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.

Truth speaks loud and clear!
Format: Kindle
I am very glad I read this book! Many Christians are fearful of the idea of a message from someone who no longer lives on the earth. I was encouraged to know the difference between this conversation and necromancy. Mary says that the Holy Spirit is who plans their conversation and Matthew does not call up the spirits of the dead. Everything Mary says in this book is in allignment with the truth if the Gospel. I encourage all to read this book with a careful watch to see that it does not lead anyone away from Truth. I loved her honesty and her wisdom and her relationship with Jesus. This book helps to bring people closer to their Father God and to Jesus. Thank you Matthew for your obedience to God and courage to write this book!

Mary Magdalene
Format: Kindle
Another great book from Matthew Robert Payne translated from an Interview with Mary Magdalene. .Mary gives sound advice on how to devolope our walk with Jesus and how important it is to be serving God and doing what he called us to do with our lives She talks about which books to read in the bible and recommends other authors Mary is very open and honest about her life and how she met Jesus and her reaction to meeting him and falling deeply in love with him She had a lot of men in her life and many advantages in life because of her work as a high class prostitue. But one meeting with Jesus changed all that One look of pure love from Jesus and she was undone She was a very Intelligent woman and a very astute business women The first time she heard Jesus speak was when he quoted Jeremiah 9 23 and how Jesus took the scripture apart and described how been wise mighty and wealthy isn't the answer. I found this a very interesting book and just want to get to know more about this wonderful saint Its one of those hard to put down books and when finished leaves you wanting to know more and more about her Highly Recommend this book to others Christian and non christian can benefit from reading this.

Mary Magdalene Speaks from Heaven: A Divine Revelation
Format: Kindle
Even though I read Book 2 before reading this one, I was equally enthralled by both. It’s difficult to find words to acknowledge the thrill of listening to someone whose life was full of sin and totally turned around when she heard the words of Jesus and saw his love for humanity! This conversation is so real and heart-wrenching at the same time. Step inside the pages of her life and feel the emptiness of having all the wealth that you could desire and yet feel completely empty and worthless inside. That was exactly how she felt (and how many of us feel today if we are willing to admit it). Simultaneously, the reader finds comfort and camaraderie in this new found friend who comes alive and jumps out of the pages of the Bible to greet us! This is a book that you surely will not put down until the end. A special bonus includes her description of all that awaits us in Heaven. Enjoy!
