The plant is characterized by its dark, glossy leaves that emerge bronze or burgundy and mature to a deep blackish-green. The leaves are oval-shaped and can grow up to 12 inches long and 8 inches wide.
Philodendron Black Cardinal is a low-maintenance plant that is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some direct sunlight. The plant should be watered regularly, but the soil should not be allowed to become soggy.
Philodendron Black Cardinal is a relatively slow-growing plant, but it can eventually reach a height of 3 feet and a width of 2 feet. The plant is not known to be toxic to humans or animals.
