Philodendron 'Sun Red'

Philodendron 'Sun Red' is a compact, colour-changing Philodendron with new leaves that open in red, coppery red or orange-red tones before maturing toward darker green. A growing plant can show fresh red growth near the centre, warmer transitional leaves and older green leaves around the outside.

This cultivar has a self-heading habit, forming clustered leaves from a short central stem. Each new leaf changes from red at emergence through warmer transitional tones, then darker and greener once the blade has hardened.

Red new leaves on a compact Philodendron

  • Growth habit: A self-heading Philodendron with clustered leaves and a short central stem.
  • Leaf colour: New growth opens red to copper-red, then matures through warmer tones toward green.
  • Leaf shape: Leaves are broad, smooth and lightly glossy, with enough firmness to hold a tidy outline.
  • Indoor size: Its short-stemmed habit keeps the plant dense, balanced and suited to pot culture.

How Philodendron 'Sun Red' changes colour

Philodendron 'Sun Red' shows its richest colour during active growth. The youngest leaves carry the strongest warm red tones, then deepen gradually as the leaf hardens. A regular sequence of new leaves keeps several colour stages visible on the plant at once.

The central growth point should stay open to light and airflow. If the plant is crowded between taller plants, new leaves may lean or expand unevenly. Rotate the pot regularly and remove dry sheaths once they release naturally.

Care for short-stemmed growth

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light. Gentle morning or late-day sun can be tolerated after acclimation, but harsh direct sun can scorch the leaf surface.
  • Watering: Water when the top 3–5 cm of substrate has dried. Let the root ball rehydrate evenly, then allow air back into the mix before watering again.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with good drainage and air space. Dense, fine substrate keeps the lower roots too wet and increases yellowing risk.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity supports smoother leaf unfurling. A humidifier, grouped plants or a cabinet can help if new leaves stick or tear while opening.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 18–27 °C. Growth slows in cool conditions, especially if the substrate is also wet.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Small, regular feeding is safer than strong doses, which can stress compact root systems.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage and enough weight to keep the plant balanced. Avoid jumping to a much larger pot while the root system is still small.
  • Leaf cleaning: Wipe dust from older leaves gently. Clean leaves receive light more evenly and make pest checks easier.

Growth problems to check early

  • Pale or weak new leaves: Check light level and nutrient supply. Move the plant into brighter indirect light and resume light feeding during active growth.
  • Yellow leaves near the base: Check for wet substrate, poor drainage or an oversized pot. Let the mix dry slightly deeper before the next watering.
  • Stuck new leaves: Check humidity, airflow and root moisture. Dry air combined with irregular watering can make the emerging leaf catch inside the sheath.
  • Brown tips: Look for drying between waterings, fertiliser build-up or cold stress. Flush the substrate if salts have built up.
  • Marked new growth: Inspect the newest leaves first for thrips or mites, because soft red tissue shows damage quickly.

Pet safety for Philodendron 'Sun Red'

Philodendron 'Sun Red' should be kept away from pets and small children. Like other Philodendron, it can contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that may irritate the mouth and digestive tract if chewed or swallowed. Wash your hands after cutting or removing damaged leaves.

Botanical background

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and is native as a genus to tropical parts of the Americas. The genus name combines Greek roots commonly translated as “love” and “tree”, reflecting the tree-associated growth of many species.

Philodendron 'Sun Red' grows as a dense self-heading plant with red to coppery new leaves that mature toward green.

Replaced Vaseline - Far superior product
I received this as a gift a few months ago and it's all I use now. I use it on my lips and on my neck wrinkles. Do not leave it in a warm environment, like hot car or pants pockets, it will get very soft. If it does get soft, i just dab it on ranther than rolling/wiping on. Also its best to roll it down when not in use, but not necessary. I used to be addicted to Vaseline products for my lips and this is far superior in many ways.

Not really good as a lip balm
It is way too melty or liquidy when applying. It's like putting oil on your lips. No staying power. I actually ended using it more as a skin moisturizer like a lotion. It's pretty good for that. I haven't even tried taking it with me in my pocket as I think it'll turn to a liquid like coconut oil down here in sunny hot Florida. .

What I needed!
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
My skin it very sensitive and dry which makes finding a good soap difficult. I'm also not able to use exfoliating products as it is painful and/or damages my skin but a wash cloth isn't enough. This soap is great in that there are very few ingredients and they are all natural so no skin reactions. It is actually soothing. The whole oatmeal in it exfoliates but also softens so no pain or skin damage. Definitely plan to continue ordering this product.

A miracle for those with eczema.
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
I recently bought the Goat's milk soap with oatmeal and honey. Let me just say that I LOVE this soap. For YEARS I have been trying all kinds of naturally derived soaps in search of a keeper, and I finally found it. A big thank you to The Soap Haven. I have been dealing with dishydrotic eczema on my hands and fingers for about five years now, and finding products that don't trigger outbreaks can be like playing with fire. I have found soaps that do just that, and I have find soaps that are mild enough not to do that, but I have never before used a soap that actually soothes my skin. This soap does that,it SOOTHES. Every time I use this soap, my eczema is almost healed and I am not exaggerating. I have had awful break outs, and after a few minutes of lathering with this soap, the itching goes away entirely, the redness subsides, swelling goes down and it has consistently been this way. Also, this soap leaves my skin feeling clean and comfortable - Not oily, not dry or tight, just really comfortable. Anyways, I am just so impressed and thankful, this soap is miraculous. Please don't discontinue or change this formula. You have a customer for life. Oh, and another plus, I live in Oregon, so I am proud to be giving my business to a business like this one. P.S. I read a lot of reviews that gave one star for the smell, or said it's not unscented, well it is fragrance free, the only thing that you can smell is the combination of honey, goatsmilk, and oats-and that is good! It is evidence that this is all natural soap with the ingredients it claims to have with no fragrance added for appeal. Now, in my opinion, this comes with the territory, if you want something that smells like a perfumery, then go with the synthetic stuff, but if you want all-natural, free of essential oils and parfum, then embrace the less popular smells of nature.
