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.

Worx very well!
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
Worx very well. ;) More power than I expected from a 20v cordless machine. And with the 4Ahr battery it comes with, I was able to do the drive, walks, and patio without having to change batteries. I own 2 Worx string trimmers, chainsaw, hedge trimmer, drill impact driver, and leaf blower. Love them all.

will work, not for heavy duty
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
Unbiased review. Box came heavily damaged, suspect previously opened item but not used. The contents seemed fine. Assembly was easy with directions. The battery power supply button, to dictate how much power is left, doesn't work well. This edger will work but the power to the blade is about 2/3 my electric model. I suggest using something different at first, then use this model to keep up. Battery power life is average. My opinion is the price is high for what you get. If the power matched my cheaper electric model then it would be easy to pay this price. Durability will come with time and I will post if this changes.

Right tool for the money
Style: Lawn Edger w/(1) 4.0 Ah Battery
Very impressed with this WORX Cordless Lawn Edger. My driveway have never been edged in over 30 years, this edger handled the job with ease, made a pass at one inch and then two inches. My driveway is 80 feet long, after the two passes I was left with one bar of battery power, great tool for the price. I would definitely recommend this product to any home owner that maintains their own yard.

Cute little bug that does its job. Good value.
Size: 17" (2 x 4.0Ah)
Not bad for the price. Pretty easy to set up (only user stupidity gave me any issues). Worked well for my first cut. Lasted about 32 minutes. I'm gonna give the batteries a more significant charge and try again, though I did charge for over 12 hours and the lights were solid green. So not sure what's going on there. I don't understand how "user technique" applies here, though I did hit a lot of hidden sticks. Could have burned through more energy? Idk. But it did handle those sticks like a champ! I made sure to get all the big ones out of the way, but there were some small ones and it just ran em right over good as any gas mower. I would probably play pickup sticks a little longer beforehand next time, but I was a little pressed for energy today. Anyways, irrespective of the actual function of the machine, I prefer this dramatically over either wider or self-propelled models. Self-propulsion can be very annoying when trying to get around difficult terrain or obstacles. I also enjoy the exercise! The small form factor is very nice again for obstacles or weaving between objects. It also is nice and light and easy to push. After 30+ minutes of mowing I'm not even remotely sore. I also enjoyed just getting to smell the fresh cut grass rather than belching gas smoke! I'm looking forward to low maintenance on this lil guy. The blades seem pretty well made, and I will be keeping an eye on them for wear and tear. I had a nice day outside in perfect weather with this little bug, and can recommend it if you're specifically looking for a smaller mower that lasts 30-40 mins on a charge and can deal with a push mower.
