Toxicity
Philodendron ‘Black Cardinal’ is grown for its rich, dark foliage — new leaves push out a deep wine-red and age to a glossy blackish-green, giving the plant a moody, dramatic presence. Its compact, self-heading habit keeps it tidy rather than viny.
Give it bright, indirect light to maintain the deep coloring and water when the top inch or two of soil is dry. It’s an easy, striking grower. Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, so site it out of reach.
