Philodendron Black Princes

The Black Cardinal Philodendron, scientifically known as Philodendron ‘Black Cardinal’, is a striking tropical plant characterized by its dark green to almost black, velvety leaves. This cultivar features prominent red veins that add a dramatic contrast to its foliage, making it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts. Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, it thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. The plant prefers well-draining soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring not to overwater. With a mature height of about 2 to 3 feet, it’s perfect for both tabletop displays and floor arrangements. The Black Cardinal Philodendron is also known for its air-purifying properties, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. Its unique appearance and relatively low maintenance make it an excellent addition to any indoor plant collection.
