Variant

Philodendron Red Cherry, often compared to Philodendron 'Sun Red' and 'Prince of Orange', stands out with its unique characteristics. This attractive cultivar is noted for its vibrant and colourful foliage that undergoes a stunning transformation as it matures. The leaves of 'Red Cherry' are broader than 'Sun Red' and exhibit a deep, rich red hue that sets it apart from the more variably coloured 'Prince of Orange'. As the leaves age, they may transition to a deeper green, maintaining a subtle reddish undertone. This plant is perfect for adding a splash of enduring colour to indoor spaces, making it a favoured choice among houseplant enthusiasts seeking a striking and easy-to-care-for ornamental.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Philodendron Red Cherry

Sun: Indirect

Philodendron Red Cherry should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Philodendron Red Cherry will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Philodendron Red Cherry needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Medium

Philodendron Red Cherry will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Caution

Philodendron Red Cherry is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Philodendron Red Cherry, a vibrant and eye-catching variety of the beloved Philodendron family. Known for its glossy, colourful foliage, this plant adds a touch of lively charm to any indoor space, symbolizing vitality, passion, and growth.

The Philodendron Red Cherry features stunning heart-shaped leaves that start off a bright, cherry-red when new, gradually maturing to a deep green with a hint of red. The unique colour transition of the leaves provides a dynamic visual display, making 'Red Cherry' a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to add a splash of colour to their plant collections.

Caring for the Philodendron Red Cherry involves creating an environment that supports its tropical nature. It thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain the vibrancy of its red foliage. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, the intensity of the leaf colour may diminish, turning more uniformly green.

Watering should be consistent, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Like many Philodendrons, the Red Cherry prefers higher humidity, which can be achieved through regular misting, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier nearby. Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent root rot and other water-related issues.

The Philodendron Red Cherry is not just visually appealing; it also embodies the adaptability and enduring beauty of the Philodendron species. Its ability to thrive with minimal care makes it a suitable choice for both novice gardeners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

As your Philodendron Red Cherry grows and flourishes, it becomes more than just a part of your indoor garden—it serves as a living emblem of the beauty of growth and the transformative power of nature. Its lush, colourful foliage can inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the dynamic life cycles within it.
