Description
Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ is a colorful tropical houseplant known for its glossy foliage and vibrant new growth. New leaves often emerge in shades of red, orange, copper, or bronze before maturing to deeper green tones. Its upright growth habit and bold color make it a great choice for plant stands, shelves, offices, and bright indoor spaces.
Light Requirements
For best color and growth, place Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light will help support stronger color and fuller growth. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root issues. Philodendrons prefer lightly moist soil, but they should not sit in standing water.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant prefers warm indoor temperatures and average to higher humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 60°F. Higher humidity can help support healthy foliage and steady growth.
Pet Safety
Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ is not considered pet-safe and can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. It is best to keep it out of reach of pets that may chew on plants.
Best For
Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ is a great choice for plant owners who want an easy-care tropical plant with warm-colored new growth, glossy foliage, and a clean indoor look.
