Philodendron 'Congo Green'

Sold as 'Congo' or 'Congo Green'. Marian Osiecki selected it in 1995 from the self-pollinated progeny of an unidentified P. tatei subsp. melanochlorum selection. Compared with that parent it is more vigorous, branches earlier and more freely, and has a fuller habit with shorter petioles; larger and more open than 'Imperial Green'.
