  •  The Philodendron ‘Sun Red’ is a vibrant, self-heading tropical beauty that brings a dramatic pop of color to any indoor space. Unlike many climbing Philodendrons, 'Sun Red' grows in a compact, upright mound, making it an ideal choice for tabletops, shelves, and desks.

    The hallmark of the 'Sun Red' is its chameleon-like foliage. New leaves emerge in a brilliant, fiery red. As they age, they transition into a deep burgundy or red-purple before finally maturing into a rich, leathery green. Because it is a self-heading variety, it maintains a tidy, bushy shape and does not require a moss pole or trellis to stay upright.

    Like most Philodendrons, 'Sun Red' can produce a spathe and spadix (the typical "cobra-like" flower). However, it rarely blooms as a houseplant. The true "flowers" are tiny and located on the spadix, tucked inside the colorful leaf-like spathe. Its decorative value remains almost entirely in its stunning, multi-colored leaves.

  • Bright, indirect light. Stronger (indirect) light helps maintain the vibrant red color of the new growth.

    Water when the top 50% of the soil is dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

    A loose, well-draining potting mix. Use a combination of peat moss, perlite, and pine bark.

    65°F – 80°F (18°C – 27°C). Keep away from AC vents and cold winter drafts.

  • Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
