Philodendron 'Sun Red'

Philodendron 'Sun Red' is a compact, colour-changing Philodendron with new leaves that open in red, coppery red or orange-red tones before maturing toward darker green. A growing plant can show fresh red growth near the centre, warmer transitional leaves and older green leaves around the outside.

This cultivar has a self-heading habit, forming clustered leaves from a short central stem. Each new leaf changes from red at emergence through warmer transitional tones, then darker and greener once the blade has hardened.

Red new leaves on a compact Philodendron

  • Growth habit: A self-heading Philodendron with clustered leaves and a short central stem.
  • Leaf colour: New growth opens red to copper-red, then matures through warmer tones toward green.
  • Leaf shape: Leaves are broad, smooth and lightly glossy, with enough firmness to hold a tidy outline.
  • Indoor size: Its short-stemmed habit keeps the plant dense, balanced and suited to pot culture.

How Philodendron 'Sun Red' changes colour

Philodendron 'Sun Red' shows its richest colour during active growth. The youngest leaves carry the strongest warm red tones, then deepen gradually as the leaf hardens. A regular sequence of new leaves keeps several colour stages visible on the plant at once.

The central growth point should stay open to light and airflow. If the plant is crowded between taller plants, new leaves may lean or expand unevenly. Rotate the pot regularly and remove dry sheaths once they release naturally.

Care for short-stemmed growth

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light. Gentle morning or late-day sun can be tolerated after acclimation, but harsh direct sun can scorch the leaf surface.
  • Watering: Water when the top 3–5 cm of substrate has dried. Let the root ball rehydrate evenly, then allow air back into the mix before watering again.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with good drainage and air space. Dense, fine substrate keeps the lower roots too wet and increases yellowing risk.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity supports smoother leaf unfurling. A humidifier, grouped plants or a cabinet can help if new leaves stick or tear while opening.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 18–27 °C. Growth slows in cool conditions, especially if the substrate is also wet.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Small, regular feeding is safer than strong doses, which can stress compact root systems.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage and enough weight to keep the plant balanced. Avoid jumping to a much larger pot while the root system is still small.
  • Leaf cleaning: Wipe dust from older leaves gently. Clean leaves receive light more evenly and make pest checks easier.

Growth problems to check early

  • Pale or weak new leaves: Check light level and nutrient supply. Move the plant into brighter indirect light and resume light feeding during active growth.
  • Yellow leaves near the base: Check for wet substrate, poor drainage or an oversized pot. Let the mix dry slightly deeper before the next watering.
  • Stuck new leaves: Check humidity, airflow and root moisture. Dry air combined with irregular watering can make the emerging leaf catch inside the sheath.
  • Brown tips: Look for drying between waterings, fertiliser build-up or cold stress. Flush the substrate if salts have built up.
  • Marked new growth: Inspect the newest leaves first for thrips or mites, because soft red tissue shows damage quickly.

Pet safety for Philodendron 'Sun Red'

Philodendron 'Sun Red' should be kept away from pets and small children. Like other Philodendron, it can contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that may irritate the mouth and digestive tract if chewed or swallowed. Wash your hands after cutting or removing damaged leaves.

Botanical background

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and is native as a genus to tropical parts of the Americas. The genus name combines Greek roots commonly translated as “love” and “tree”, reflecting the tree-associated growth of many species.

Philodendron 'Sun Red' grows as a dense self-heading plant with red to coppery new leaves that mature toward green.

Very nice
Style: Sport
My husband and I both enjoy these soap savers. We don't find them to be too abrasive and I have sensitive skin. It dries between uses and works as expected. Unfortunately, we met a quality issue when the thinner side of his soap bag ripped within a month. Disappointing. I've deducted 2 stars for this reason.

Looked for this for quite a while
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
There are a lot of "Japanese style" exfoliating scrubber "cloth" kind of products around Amazon, and at local grocery and drug stores. Most of them are pretty cheap in construction. One layer, thin, and before long they tend to start coming apart at the edges, leaving long plastic threads everywhere. Strangely, even though they are very thin once you unfold them, they have the ability to retain water droplets in the gaps in the material and stay kind of damp for longer than you might expect. Part of the problem, I think, is that the material is so light that it's difficult to "snap" it well enough to shake the water droplets out of the material. Surface tension holds the tiny droplets between the threads. Anyway, one day I found an exfoliating cloth at the local grocery store, and it was unusually thick and luxurious, and double layered, and nicely sewn at the edges/ends. Although I did not realize at the time that its construction was so unusual. It creates a very thick scrubber full of lather when you scrunch it up, but you can also unfold it and stretch it into a back scrubber. Just like the cheaper versions you can find everywhere, but with a better ability to hold onto lathered soap or body wash, even when it's unfolded. I kept looking for something similar to take with me on trips, because I really liked using it at home. But the cheapo exfoliating cloths I found were all pretty thin and flimsy by comparison. I found a set of cloths that looked kind of similar, but they were very small, and still pretty thin. I looked at the cloth and it had a Cleanlogic tag on it, so I looked for something similar. At the store they had an even bigger/thicker version of Cleanlogic product, with a loop of rope on either end. It's nice for home use, and even easier to use as a huge back scrubber. But I wanted something similar to this moderately thick, stretchy exfoliating cloth that I had found at the store much earlier. Thicker than most of the exfoliating cloths on the market, but still compact enough to pack up in a toiletry kit without taking up too much room. Turns out, it was this. Except it wasn't a three-pack. Haven't found a single-pack. So this may seem a bit steeply priced compared to competing products, but you do get three very substantial cloths that should last a long time. The thing about this exact product is that its thickness and weight allows it to be swung around when it's wet (fold it in half lengthwise first) and you can get most of the moisture out. First, hold it by the ends folded in half, then hold it by the middle and swing it around again for a few seconds, as fast as you can. You'll find it quickly gets much lighter, as the water gets pulled out by centrifugal force. Do a few snaps while holding the middle, and a few snaps while holding the ends together. It will be mostly dry already, and will end up drying just about as quickly as the cheapo plastic cloths do. You may think with the extra thickness that it might be difficult to rinse the soap out when you're done with it. But I haven't found that to be the case. It's about as easy to rinse out as the cheapo variety of exfoliating cloths. Hold it up in front of the shower head, let the water push out the soap and gunk, pull it through your mostly closed hand to wring out the water, and repeat a couple of times. It will be perfectly clean, ready for swinging and snapping the remaining water out. Because of the sewn edges, this won't easily come unraveled or shed, and it's frankly more exfoliating and effective at cleaning anything and everything than the cheapo packs of exfoliating cloths you'll find everywhere. Really glad it had a tag on it with the brand so I could find a new one to travel with. I haven't seen any other brand make them quite this way, after scouring every similar product on Amazon. And yes, the tag is still there even after the cloth has been used extensively. They seem to be pretty durable. The "cloth" form factor is nice because it can scrunch up and be like a sponge, like those poofy body scrubber balls you see everywhere, or fold up or wrap around a hand like an exfoliating glove, or stretch into a back scrubber. But also because unlike thick exfoliating "sponge" form factors that can't change, the cloths have a much better ability to dry out quickly and avoid promoting the growth of bacteria. Very important for something you may need to pack away in luggage for an extended period, shortly after showering.

Smooth skin & travel
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I love these things— great for exfoliation. I like them for travelling as well because they’re much easier to fully wrong out than a typical washcloth or loofa.

Best washcloths for acne prone skin
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these wash cloths for many years. I am someone who suffers from occasional body acne and I feel like these do a good job of removing dead skin and oils from off my body to reduce future skin breakouts.
