Philodendron ‘Sun Red’ is a vibrant, self-heading variety that brings bold color and tropical flair to your indoor space. New leaves emerge in shades of bright red, copper, or bronze, then mature into deep green with a reddish tint. Unlike climbing philodendrons, this one forms a tidy clump with broad, upright leaves that make a striking visual impact.

Pro Tip
Rotate the plant every couple of weeks to keep the foliage even and upright. If older leaves fade, snip them to encourage fresh new growth.
-
Light and Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its rich coloration. It can tolerate medium light, but intense direct sun may scorch the new leaves. Place near a window with filtered light for best results.
-
Watering and Care
Water when the top inch of soil begins to feel dry. It likes consistently moist (but not soggy) soil and benefits from a well-draining potting mix. Regularly clean leaves to help them absorb light efficiently.
-
Growth and Size
Sun Red is a self-heading (non-vining) variety that grows in a bushy, upright form. Indoors, it typically reaches 1.5 to 2.5 feet tall and wide with a full, symmetrical shape.
