Philodendron Black Cardinal Variegated

The philodendron black cardinal is a remarkable choice among the various types of philodendrons available. This particular plant, a hybrid of Philodendron erubescens, showcases glossy leaves that transition from burgundy red to dark green, eventually maturing into a dark purple-brown shade that appears almost black. To fully appreciate the striking broad and oval foliage of this low-maintenance houseplant, it is recommended to place your black cardinal in an area with bright yet indirect light. Additionally, ensure that the potting medium is well-draining and consistently moist, while maintaining high humidity levels. It is important to note that, like all philodendrons, the black cardinal is toxic to both pets and humans. Therefore, it is advisable to keep it out of reach from inquisitive children, as well as any cats or dogs that may be tempted to nibble on its leaves.
