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.

Excellent Handbook!
Format: Paperback
This is a great book for anyone from beginner to seasoned activist. Kazu Haga breaks down Kingian Nonviolence and other justice and healing modalities in a way that makes them very accessible to a wide array of readers. I plan to give this to several elder activists - and my 14 year old niece. Haga breaks down the Six Principles of Kingian Nonviolence, Restorative Justice/Practices (RP), separates & defines four types of conflict as well as other clarifying enumerations of large concepts. As an RP practitioner, I found his handling of restorative work to be excellent, and I found the Kingian principles revelatory and beautiful. Kingian Nonviolence dispels the myth that nonviolence is passivity "Nonviolence is not about what not to do. It is about what you are going to do", and has clear steps toward justice and conflict work that have proven efficacy. Haga's handling of nuance and contradiction is unique and powerful, as well as his personal approach to understanding alternate perspectives (listening to right wing radio on regular basis - with an open mind -for instance). More than one thing can be true at the same time, we can expand to hold contradiction, and still seek accountability and healing. The clarity of why shaming and punishment doesn't work for preventing future harm, or healing harm that has occurred is present not only in the concepts in the book, but his personal experience via years of offering trainings in prisons. There is still a lot of resistance to RP and nonviolent approaches to harm - especially in Law Enforcement and Corrections, and I think the accessibility and clarity in this book are useful to help naysayers possibly see the light of why these healing and justice practices ultimately protect us all.

This is the one
Format: Paperback
If you read one book this year about how to deal with conflict, this is the one. His language is crisp, his examples simple to understand, his reasoning is easy to follow. Best of all, he interprets Dr. King's Philosophy of Nonviolence through his own, hard-won experience with organizing in Oakland, CA, Occupy Wall Street and myriad other struggles. All that experience has taught him that Dr. King was right to focus on relationship building. Kazu asks the hard questions, toughs out the answers, learns from myriad mistakes and shares his hard-won lessons with us. He also references some great resources. I gave this book 5 stars. Normally I would have awarded 4 stars, because there are some typos sprinkled throughout the book. However, I added back that star because the book is so very well-written, absolutely authentic to the Kingian Nonviolence curriculum, and urgently useful NOW. Kingian Nonviolence (not non-violence) is more useful and effective than any other strategy, for the long-term, and often for the short term as well. Let's build this world of Beloved Community. Thank you Kazu, Dr. Lafayette, and Dr. King, for giving us a head start.

The Inner Game of World Changing
Format: Kindle
This book bridges the gap between activism and spirituality, making the argument that the world will never change for the better in a lasting way without both working together. Yes, the systems of injustice must be dismantled, but it will be impossible to build new systems that work for all without the inner foundations spelled out in this book. Yes, we need to love one another, but we also need to deal with the material realities of injustice and oppression. Without the principles laid out in this book, we are left with a toxic culture of shaming and ineffectual anger on the side of the activists and a loving but disconnected-from-reality culture on the side of the spiritual while the violence-fueled industrial-growth complex goes on wreaking its destruction. If you despair of things ever changing for the better, read this book. It's THE way forward.
