Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ is a bold and dramatic self-heading hybrid admired for its deep burgundy foliage, glossy texture, and regal tropical form. A member of the Araceae family, this variety was bred for its strong colour, upright growth, and exceptional adaptability — a hybrid that perfectly combines elegance with easy maintenance.

The large, elliptical leaves emerge in vibrant shades of bright red or copper, gradually maturing into rich burgundy-green tones that deepen with age. Each leaf is thick, leathery, and polished to a natural shine, arranged symmetrically in a rosette-like pattern around a sturdy central stem. Compact and sculptural, Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ remains tidy as it grows, making it ideal for both home and office spaces where bold colour and structure are desired.

Sophisticated, resilient, and endlessly striking, Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ brings a sense of power and tropical warmth to any curated plant collection.


Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its rich red and burgundy tones. It will tolerate moderate light, but lower light may lead to greener leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the glossy surface and fade the foliage.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 3–4 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause drooping or brown leaf edges. In winter, reduce watering slightly while maintaining humidity.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth between 20–30 °C; avoid temperatures below 16 °C and sudden temperature changes.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Occasional misting or a humidifier will maintain lush, glossy leaves and healthy growth.

Soil and Potting

Use a rich, airy aroid mix, such as compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. This provides good aeration while retaining gentle moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and support new root growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertiliser formulated for foliage plants. Over-fertilising may lead to leaf burn or salt build-up, so feed lightly and consistently. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune older or yellowing leaves at the base to maintain the plant’s form and stimulate fresh growth. Wipe leaves regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their natural shine. Rotate the plant occasionally for even light exposure and symmetrical growth.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate grower, Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ typically reaches 60–90 cm in height and width indoors. Over time, it forms a dense, upright rosette of overlapping leaves that radiate outward, creating a bold, structured display. Mature plants often develop deeper, richer hues, especially under bright, indirect light.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or compacted soil.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Dull colour: Insufficient light.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips or mealybugs; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Developed through hybridisation of tropical Philodendron species native to South America, Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ was bred for its compact growth, intense colouration, and adaptability to indoor environments. It belongs to the same hybrid group as ‘Imperial Green’ and ‘Congo Rojo’, sharing their self-heading growth habit and resilience.

Like all Philodendrons, it is also a powerful natural air purifier, filtering toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air. Its bold red foliage symbolises vitality, confidence, and renewal, making it not just a decorative feature but a mood-lifting focal point in any interior.

Styling Tip

Display Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ in a matte black, terracotta, or white ceramic planter to complement its rich foliage tones. Its upright structure makes it a natural centrepiece for bright living rooms, office corners, or entryways. Pair it with lighter tropicals like Aglaonema ‘White Joy’ or silver-toned species such as Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’ for visual balance. With its deep red hues and polished leaves, this plant adds warmth, texture, and a refined tropical statement to any space.

    This is a really great sunscreen. Leaves your skin moisturized and does not leave a white residue. I always wear sunscreen and this is a winner to me. Smells nice too.

    Is this even real?!!!
    Style: Face, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Ok, I am a sunscreen fanatic and have tried most products on the market and I am SO impressed with this product!!! It is by far the best daily facial sunscreen I've used so far!!! I really can hardly believe it is a (non-nano) zinc base as it leave absolutely NO whitish finish. First of all, it's hard to find a sunscreen with only physical UV blockers (zinc or titanium) without any added chemical blockers. There are a few (including the Korean skincare products) but they ALL leave a white film. This is the FIRST all zinc sunscreen that looks completely natural after application. I still have NO idea how they did this without using nano-zinc!!! Second, the texture and finish are so light and non-greasy that I cannot tell that I put anything on my face. It's fantastic!!! It absorbs right in!! Granted, I do not have oily skin so I cannot speak for someone who does. It isn't drying but also not super moisturizing so if you have dry skin, you might want to use a heavier cream under this product. Third, the smell is light and pleasant. i do not find it overwhelming or distracting. I rather like it. The downsides are (1) it is not inexpensive at about $20/2 oz and (2) it is not sweat resistant (though it suppose that would come at a cost of a more greasy texture). I love love love this sunscreen!!! I only started using it recently so I'll see if it really works well to protect my face from UV exposure... I'll update this later regarding the effectiveness as a sunscreen. Thanks for a fantastic product!!!

    no white cast, super moisturizing, dewy finish, citrus scent
    Style: Face, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Face, Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    I have a shelf of sunscreens. I am trying to find the perfect sunscreen for daily use on my face. I happen to be fair skinned, so if it happens to have a white cast, it isn't too noticeable. But still, I'd like to not even have to worry about it. I also would prefer not to use chemical sunscreens. I often use those on my body, but for my face which is more sensitive- the physical (mineral) sunscreens is better for me. There is NO white cast with this, so definitely fine for darker skin tones if you are looking for a physical sunscreen. This sunscreen is nice. I hot days or days I know where I will be sweating a bit, I don't bother with my expensive skin care routine, since I am likely to sweat it off. This sunscreen offers some skin care goodies above and beyond non nano zinc oxide. So I feel like I am still doing something for my skin, including moisturizing it. According to description, it has antioxidant super plants: --Juanilama: anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant (87% more than vitamin E) properties, and --Fierillo: anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, skin healing, and antioxidant properties; plus.. --Wakame Kelp: reinforce skin defenses again environment, etc --Tazman Pepper: reduces skin inflammation and redness, and --Arabica coffee oil: lubricates skin. regenerates hydrolipid barrier to promote hydration and skin repairing. Smells energizing- like a punch of citrus fruit. It lingers for a little while then seems to dissipate. I can get it near my eyes and they don't get irritated. Kinda surprised it is a strong scent for something that is likely to go on the face. Bottles says no synthetic colors, fragrances or unhealthy ingredients. "Fragrance" is vague here, and although maybe not synthetic, it should be cleared up as to what it is. The company says in answering one of the questions that the fragrance comes from essential oils- if so, they should list the essential oils used. I imagine it is a citrus blend, but essential oils are different than just listing "fragrance". It would be helpful to see exact oils used. Then in another question answered, it was not mentioned that essential oils are used to create fragrance, but that it would be naturally occurring from some of the other ingredients. Which is it? If it is the latter, then the company would be doing themselves a favor by taking the word fragrance out of the ingredient list since not only would it be redundant to keep it in there it could scare off people who are avoiding "fragrance" as a listed ingredient. A product can have a scent due to other ingredients used that have a naturally occurring scent .. and and still be fragrance free. If it is a matter of it being from essential oils.. then that should be listed as well- for better or worse- but at least it is transparent information. Some people have strong reactions to essential oils on their face, whether from scent or from the activity they have. Some dont have reaction. Yet Some have strong reactions to "fragrance" as an added ingredient. Normally I see "fragrance" on a bottle and choose something else, as it typically depicts synthetic, and if it isn't synthetic then it doesn't need to be listed generically as fragrance, but instead specifically as to what the fragrance is derived from. Anyway, I thought I would add that as I am sure there will be potential customers looking at the ingredient list and this may help them one way or another. I hope this review has been helpful to you. If I learn anything new, I will be sure to come back to update.
