The Philodendron Cherry Red is a dazzling hybrid variety that stands out with its vibrant red new leaves, which mature to a rich green. A member of the tropical aroid family, this plant originates from the lush rainforests of Central and South America, where it grows as an epiphyte or climber. Its bold coloration and easy-care nature make it an excellent choice for adding color and life to your home or office. With its ability to adapt to a range of indoor environments, the Cherry Red Philodendron is perfect for beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts alike.
Best Locations For Growing Cherry Red Philodendron
The Cherry Red Philodendron thrives in bright, indirect light, making it ideal for living rooms, offices, or bedrooms. Place it near an east-facing window or slightly shaded south-facing window. Due to its toxicity, keep it out of reach of pets and children.
Cherry Red Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
This plant prefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth and coloration. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves. While it can tolerate low light, prolonged exposure may lead to leggy growth and reduced vibrancy in the foliage.
Cherry Red Philodendron Care
Plant the Cherry Red Philodendron in a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Repot every 2–3 years or when roots become crowded, using a pot slightly larger than the current one. Clean its leaves with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and maintain their striking appearance.
Watering Cherry Red Philodendron
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot. During the dormant season (fall and winter), reduce watering frequency. For best results, maintain moderate humidity by misting the plant, using a humidifier, or placing it on a pebble tray.
Feeding Cherry Red Philodendron
Feed every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half the recommended label strength. In fall and winter, reduce feeding to once a month. Periodically flush the soil to prevent salt buildup and maintain healthy growth.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
