Meet Philodendron ‘Emerald Queen’, the plant that’s basically royalty in your indoor jungle. With its glossy, dark green leaves and upright, elegant growth habit, this philodendron is bold, classy, and low-maintenance—a true statement plant.
 
Look & Personality
Leaves: Thick, glossy, deep green, and heart-shaped with smooth edges. Sleek, shiny, and tropical—the kind of plant that instantly elevates any indoor space.
Shape: Upright or climbing vine. Can trail slightly or climb a moss pole or trellis for dramatic height.
Size: Medium indoors; with support, it can grow larger and more impressive.
Bonus: Its dark green glossy leaves make it a perfect contrast plant alongside lighter or variegated species in your jungle.
 
Pet & Reptile Safety
⚠️ Important: Like most philodendrons, Emerald Queen is toxic to cats, dogs, and reptiles. It contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate mouths and digestive systems if ingested. Keep it safely out of reach—admire it, don’t munch it.
 
Care Guide
This regal beauty is easy to care for if you follow basic tropical plant care:
Light: Bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light, but growth slows in low light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent scorching.
Watering: Let the top inch of soil dry between waterings. Overwatering = yellowing leaves and root rot.
Soil: Well-draining aroid mix with perlite or orchid bark.
Support: Loves climbing—moss poles or trellises help it grow tall and dramatic.
Temperature: Prefers indoor temps above 15°C and moderate humidity.
 
Troubleshooting
Yellow leaves: Usually caused by overwatering—check soil moisture and drainage.
Brown leaf tips: Often low humidity or direct sun—mist occasionally or move to a brighter, indirect spot.
Leggy growth: Low light or no climbing support—train it up a pole or trellis.
