  • Philodendron 'Cherry Red' stands out as one of the most colorful and vibrant foliage houseplants you can own. Its eye-catching new leaves emerge in striking shades of deep cherry red, gradually maturing to a rich, glossy green. This dynamic color contrast creates a stunning display year-round, making 'Cherry Red' a favorite for plant lovers seeking bold, tropical vibes.

    With its elegant, upright growth habit and compact size, 'Cherry Red' is perfect for brightening up indoor spaces, from living rooms to offices. Its vibrant foliage and relatively low-maintenance care requirements make it a must-have for anyone looking to add a splash of color to their plant collection.

    While 'Cherry Red' is a cultivated hybrid, its parent species originate from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. These lush, humid environments, where temperatures are warm and light filters softly through the forest canopy, are the ideal conditions that this plant mimics indoors. Philodendron 'Cherry Red' can be grown outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

    Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is beginner-friendly, making it a great option for new plant enthusiasts. It’s forgiving of minor care mistakes, adaptable to various light conditions, and relatively easy to maintain.
  • 'Cherry Red' thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain the vivid red tones of its new growth. It can adapt to lower light conditions, but its colors may be less vibrant. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate foliage.

    Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot, but don’t let the plant dry out completely. During cooler months, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows.

    Plant in a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration

    Philodendron 'Cherry Red' thrives in warm temperatures between 65°F and 80°F and appreciates moderate to high humidity. While it tolerates average household humidity, using a humidifier or misting occasionally can help it thrive, especially in drier climates.

    Feed every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support growth and enhance foliage color.

    Like most Philodendrons, 'Cherry Red' is toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.

    🌿 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.
