Filodendro 'Choco Empress'

Philodendron ‘Choco Empress’ is a rare and striking variety of philodendron, known for its large, velvety leaves with deep shades of chocolate and dark green, complemented by pronounced veins and a subtle sheen. It is a tropical collector’s plant, with a lush appearance and dramatic texture, ideal for bright spaces and lovers of exotic plants.

Recommended growing conditions:

• Light: Prefers strong indirect light, shielded from direct sunlight. In good light, the leaf colors are more intense and the velvety texture more evident.

• Watering: Moderate. Water when the top layer of the soil is dry.

• Soil: Loose, well-drained, rich in organic matter – ideally a tropical mix (peat, bark, perlite).

• Humidity: Appreciates high air moisture, but adapts to drier environments if kept away from cold drafts. Regular misting or a humidifier is beneficial.

• Fertilizing: During the active period (spring–summer), fertilize monthly with a feed for foliage plants.

Philodendron ‘Choco Empress’ is a standout piece in any tropical collection, perfect for those who appreciate large, velvety leaves and dark, elegant shades.
