Description
Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ is a bold, self-heading Philodendron known for its glossy leaves and rich red to burgundy new growth. As the leaves mature, they deepen into dark green with red-toned stems, giving the plant a full, dramatic look. Its upright growth habit makes it a great choice for decorative pots, plant stands, offices, and bright indoor spaces.
Light Requirements
For best color and growth, place Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light will help support fuller growth and stronger red tones in new leaves. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Watering
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ prefers lightly moist soil but does not like to sit in soggy conditions. Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root rot.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant prefers warm indoor temperatures and moderate to higher humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 60°F. Higher humidity can help support larger leaves and healthier new growth.
Pet Safety
Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ is not considered pet-safe and can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets and children.
Best For
Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ is best for plant owners who want an easy-care tropical houseplant with glossy foliage, rich red new growth, and a bold upright shape.
