Philodendron Imperial Red
Notify MePhilodendron Imperial Red is a bold indoor plant with large, glossy leaves that emerge in shades of deep red before maturing to dark green. Its upright, self-heading form keeps it compact and tidy, making it a striking statement plant for modern interiors.
This variety is easy to care for, thriving in bright indirect light but tolerating lower light levels. Plant in free-draining potting mix and keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. It’s well suited to living rooms, offices, or grouped with other tropical foliage for added impact.
Mature size: Typically reaches 80 cm–1.2 m tall and around 80 cm wide.
Trimming: Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base to keep the plant neat.
Fertilising: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Pest Control: Check for mealybugs, scale, and aphids. Wipe leaves and treat promptly if pests appear.
Disease Management: Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. Ensure good airflow to reduce the risk of fungal leaf spots.
