2 Philodendron 'Black Cardinal' Live Starter Plants – Multi-Stem Bare Root (2" Pot Size)

Enhance your indoor plant collection with this set of 2 Philodendron 'Black Cardinal' live starter plants. This tropical houseplant is admired for its dramatic foliage that emerges in shades of burgundy before maturing to deep green and nearly black. Its compact, self-heading growth habit makes it an excellent choice for tabletops, shelves, containers, and modern indoor spaces.

This listing includes 2 multi-stem live starter plants. Starter plants are inserted into 2-inch nursery pots during cultivation but are not fully rooted into the pot. Each plant has a fully established root system and is shipped bare root in a protective soil pod to help minimize shipping stress. Please do not remove or disturb the soil pod upon arrival. Nursery pots are used for cultivation only and are not included.

You will receive plants similar to those shown in the listing photos. The mature plant image is provided for reference only. Natural variation in leaf color, size, shape, and growth habit should be expected.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
