Philodendron Choco Empress

Make way for royalty—the Philodendron ‘Choco Empress’ has arrived, and yes, she’s as luxurious as she sounds. With rich, chocolatey-green foliage and velvety undertones that shimmer like silk in the light, this plant doesn’t just sit in a corner… she reigns there.

Every new leaf unfurls like a royal decree: “Thou shalt admire me.”

Benefits:

Velvety Foliage: Textured, touchable, and totally regal.

Rare + Exotic: Not your average grocery store philodendron.

Air-Purifying: Cleans your air while silently judging lesser plants.

Tropical Drama: Instantly elevates your plant collection from cute to curated.

Care Instructions:

This empress prefers bright, indirect light (think dappled sunlight through jungle leaves, not blazing desert). Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Loves high humidity—so give her a mist, or place near a humidifier if she’s looking cranky. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer for that lush, empress-level glow.

Décor Tips:

Let her shine in a dark ceramic or matte gold pot—think regal but modern. Give her a prominent spot: coffee table centerpiece, plant pedestal, or throne-like corner display.

Décor Vibes:

Jungle Luxe: Rich tones and textures, baby.

Dark Academia: Add mystery, elegance, and a whisper of danger.

Royal Boho: Velvet meets vines.

Ideal Spaces:

Living Room: Commands attention and compliments.

Bedroom: Adds depth and drama with a soft, sultry edge.

Office: Inspires your inner monarch to get things done.
