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.

Good hub if you're missing an ethernet port and want one
Bought this for my laptop that lacks an ethernet port. The connectivity is perfect. Have had it now for over 6 months and no issues; not surprised as it is an Anker (always reliable for me). Nice to have an extra USB-C port, as well as 2 USB-A's. Haven't used the display port, so can't comment on that. Nice and compact.

Reliable and power hub
I use most of the ports on this hub and other slightly cheaper hubs caused my monitors to turn off and back on frequently, presumably a power issue.
As long as I have my computer charger plugged into the hub this has not been an issue with the anker one.

Works great but gets warm.
Overall, this is a pretty good product with a few minor flaws.
First, every port seems to work great. I purchased this so I could use the dual display feature on my iPad Pro and cast onto an external monitor through the HDMI port. Works like a charm. The USB ports work great as well, and the USB C has proven surprisingly functional. The power through charging (plugging in a regular power cord to the hub to charge the iPad) has had some issues, but I believe it was mainly because I was using the regular iPad charger that came with my iPad, and it wasn’t powerful enough for the charging through the hub. It was a 20 watt charger and I need 30 watts. I have yet to get a 30 watt but I am sure that will fix my problem.
The other flaw I have noticed is that it tends to warm up rather quickly. From my personal experience, this seems to be fairly common with these USB C hubs. This one in particular gets warm quickly, like within 20 minutes or so after using the HDMI and at least 1 USB port, which is rather fast compared to other hubs. That being said, it hasn’t gotten really HOT, just warm. Even after couple hour study session, it is still just warm, so that is good.
Anyways like I stated, this is a pretty good hub and for the price is probably hard to beat. I would recommend this to someone who is looking to increase their productivity of a device that has USB C.

Complete essential for anyone with a MacBook Air
If you're a MacBook Air / laptop with only USB-C ports, this is a total essential. It's an all in one hub to connect to all your devices
You can hook up to monitors, plug in dongles for your mouse, etc that you wouldn't be able to. I'm able to display at 2K with this to extend my laptop and use a mouse with a USB-A dongle thanks to it. It's sleek, well designed, slim, and has a stylish LED indicator.
And if you have a monitor that supports power delivery you don't even need to use your charging cable and can charge straight out of this.
I really can't think of any cons.
