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.

Great self-tanner -- VERY light color
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First of all, I must confess -- I am a self-tanning junkie. Okay -- I said it. I have used MANY, MANY self-tanning products over the years. This was the first time I had purchased this brand, and I was pleased. Pleased. Not thrilled. Just pleased. The product delivers nice, good quality color. It has a pleasant feeling on the skin. Smells lovely. My ONLY complaint is this: the color was not dark or deep, which is the #1 thing I seek in a self-tanner. I want deep, dark color -- I want to appear...well....TANNED! This product simply did not deliver the dark color I was seeking. I would definitely recommend this self-tanner to anyone looking for a LIGHTLY COLORED tanning effect. This product delivers a lightly peachy-colored tan. It dries VERY quickly and evenly.

The best
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve purchased all the best brands of self tanner at Ulta. This is the only brand I’ve used that actually doesn’t have that smell we all hate. Other brands claim to not smell but they always end up smelling, but not this one. And the tan looks so natural and amazing. Repeat buyer and will be putting this on auto ship. I would recommend the lotion however, over the spray. The spray didn’t go on as even as I hoped, but I’ll just switch back to the lotion. Just thought I’d try something different this time. The lotion is amazing.

Don’t buy this Product
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was excited to try this product and brand overall. Product arrived within a week. Per instructions, I shook before spraying. I was shocked when it came out in big wet clumps. The color is very dark and dries quickly. I had big blotches all over my under body and quickly used the glove to blend into my skin. It didn’t blend well so I had blotches everywhere. One week later I wanted to try one more bc I did love the color it left. I was going to do smaller areas so I could blend quickly. I shook the bottle and now the sprayer wouldn’t work. Only small foamy bubbles would come out of the sprayer. I now have a heavy full can that’s worthless. I bought a second product from this company. The face self tanner and it was very dark, almost black. Didn’t blend smoothly or absorb well. Took about 2 days to exfoliate off my skin. Super disappointed. The color it left was beautiful but the consistency of application was messy and blotchy.

This product is unbelievable! There is nothing else like it!!!
I've tried a couple different spray tanners to cut back on tanning beds and be healthy about being bronze. This one goes aboveeeeeeeee and beyond anything I've ever tried. I almost don't want to leave this review so no one buys these and I can keep the secret to myself haha. The mist that comes out of these is like a professional quality tanning spray. It's very fine, almost like a cloud instead of a spray. Which makes it a lotttt easier to get an even coat without any missed spots. The color of this spray is different than anything I've tried too. Most sprays have an orangey brown color but this is a deep greenish brown (green+red=brown) *the red being the pink tones in your skin. I don't mean to say that this comes out greenish, just that it is farrr from the fake orange color I usually see. The other person said they rub theirs in a bit but I found that letting the mist lay where it lands and dry as is gives me a better all over color.

Best tanning spray
This is my favorite tanning spray. I purchase it on auto ship. It’s gives an even realistic tan that is easy to use. The only negative is that some of the spray nozzles clog or are defective but I can usually change them with one the sprays mist.
