  •   Philodendron Cherry Red is a rare hybrid philodendron from the Araceae family, native to the rainforest understories of Central and South America. It has become a collector plant for its vivid foliage and bold upright growth habit.

      It is recognizable by its large, glossy leaves that emerge in cherry-red and burgundy tones before maturing to a dark green with reddish undersides. The foliage is thick and leathery with a defined midrib, and the plant grows in a strong upright form.

      Flowering details for Philodendron Cherry Red are rarely documented in cultivated specimens, as this hybrid is grown almost entirely for its exceptional foliage rather than blooms. It actively purifies indoor air, filtering formaldehyde and other toxins from your living space.

      Rotate it every few weeks to maintain even and full growth, and it responds well to the gentle humidity found near kitchens or bathrooms. Move it outside in summer to a sheltered patio spot, keeping it away from direct sun and heavy rain, then bring it back indoors before temperatures cool in early autumn. The sap can cause skin and paw irritation, so keep it on a high shelf out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.

  •   Philodendron Cherry Red grows well in bright indirect light but scorches quickly in south-facing windows with harsh direct sun.

      Water it every 7 to 10 days, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

      Philodendron Cherry Red grows well in a well-draining aroid mix of perlite, orchid bark, and quality potting soil.

      It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F and should never be exposed to frost or temperatures below 50°F.

      Philodendron Cherry Red is a moderately fast grower and benefits from balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9 through 11. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, California, Texas, Arizona, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and lower-elevation areas of Nevada. It also succeeds in sheltered outdoor spots along the mild Oregon and Washington coasts during warmer months.
  • Q: How often should I water Philodendron Cherry Red?
    A: Every 7 to 10 days. The leaves will wilt slightly when thirsty.

    Q: Is it safe for cats and dogs?
    A: No. Philodendron Cherry Red contains compounds that irritate skin and the mouth, so keep it well out of reach on a high shelf in homes with pets.

    Q: Does Philodendron Cherry Red need special lighting?
    A: It adapts to bright indirect light or even office LEDs, but avoid placing it in direct south-facing sun where the leaves scorch and fade.

    Q: Can I propagate it from cuttings?
    A: Philodendron Cherry Red propagates from stem cuttings with at least one node placed in water or moist sphagnum moss until roots develop.

    Q: How fast does Philodendron Cherry Red grow?
    A: It produces new foliage steadily throughout spring and summer with monthly feeding, reaching full mature size over two to three years.

    Q: Can I grow this plant outdoors year-round?
    A: Philodendron Cherry Red survives outdoors only in USDA zones 9–11, which includes southern Florida, Hawaii, Texas, California, and a few other warm states. All other regions should keep it indoors except during summer months.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
