If you love philodendron, but want one that stands out in a crowd, the Black Cardinal is for you! The Black Cardinal requires little maintenance and is suitable for beginners that want something unique. This tropical plant's leaves change from burgundy red, to dark green then to a purple brown color, that appears almost black as it matures.
Loves bright indirect light, which contributes to its color changes.
Use well draining soil to reduce the risk of root rot. Water when the top two to three inches of soil is dry. It prefers to be watered from the bottom. This plant loves humidity, and would love a humidifier or a tray of pebbles with water underneath it.
