesmiles]

Hi Mark, is there a better time of year to propagate red congos?

[@honeydipqueen]

I bought one with mealy bugs, like the silly goose I am. I’m trying to cut it apart and see what leaves I can save!!! I’ve been treating the whole plant for weeks to no avail

[@TheBalconyGardener]

Oh no!

[@asmr_mushroom]

I can't tell you how scared I am to cut it.. I'm so afraid I'll kill it 😅

[@evangelinesabularse3610]

Even in the water culture we can put also they will nor die

[@manisashafique3365]

Hi, they are GORGEOUS! I was wondering what kind of soil you used. Please let me know. Also how much light they require. I live in Canada, don't have the luxury of having a balcony garden all year long. Thanks.

[@GT-bx1jp]

Any potting soil will work. I have additional perlite mixed in to provide better soil drainage and aeration and a layer of pebbles in the bottom of the the pot or saucer below the pot. This plant needs pot/soil with good drainage.

[@coraames8964]

I meant one of the leaf already has a brown spot , kindly guide me , thanks!

[@TheBalconyGardener]

Hi Cora.., Brown means it needs more water. Fertiliser once a month only..

[@carlinebenois8765]
