Philodendron ‘Choco Empress’ is a striking tropical houseplant known for its large, velvety leaves that emerge with a warm bronze-chocolate hue before maturing to a deep, glossy green. Its bold foliage and vining growth habit make it a standout in any plant collection, whether displayed on a shelf, in a hanging planter, or trained up a moss pole. This variety grows quickly with the right care and is perfect for adding a touch of drama to your indoor jungle.
Care Tips:
💡 Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while low light may slow growth.
💧 Water: Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top 1–2 inches to dry between waterings. Avoid letting it sit in water.
🌡 Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Regular misting or a nearby humidifier can help keep the foliage lush.
🌱 Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix rich in organic matter.
✂️ Growth Tip: Train it onto a moss pole or trellis for larger leaves and a more upright form.
