SOS: Dying Unknown Plant

I purchased this plant (pls see attachments) last Easter and forgot how it's called. I could only remember that it starts with "Black...". Pls help me recall the name of this plant.

It was thriving all right until recently when I let our household staff do the watering. Leaves are turning brown and appear like dying soon. Need help on its proper care.

Many thanks for the soonest help.

Try Philodendron 'Black Cardinal'. I have the same problem every time I let my household staff do the watering. Joe

Joe is joking. Household staff is a rare occurrence in Canada!

Re: SOS: Dying Unknown Plant

Hi Joe, Many thanks for the very quick reply. Indeed, it's a Black Cardinal and according to what I've read, I won't be needing my staff to water it ;-)

Hi KarinL, fully understand what you meant. Had the same experience when we were assigned in Europe. We were just lucky here :-)
