Philodendron 'Imperial Red'

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' is a self-heading Philodendron grown for glossy leaves that open red to bronze and deepen as they mature. The plant forms a central body, with new leaves rising from the centre and older leaves spreading outward to create a full, layered shape.

New leaves provide the strongest red colour, often opening in red, coppery or burgundy tones before settling into darker green-red foliage. Steady root health, warmth and bright filtered light help the plant keep producing new leaves.

Red new growth and rosette-form habit

  • Leaf colour: New foliage opens red to bronze, then matures into deeper red-green tones.
  • Growth habit: Self-heading Philodendron with a central stem and outward leaf spread.
  • Leaf finish: Smooth, glossy blades with a firm texture once mature.
  • Support needs: Grown as a freestanding plant with no pole support requirement.
  • Indoor behaviour: Best in bright indirect light, warm temperatures and well-drained substrate.

How the colour develops with each new leaf

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' develops colour through each new leaf cycle. Fresh growth is usually the brightest part of the plant, while older leaves become deeper and more subdued. This gives mature plants a layered look, with younger leaves standing out from the darker outer foliage.

The plant grows from a compact central stem with overlapping petiole bases. Good airflow around that centre helps keep the lower growth clean. Removing fully yellowed old leaves is fine, but cutting healthy lower leaves just to expose the stem can weaken the plant’s energy production and reduce the full shape.

As with other self-heading Philodendron cultivars, the roots need a breathable mix. A dense, wet substrate can cause lower leaf yellowing even when the top of the plant still looks firm. Bright indirect light supports active growth, while strong direct sun can scorch or bleach the glossy surface.

Care for active self-heading growth

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light for steady new growth. Avoid intense direct sun, especially through hot glass.
  • Watering: Water deeply once the top few centimetres of substrate have dried. Let excess water drain completely.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, perlite, pumice and organic matter. The mix should hold light moisture while staying airy.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18°C. Cold roots and wet soil can quickly damage the lower stem.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity supports smooth new leaves. Very dry air can contribute to brown edges during active growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during the growing season. Reduce feeding when the plant slows down.
  • Cleaning: Wipe glossy leaves with a soft damp cloth so dust does not dull the surface or block light.
  • Repotting: Repot into a slightly larger pot once roots are crowded. Keep the central stem at its previous planting depth.

Leaf colour, stem and root warning signs

  • Weak colour on new leaves: Check overall growth quality first. Very low light can reduce leaf size and slow new leaf production.
  • Yellow lower leaves: A single older leaf can be normal, but several yellowing leaves suggest too much moisture, compacted substrate or low light.
  • Brown patches: Crispy patches can come from direct sun or drought stress. Soft dark patches suggest wet, cold conditions or tissue damage.
  • Soft base: Inspect the roots and lower stem immediately. This often develops when the plant is planted too deeply or kept too wet.
  • Pest damage: Look for fine stippling, sticky residue or distorted new leaves. Check petioles, leaf backs and the central growth area.

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' grows best with consistent watering, warmth and a breathable mix. Regular rotation keeps the central growth balanced, and a stable pot helps prevent the plant from leaning as the leaves become larger.

Safety with Philodendron 'Imperial Red'

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' is not pet-safe. Leaves and stems contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat if ingested. Sap may irritate skin, so wash hands after pruning and keep removed leaves away from pets and children.

DeCoster origin and cultivar background

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and is native across tropical America as a genus. The name comes from Greek elements meaning “loving” and “tree”, linked to the tree-associated growth of many Philodendron species. Philodendron 'Imperial Red' was selected by Paul DeCoster in Melle, Belgium, from Bamboo Nursery seedlings of unknown parentage.

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' forms a full freestanding plant with red-toned new growth and darker mature foliage around the central crown.

Satisfied
I’ve been hearing all about the benefits of snail mucin for skin care, and now after trying Jasclair snail mucin hydrating serum for post derma-planing, it is easy to understand what all the hype is about when it comes to snail mucin. After derma-planing, it is super hydrating and soothing to put on, and my skin retains that moisture long after. But although it’s great for after derma-planing, it works just as well as a daily serum. For anyone wondering - yes it is a little bit slimy, but it’s more just out of the ordinary for what one is used to with a serum, not anything excessive. The smooth hydrated texture of my skin afterwards it’s perfect for makeup application and this serum works well underneath my make up, at least in part because it absorbs so well. A little bit goes a long way and this is now a must have as part of my beauty routine. I would highly recommend this snail serum after derma-planing and overall skin rejuvenation.

Great results
Love using this item at night. It’s kind of thick but if put on before bed it is all soaked in by morning. Face is so smooth after using this product before bed. Easy to use and completely clear in color.

The Snail Mucin hydrating serum is soothing and effective, ideal for use after dermabrasion or other skin treatments. It deeply moisturizes, promotes skin healing, and helps reduce redness and irritation. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, it leaves the skin soft, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
