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.

Fun, enticing dog toy. As stated in description it won’t hold up for aggressive chewers
Color: Blue
Rating this based on description. My dog loved this toy. It was smaller than I had pictured in my head, but that was on me. I did read the description ahead of time, which clearly states this is not for aggressive chewers. My dog is trained not to rip toys apart so I wanted to give this a shot, but i guess just her jaw strength and teeth were too much. She carried it everywhere. I turned it on periodically. The movements are small, but enough for her to be captivated with the toy. It did mostly survive for about a day before I needed to take it away due to the Velcro opening. Once it started to pull apart she did chew a piece of the Velcro off. It might be helpful with a flap over design covering the Velcro. I have a singing Santa decoration like this where the Velcro is covered up and I have to pull it back a little to get to the Velcro opening. The gaps on the sides of the closure are a bit to large making it tempt my dog to pull and open it up. I wish there was a more durable option that could hold up to aggressive chewers, but this product was clear about that in the description. I think the opening to the batteries could use some improvement. Granted I do not have the perfect answer to fix this, but I am also not a toy designer.

A Toy Ball for All Seasons!
Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count, Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count
Oh my gosh! I’m so happy to find the almost exact ball my 5 1/2 pound 9 month old Morkie, Charlie, that mommy lost at the campgrounds! It was his favorite toy and although he has others, he loved this one above all others, so to find another one was an answer to my prayers. The difference is so minor and in a good way. It is very durable as Charlie has very sharp teeth, but this one is just a bit softer making it easier to hang on to playing fetch. But for Charlie, the size is the same, the squeekiness is the same, the color is the same (yes they can see some colors) and he went into a jumping frenzy when I took it out of the package and the price was unbelievably inexpensive for such a high quality toy! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Good mommy! ( I’m ordering another one as a back up, jic!)

Great investment.
Style: Small Ball, Size: 2 Count
Dogs love them. Durable. Chew worthy for a beagle and a German shepherd. You cannot smell the flavor imparted but the pups definitely can. Always purchase the amount you need so each dog can have one. .

Bacon and a Ball? Can life get any better?
Style: Small Ball, Size: 3 Count
Come on.. these balls are the best. They smell like bacon, yes, they really do. They are durable and squeak. Upon aggressive play, the squeak will die out but the ball will still be useable.

She LOVES this ball
Style: Small Ball, Size: 1 Count
Our dog likes toys, but this ball is now her favorite ball. She even took it to bed with her last night. Our dog is 65 pounds, but she likes smaller toys so I ordered the small ball. It’s a good size. It’s nice and soft and squeaks. She seems to kills the squeaker right away, but she didn’t with this ball. It seems to be the least amount of money I’ve spent on a toy for her and it’s her favorite. I ordered another one just to have on hand. This toy is a great bargain!
