Black Cardinal Philodendron is a hybrid variety of the tropical non-climbing evergreen shrub with upright glossy foliage that unfurls as a bright burgundy color and darken  to near black with age.  They are self-heading, which means they grow new foliage in layers from a single stalk which gives them an upright shape.  Grows best with bright indirect sun with protection from afternoon sun and consistently moist well-drained soils.  Black Cardinal is an easy care house plant but toxic to pets!  Place in an area that cannot be reached by them.

MAINTENANCE: Low Maintenance.  Let the top few inches of soil dry out between watering.  Spray the leaves down regularly to deter dust/pests and provide some extra humidity. 

PLANT NERD TIPS: : These can be slow growing, so they’re a great option if you have a specific pot or space you’re trying to fill long-term.
