Philodendron Imperial Red

About the plant:
Philodendrons, or simply philodendrons, are plants from the Araceae family. It comes from the rainforests of Central and South America. Imperial Red catches everyone's eye with its gorgeous, robust red leaves.
Unlike the others already mentioned, this robust perennial herb has an interesting way of life. In tropical America, it is commonly found in treetops, on rocks or in swamps. We can ensure a similar life for them in domestic conditions as well, if we give them some support in the flowerpot, which they could also climb on, e.g. a coconut stick, otherwise we let them flow freely from, for example, a shelf.
An interesting feature of the life of philodendrons is the temperature reached during pollination - scientists measured an incredible 43 °C.

It is propagated by top or stem cuttings, which are best cut in spring. If the plant is mature enough, even a cut will benefit it and make it thicker. Let the cuttings take root in water or in a mixture of peat and sand at approx. 20 - 25 °C.

problemy Common problems

  • Overwatering: Too much water can cause root rot, yellowing and leaf drop.

  • Tearing on the edges of the leaves: Too moist substrate, too much watering.
