Philodendron 'El Choco Red' (Philodendron rubrijuvenile)

Philodendron 'El Choco Red' is Philodendron rubrijuvenile, an accepted Philodendron species from Colombia. It is grown for velvety green upper leaf surfaces and red to burgundy tones on juvenile leaf backs, with the strongest colour usually visible while the leaf is young.

The plant grows as a climbing aroid with nodes that can produce aerial roots. A textured support, steady warmth and higher humidity help the stem anchor and allow the leaves to become larger and more defined.

Velvety green leaves with red juvenile backs

  • Species and origin: Accepted Philodendron species native to Colombia.
  • Foliage: Velvety green upper surfaces with red to burgundy tones on young leaf backs.
  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with aerial roots at the stem nodes.
  • Growing conditions: Warm, humid conditions and an airy mix help roots stay active and new velvet leaves unfurl cleanly.
  • Support response: Leaves usually become larger and more defined when the stem can climb.

Colombian origin of Philodendron rubrijuvenile

Philodendron rubrijuvenile Croat & R.Kaufmann was published in Aroideana 45(1): 214 in 2022 and is accepted as native to Colombia, where it grows primarily in the wet tropical biome. Indoors, keep it in bright filtered light, warm root conditions, higher humidity and a lightly moist, airy substrate.

The velvety blade surface marks more easily than thick glossy Philodendron foliage. Keep water directed into the substrate rather than over the velvet leaves, and let new foliage unfurl without handling. The red underside is a juvenile-growth feature, so individual leaves can soften in colour as they mature.

Warmth, humidity and support for velvet foliage

  • Light: Give bright indirect light, around 10,000–20,000 lux; strong direct sun can mark the velvety leaf surface.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 30–50% of the mix has dried, then let excess water drain fully.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a modest moisture buffer.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to hold the climbing stem and support securely.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the support becomes unstable or the substrate starts breaking down. Move up gradually to keep the root zone airy.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% for smoother leaf expansion and better aerial-root activity.
  • Temperature: Keep at 18–29°C and protect the plant from temperatures below 15°C.
  • Support: Train the stem onto a moss pole, tree-fern-style pole or plank while the internodes are still flexible.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser at low to moderate strength during active growth.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm and supported. Supported stems can produce larger leaves over time.
  • Placement: Place it where the velvet leaves have room to open without rubbing against glass, walls, shelves or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping.
  • Propagation: Root stem cuttings with at least one node in warm, humid conditions.

Leaf marks, stalled unfurling and pest checks

  • Crispy patches: Check for direct sun, dry root pockets or low humidity around emerging leaves.
  • Stalled leaf unfurling: Increase humidity and check that the root ball is not drying too hard between waterings.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Inspect the root zone for cold, wet mix or poor drainage.
  • Small new leaves: Check light, support and root health. Undersized growth often appears when the stem cannot climb or the roots are weak.
  • Fine speckling or dull patches: Check leaf undersides, petiole bases, cataphylls and new growth for thrips, mites, mealybugs and scale.

Ingestion safety

Philodendron rubrijuvenile is toxic if ingested. It contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue and throat. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children, and wash hands after pruning or taking cuttings if sap contacts the skin.

Rubrijuvenile and El Choco Red

Philodendron is an Araceae genus whose name comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”, reflecting the climbing or tree-associated habit of many species. The species epithet rubrijuvenile refers to the red colour of immature leaves. The plant circulated as Philodendron sp. 'El Choco Red' before it was described as Philodendron rubrijuvenile.

Choose Philodendron 'El Choco Red' for velvety green leaves and red-toned juvenile leaf backs on a Colombian climbing Philodendron.

I love this toothpaste! I have tried several hydroxyappetite pastes and this is by far my favorite. My teeth feel clean, I have zero sensitivity issues anymore and my dental check ups are very good.

Great book that is very hard to sit down!
Format: Paperback
As someone deeply interested in frequency therapy and holistic health, I found The Frequencies of Rifing by Marcello Allegretti to be an exceptional resource that stands out for its depth, clarity, and organization. This book is a treasure trove of information, making it an essential guide for anyone using Rife machines or exploring electromagnetic frequency applications. What sets this book apart is its highly informative content. It compiles an impressive collection of over 7,000 frequency sets, covering everything from human body organs and pathogens to diseases, homeopathic products, minerals, vitamins, and even chakras. The inclusion of frequencies from various sources, such as Royal Rife, Hulda Clark, and others, alongside experimental sets, ensures a broad and versatile reference that caters to both beginners and seasoned practitioners. I particularly appreciated the detailed notes accompanying each entry, which specify the frequency in Hz, the organ or condition targeted, and recommended exposure times. These details make the book not only informative but also highly practical for real-world application. The charts and tables are a highlight of this book. They are meticulously organized, reliable, and easy to navigate, thanks to the thoughtful categorization by subject matter. Unlike other resources where frequencies are listed alphabetically, making cross-referencing a chore, this guide groups related frequencies together, streamlining the process of finding the right program for a specific need. For example, searching for frequencies related to “eyesight” or “vision” is a breeze, as they’re consolidated in one section, regardless of the terminology used in different databases. This level of organization saves time and enhances the usability of the book, whether you’re programming a Spooky2 device or another Rife machine. The overall presentation of the book is equally impressive. Spanning over 270 full-color pages, it’s visually appealing and well-structured, with a clear table of contents that facilitates quick access to relevant sections. The layout is intuitive, making it easy to locate specific frequencies or explore related topics like magnetotherapy or light/color therapies. While some have noted that the font size in earlier editions was small, I found the formatting in the latest edition to be readable and well-suited for practical use. In conclusion, The Frequencies of Rifing is a must-have for anyone serious about frequency therapy. Its comprehensive scope, reliable charts, and exceptional organization make it an invaluable tool for both novice and experienced users of Rife technology. This book has earned a permanent spot next to my Rife machine, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding and application of frequency-based healing.
