- The included Houseplant Soil Mix is a lightweight, nutrient-rich blend of materials for moisture retention, combined with perlite and coarse sand for excellent drainage and aeration. Its balanced pH and natural amendments, such as coarse peat and perlite create the ideal environment for healthy roots while mimicking the plant's native habitat, ensuring quick water flow to prevent overwatering.
- Light Requirements: The Black Cardinal thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions, though its growth may slow. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch its delicate leaves. Proper lighting encourages its signature dark foliage to develop fully!
- Watering: Water the Black Cardinal when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. In general, it enjoys a moderate watering routine, but always ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid excess moisture accumulation.
- Growth Rate and Maintenance: The Black Cardinal is a fast grower, and with the right conditions, you’ll see it climbing and spreading quickly. Its leaves can grow up to 10 inches long and become a rich, dark shade of purple-black as they mature, giving it a dramatic, sophisticated appearance.
- Temperature Tolerance: This Philodendron is best suited to temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It thrives in a warm, humid environment but is relatively adaptable to typical indoor temperatures. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as cold drafts can cause stress.

Testimonials
Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
