About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Philodendron Black Cardinal is one of the most striking and dramatic aroids available, prized for its large, oval leaves that emerge with a rich red-bronze colouration before deepening to an almost black burgundy as they mature. The contrast of new red growth against the nearly black mature leaves creates a dynamic, ever-changing display. As a self-heading (non-vining) variety, it grows in a compact, upright rosette without needing a pole. A premium statement plant that commands attention in any interior.
