Philodendron rubrijuvenile, commonly known as 'El Choco Red,' is a stunning species admired for its striking bright red cataphylls and leaf undersides. With dark, velvety, heart-shaped leaves, it closely resembles Philodendron luxurians, but its unique coloration sets it apart. Native to the tropical rainforests of Ecuador, this plant brings a touch of exotic beauty to any indoor plant collection.
Native to: Philodendron rubrijuvenile is native to Ecuador, where it thrives in the humid, shaded environments of tropical rainforests.
Growth Habit: Philodendron rubrijuvenile has a scrambling growth habit, meaning it tends to spread horizontally or climb with support. Providing a moss pole or trellis can help guide its growth and showcase its beautiful foliage.
Water: Water your Philodendron rubrijuvenile when the top 3 cm of substrate is dry. It's important to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Using a well-draining potting mix will help prevent root rot and support healthy growth.
Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage its delicate leaves, so it’s best to place it near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit room where it can receive indirect sunlight throughout the day.
Humidity: High humidity levels between 60% and 80% are ideal for Philodendron rubrijuvenile. While it can grow outside of a terrarium or cabinet, enhancing humidity by grouping plants together or placing it in a humid room like a bathroom or kitchen will help it thrive and maintain its vibrant colors.
Temperature: Maintain a stable temperature range of 18°C to 26°C for optimal growth. This Philodendron is sensitive to cold and drafts, so keep it away from windows or doors where it might be exposed to sudden temperature changes.
