Care Intensity: Moderate care is needed for the 'Congo Rojo'. It's suitable for plant lovers who are ready to provide a bit more attention to their indoor greenery.

Water Schedule: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, which is usually every 1-2 weeks. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Grower Tip: Rotate your 'Congo Rojo' periodically to promote even growth and leaf coloration. Also, wiping the leaves with a damp cloth not only keeps them clean but also helps in showcasing their beautiful burgundy hues.
