Philodendron 'Congo Green' is a large-leaved tropical plant with a strong, upright growth habit and dense, glossy foliage. Developed as an indoor hybrid, it traces its ancestry to tropical philodendrons native to South America, adapted for growing in warm, humid forest floors. The leaves are broad, smooth, and deep green, growing tightly around thick, self-supporting stems without the need for climbing supports. Indoors, it forms a bushy, architectural shape that gives rooms a bold, structured look.
Each leaf is oval to slightly elongated, with a natural gloss that highlights its deep green color. The leaves can reach 12 inches or longer when mature, creating a full canopy around the base of the plant. Unlike climbing philodendron species, Congo Green stays compact and vertical, with new leaves emerging tightly curled before unfolding into large, sturdy forms. It usually grows to 2 to 4 feet tall and wide indoors, depending on the pot size and growing conditions.
Compared to vining philodendrons like Philodendron hederaceum or larger split-leaf types like Philodendron selloum, Congo Green grows in a more upright, self-contained form. It does not trail or climb, making it suitable for filling vertical spaces without sprawling or requiring support structures. Its steady, upright growth and the heavy weight of the stems give it a solid, grounded appearance.
In addition to its striking foliage, this Philodendron's s foliage helps improve indoor air quality by contributing to natural air exchange processes. It adapts well to indoor life, tolerating varying humidity and lighting conditions once established. Its upright, solid growth habit allows it to fit well into tall, narrow planters, making it an excellent choice as a centerpiece plant or a statement feature in rooms and open spaces.
-
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant, lush foliage. It can tolerate lower light but will grow more slowly and may develop smaller leaves.
Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings, watering thoroughly when needed. Consistent overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot.
Thrives in moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 50–70%. Occasional misting or a nearby humidifier can help in dry indoor environments.
Grows best at temperatures between 65–85°F. It should be protected from drafts and kept above 60°F to avoid stress.
Use a rich, well-draining potting mix formulated for tropical plants, typically containing peat, perlite, and orchid bark. Proper aeration encourages strong root development.
Feed once a month during the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Pause fertilizing during the cooler months when the plant's growth slows naturally.
Philodendron 'Congo Green' is toxic if ingested by pets and humans. Always place it safely out of reach of children and animals.

Wow it's smooth, soft, not overly scented
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
I rarely try new hair products. I use Aveda sculpting clay and when I tell most stylists this they simply stop trying to sell me their sponsored hair product since they know how good Aveda is. I've never seen a product as smooth as this; it feels like hand lotion and goes in super easy and has a nice hold with really minimal residue. Feels great to put hand through hair after putting this in. This stuff is really different - I'm a fan!

Not bad but read my full review if you are experimenting with different brands
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
So I am middle of the road on this product. First, I love the products from this brand and use some of their other products quite regularly. I was on a search for an alternative to the Crew Forming Cream (which I have used for maybe 20 years) and decided to purchase this product by Huron as well as the much cheaper medium hold styling cream by Cremo. All three are great products but you will need to decide for yourself how much hold you need as I have discovered that each are quite different and really shouldn't be compared to one another. I will say that if I had to put them all into two categories then Crew is heavy hold and Huron and Cremo is medium / light hold. I must admit that I was skeptical that the cheaper of the three, Cremo, would win me over but it has. For the record it has a very subtle scent (hardly noticable), just enough hold and does not leave you feeling like you have product in your hair. This is similar to Huron as well (although Huron is a very creamy in texture and you can tell its a higher quality product) but at the end of the day all that matters is great hold from a product that is affordable and does not leave a sticky texture in your hair. Cremo wins hands down. As for Crew, well it was a good ride but too expensive and way too heavy...time to move on.

So lightweight. Perfect for extra thick hair.
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Its almost mousse like in how light weight it is and smells fantastic. I wanted something just above light weight hold and not weigh my thick hair down and this does a great job. A little pricey but SO much better than the usual store brands out there. And my wife is totally in love with how great it smells when I put it on, so bonus!

Smells good and doesn’t feel greasy

Product didn’t leave a greasy feeling to the hands or the hair. Kept hold all day for my hair style but I knew it was light hold going in. It has a great scent
