Philodendron 'Black Cardinal' - Regal Romance: Striking Dark Foliage Houseplant in 4" Pot

Ever wished your houseplants could have a touch of brooding mystery? Enter Regal Romance, the Philodendron 'Black Cardinal'! A native of South America, Black Cardinal flaunts dramatic, velvety leaves with shades ranging from deep green to a striking reddish-black hue. Its foliage is so smooth and matte you'd think it had its own skincare routine. Hardy, flexible, and easy to care for—this philodendron is here to add some heart-thumping allure to your plant collection!

Benefits:

• Easy Maintenance: Fantastic for newbie plant parents—just water when the top inch of soil is dry.
• Unique Foliage: Gorgeous dark and reddish leaves that stand out and make a statement.
• Hardy: Sturdy and flexible; it can withstand a variety of indoor conditions.
• Versatile Décor: Fits seamlessly into various room styles and concepts.

Care Instructions:

Regal Romance loves bright, indirect light but can handle low light conditions like a champ. Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch—overwatered plants are likely to get sulky. A monthly feed with general houseplant fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) will keep your Black Cardinal flourishing.
