Black Cardinal Philodendron

Black Cardinal Philodendron (Philodendron melanochrysum) is an evergreen tropical plant known for its lush foliage and gentle, attractive leaves. It has glossy dark green leaves with copper or pink highlights, whilst the veins on the leaves and stems are copper in colour. This plant can grow up to three feet, making it a great option for small spaces and a good choice for any indoor or outdoor garden. Black Cardinal Philodendron can tolerate direct light, but it prefers bright, indirect sunlight and shade.

Water your Black Cardinal Philodendron moderately but evenly. Water it more frequently during warmer months, while you can reduce the frequency during cooler months. Avoid over-watering as this will lead to root rot. Keep the soil slightly moist, as it does not like dry soil. A soil moisture meter will help you measure how much moisture there is in the soil.
