Philodendron 'Red Sun'

🔥🌞 Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ (fil-oh-DEN-dron RED SUN) 🌞🔥

Also known as: Red Sun Philodendron, Hybrid Philodendron

This striking hybrid makes a bold statement with its fiery red-orange new leaves that mature to deep green, often keeping hints of warm bronze. Compact, upright, and colorful, ‘Red Sun’ is a favorite among collectors who love vibrant foliage without sacrificing ease of care.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Bright, indirect light helps bring out its vivid red tones. Can adapt to medium light, though color intensity may fade. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch tender new leaves.
💧 Water – Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Keep evenly moist but never soggy. Reduce watering slightly in winter.
🌡️ Humidity – Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50%+). Protect from dry air and drafts. Ideal temps: 65–85°F (18–29°C).
🌱 Growth – Upright, self-heading growth habit. Moderate speed, typically reaching 1–2 feet tall indoors. Prune older leaves to encourage fresh growth.

📊 Difficulty: Easy to Intermediate (resilient, but brightest colors require consistent light and humidity).

🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Contains calcium oxalate crystals that may irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
To keep the foliage glowing red, give it bright indirect light and rotate the plant regularly. Avoid letting it become rootbound for too long — fresh soil boosts color vibrancy.
