About this plant
Philodendron Red Leaf is a red-toned form of Philodendron erubescens, the blushing philodendron from Colombia. It grows long, glossy, arrow-shaped leaves that emerge deep red to burgundy and keep reddish undersides and stems as they mature to dark green. It climbs and is usually grown on a moss pole.
It does well in Dubai interiors. It handles AC rooms, tolerates medium light and grows steadily. Bright, indirect light gives the strongest red color and bigger leaves, while direct summer sun through glass can scorch them. Let the top few centimeters dry before watering, especially in large pots, which hold moisture for longer.
It works as a floor plant in living rooms, offices, receptions and hotel interiors. We offer it at around 70 cm and 100 cm, in a nursery pot or a designer pot.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Philodendron Red Leaf healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright to medium, indirect light; brighter light gives redder leaves. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 7–10 days in summer when the top 3–4 cm is dry; every 2 weeks in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: Airy aroid mix with bark and perlite. Feeding: Balanced liquid feed at half strength once a month from spring to autumn. Common mistake: Watering a large pot on a fixed schedule even when the soil is still damp. Where it works: Living rooms, offices, receptions and hotel interiors.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats, dogs and horses (insoluble calcium oxalates; can cause oral irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth, tongue and lips, drooling, vomiting (not horses) and difficulty swallowing; listed under Philodendron spp.).
