Choco Empress Philodendron

The Choco Empress is pure luxury in plant form. New leaves unfurl in deep chocolate-brown, then mature to dark green with golden undertones and bold veins. The velvety texture and regal coloring are exactly what the name promises.

It is a vigorous climber, so give it a moss pole and watch the leaves get impressively large. A rare hybrid that brings a moody, high-end feel to any bright room.
