The Philodendron Black Cardinal is one of those truly fascinating foliage houseplants, prized for its large foliage that changes with age, starting out a brilliant burgundy then fading through shades of deep green into almost black. Not only does this plant make a statement but is truly eye-catching when you feel the need to add a touch of contrast among the greens.
As with all Philodendron, the Black Cardinal houseplant has a super care friendly nature and will create that instant jungle vibe in any home. Ideal for all levels of plant parents, be you a beginner or expert.
This low maintenance, ornamental plant does well in medium to bright light conditions and prefers warmer temperatures, so avoid cool corners or chilly drafts to keep it thriving.

Please note: Philodendron can cause illness if eaten, keep out of reach of pets and hungry children.
