Philodendron 'Choco Empress'
Philodendron ‘Choco Empress’ is a rare and spectacular variety of philodendron, known for its large, velvety leaves with deep chocolate and dark green shades, complemented by pronounced veins and a subtle shine. It is a tropical collector's plant, with a lush appearance and dramatic texture, ideal for bright spaces and exotic plant lovers.
Recommended growing conditions:
• Light: Prefers strong indirect light, protected from direct sunlight. In good light, the leaf colors are more intense and the velvety texture more evident.
• Watering: Moderate. Water when the substrate is dry in the top layer.
• Soil: Loose, well-drained, rich in organic matter – ideally a tropical mix (peat, bark, perlite).
• Humidity: Appreciates high atmospheric humidity, but adapts to drier environments if protected from cold drafts. Regular misting or a humidifier is beneficial.
• Fertilization: During the active period (spring–summer), fertilize monthly with a fertilizer for decorative foliage plants.
Philodendron ‘Choco Empress’ is a centerpiece in any tropical collection, perfect for those who appreciate large, velvety leaves and elegant dark shades.
