Philodendron Red Cherry

Size: 12cm nursery pot

☀️ - Prefers bright, indirect light to encourage strong colouration in new leaves. Too little light will cause slower growth and duller foliage, while direct sun can scorch the tender new growth.

💧 - Water when most of the soil feels dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, reducing watering slightly in winter. Always allow excess water to drain away to avoid root rot.

🌡️ - Thrives in warm indoor temperatures between 18-26°C and should not be exposed to temperatures below 13°C. Prefers moderate to high humidity for optimal growth but will tolerate average household conditions.

🪴 - Repot every 1-2 years in spring, moving up just one pot size. Use a chunky, well-draining, peat-free mix with perlite or bark for aeration. 

🐾 - Toxic to pets.

This compact hybrid is admired for its vibrant new growth that emerges in shades of cherry-red to deep burgundy before maturing into glossy green. Its upright habit and colourful foliage make it an eye-catching feature in smaller spaces or grouped plant displays. As with many Philodendrons, it is resilient and adaptable, thriving in typical indoor conditions when given the right balance of light and moisture.
