1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light levels but may not grow as vigorously or exhibit its best coloration.
2. Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
3. Humidity: This plant prefers higher humidity but can adapt to average indoor conditions. Regular misting or a humidity tray can be beneficial.
4. Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). 
5. Soil: Use well-draining potting soil, such as a mix formulated for tropical plants. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve aeration.
6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
7. Pruning: Regularly remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy and promote new growth.

By following these care guidelines, your Philodendron 'Choco Empress' should thrive and continue to add its striking beauty to your space.
