Philodendron Sun Red

Meet the Philodendron Sun Red 🌟

Bold, fiery, and impossibly eye-catching — the Philodendron Sun Red is a living sunset. New leaves unfurl in breathtaking shades of deep red, burnt orange, and bronze before gradually maturing into rich, dark green — meaning this plant is always putting on a show. Compact and self-heading, it's the perfect statement piece for any shelf, table, or corner that needs a pop of drama.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. The dramatic red and bronze new growth is most vivid with good light — too little and the leaves lose their fiery color and turn more green.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Likes consistent moisture but never waterlogged — good drainage is essential.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+). Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray for best results.
• Temperature: Thrives between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
• Soil: Well-draining aroid mix — potting soil with perlite works great.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Skip in fall/winter.
• Growth Habit: Self-heading and compact — grows in an upright clump with no climbing needed. New leaves emerge red and orange before maturing to deep green, creating a constantly changing display of color.
• Air Purifying: Helps filter indoor air toxins 🌿
• Repotting: Every 1–2 years in spring when rootbound.

⚠️ Toxicity Warning: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
