Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is a popular and striking cultivar in the Philodendron family, known for its vibrant red new growth and ease of care.
 
Eye-catching foliage: New leaves unfurl a rich, glossy red, gradually maturing to a deep green while retaining a subtle reddish hue.
Compact size: It's a self-heading plant with a bushy form, making it suitable for smaller spaces like desks, shelves, or windowsills.
Easy to care for: Tolerant of various light conditions, including lower light, and adaptable to moderate humidity, making it a good choice for beginners.
Air-purifying qualities: Like many Philodendrons, it helps filter airborne toxins, improving indoor air quality.
Versatile display: Can be grown in hanging baskets or trained to climb a trellis. 
 
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water when the top 2-3 cm (approximately 1 inch) of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage.
Humidity: Average to higher humidity is preferred. Consider misting regularly or using a pebble tray with water.
Temperature: Prefers average to warm temperatures, ideally between 18-26°C (65-85°F). Protect from cold drafts.
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix, such as an aroid mix containing ingredients like coco coir, orchid bark, and perlite.
Fertilising: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Pruning: Prune to maintain shape, remove damaged leaves, and encourage bushier growth. The best time for pruning is during the active growing season (spring/summer).
Toxicity: Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is toxic to humans and pets if ingested, due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it out of reach of children and animals. 
 
Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a vibrant, relatively low-maintenance houseplant that adds a pop of colour and a touch of the tropics to their home or office. Just remember its toxic nature and take precautions to keep it out of reach of children and pets. 
 
This plant is supplied in a 6cm pot and the plant is approximately 15cm tall, including the pot.
