✅ Care Guide for Rojo Congo

Light:
Thrives in bright, indirect light
Tolerates medium to low light but with slower growth
Avoid harsh direct sun to prevent leaf burn

Watering:
Water when the top 1.5 inches of soil feels dry
Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy
Water less frequently during colder months

Temperature:
Prefers 20°C to 30°C—heat-tolerant but frost-sensitive
Avoid placing near AC blasts or cold windows in winter

Humidity:
Appreciates moderate humidity (40–60%)
Adapts well to average indoor conditions
Can benefit from occasional misting or a nearby humidifier

Soil:
Use a rich, well-draining mix: cocopeat + compost + perlite + orchid bark
Ensure good aeration to prevent root rot in dense soils

Fertilizer:
Feed monthly with a balanced NPK (like 20-20-20) in growing season
Optional organic boosters: seaweed extract or vermicompost tea
Pause feeding in winter

Maintenance:
• Wipe broad leaves to keep their glossy finish
• Prune old lower leaves as plant grows upward
• Repot every 1.5–2 years or when roots crowd the pot
• Rotate plant every few weeks for balanced shape and color exposure

✅ Common Problems
• Drooping or limp leaves: Often due to underwatering or cold shock
• Yellowing leaves: Could indicate overwatering or poor drainage
• Brown edges: Usually caused by dry air or salt buildup
• Leaf spots or mushy stems: Always check for fungal or bacterial issues early
• Very pest-resistant, but occasional scale or mealybugs can appear—wipe down regularly
