Philodendron Black Cardinal
This species of Philodendron is a tough little lady hailing from the rainforests of South America. She distinguishes herself by her lush, beautiful leaves which emerge glowing with a bright orange hue before changing quickly to a deep black-green. Clean the large leaves with a damp cloth. These houseplants can thrive well near a window where the sunlight will shine directly on its foliage. Philodendrons are exotic tropical plants and therefore prefer humid environments. Misting them about once a week can help to encourage these humid environments, which may accelerate growth. Compared to most Philodendron houseplants out there, Philodendron Black Cardinal is not a climber, so you don’t have to train or trail it. Only water your Black Cardinal Philodendron when the top inch of its potting soil looks dry. To verify the dryness of the soil, stick your index finger up to the knuckle to check if it is still damp below the surface. In time, you’ll get an understanding of your plant’s watering requirements. If you want to add some variation to your plant collection, or if you’re on the lookout for a statement plant for a particular spot in your house, the Black Cardinal might be just what you’re looking for. It creates a calming atmosphere and increases general wellbeing and filters the air for a cleaner, healthier and relaxing environment. Even though this plant rarely blooms, its striking colored foliage makes the house plant stand out in any plant collection and indoor garden.
