Introducing the Vibrant Philodendron Sun Red
The Philodendron Sun Red is a spectacular plant that brings a burst of fiery colour to any plant collection. Its new leaves emerge in brilliant shades of red and orange, creating a stunning contrast against the deeper green mature foliage. This dynamic colour transformation ensures the plant remains a captivating focal point throughout its growth. It is a resilient and relatively fast-growing variety, making it a perfect choice for both seasoned enthusiasts and beginners looking for a striking, low-maintenance statement piece.
Ideal Light and Water for Stunning Colour
To maintain its spectacular sunrise hues, this philodendron requires bright, indirect light. A spot that receives gentle morning sun is perfect for intensifying its red pigmentation. However, you must protect it from the harsh afternoon sun, which can damage its beautiful leaves. When watering, always check the soil moisture first. Provide a thorough watering only when the top layer of soil feels dry. This plant prefers consistent moisture but will not tolerate sitting in waterlogged soil, which can quickly lead to root problems.
The Perfect Soil Mix for Lush Growth
For optimal health, plant your Sun Red in a rich, well-draining potting mix. We recommend a blend of high-quality potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. This combination ensures the roots receive the perfect balance of moisture, nutrients, and vital oxygen. Adding a moss pole or other support for the plant to climb on will encourage larger leaf development and a more impressive, vertical display. This simple addition mimics its natural climbing habit and promotes overall vitality.
Easy Care for Lasting Beauty
Caring for your Philodendron Sun Red is refreshingly straightforward. It adapts well to average household humidity levels, though it will appreciate occasional misting. Feed it with a general-purpose liquid fertiliser once a month during the spring and summer to support its vigorous growth and vibrant colour production. Simply wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth every few weeks to remove dust and keep them looking glossy and healthy. This also helps the plant absorb more light efficiently.
