Philodendron 'Red Heart' – Rare Hybrid with Striking Red Leaf Centers

Philodendron 'Red Heart' is an uncommon hybrid admired for its dramatic coloration. New leaves unfurl in deep maroon tones before maturing into very dark green, while a vivid red flush remains along the center of each blade. Unlike many philodendrons, this cultivar prefers slightly drier conditions, making it a distinctive and adaptable choice for collectors.

Recognisable features of 'Red Heart'

  • Colouration: strong red hue radiating from the center vein, contrasting with dark foliage.
  • Juvenile growth: leaves emerge in deep maroon and transition to rich green.
  • Leaf form: broad blades with a smooth, herbaceous texture.
  • Growth habit: compact and upright, suitable for smaller displays or medium pots.

Background and breeding

The exact parentage of 'Red Heart' is not fully documented, but it stands out within hybrid philodendrons for its intense red pigmentation. Its unusual colour profile makes it highly desirable for collectors seeking hybrids with traits beyond the common greens and burgundies.

Care guidelines for Philodendron 'Red Heart'

  • Light: thrives in bright, indirect light; too little light reduces red intensity.
  • Temperature: prefers 20 – 28 °C; avoid prolonged cold below 16 °C.
  • Humidity: 60 – 75% keeps foliage vibrant but tolerates average indoor conditions.
  • Watering: allow the top layer of soil to dry more than with most philodendrons; avoid waterlogging.
  • Substrate: airy, well-draining mix with bark, perlite, and coco coir.
  • Feeding: monthly, diluted fertiliser during active growth enhances colour and strength.

Possible challenges

  • Red fading: often caused by insufficient light or weak nutrition.
  • Yellowing leaves: usually linked to overwatering or compacted substrate.
  • Slow growth: common if kept too wet; this hybrid prefers slightly drier cycles.
  • Pests: check regularly for mites or thrips, especially on young foliage.

Collector’s notes

  • Rarity: still uncommon in trade, available mainly through specialist nurseries.
  • Colour impact: red streaking remains visible even after leaves mature to dark green.
  • Adaptability: more tolerant of drier conditions than most philodendrons.
  • Toxicity: contains calcium oxalate; keep away from pets and children.

Etymology

Genus:Philodendron (Schott, 1830), from Greek philo- “loving” + dendron “tree,” in reference to the genus’ climbing habit.Cultivar name: ‘Red Heart’ reflects the plant’s vivid red flush running from its center vein.

Propagation and size

  • Propagation: stem cuttings with one or two nodes root well in warm, humid setups.
  • Rooting medium: sphagnum moss or fine bark/perlite encourages quick rooting.
  • Indoor size: compact, usually 50 – 90 cm tall with broad leaves as it matures.

Why Philodendron 'Red Heart' is a collector’s gem

With its deep maroon juvenile growth and lasting red flush through mature leaves, Philodendron 'Red Heart' offers a bold splash of colour in a manageable, easy-care hybrid. A rare find for any philodendron collection.

Non-greasy (really) and works great
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
I moved to Michigan at the end of last summer and was positively eaten by mosquitoes through September. (They liked the taste of Texas I guess.) The only formulas I found effective were this and Off Deep Woods. (And yes, I've tried all the natural oil mixes, including Young Living Purification, citronella, etc. changed my lotion, avoided fragrances, you name it.) The Smooth and Dry formula is by far my favorite. It doesn't last as long as the Off 'Deep Woods' offering, but it is really and truly non-oily/non-greasy so it's not a worry to reapply. There is a powdery dust finish involved with the application so be careful where you spray (into the wind, etc.) You don't want to accidentally inhale the stuff. That said, the dry finish means this won't stain clothes or add to the hot sticky feeling you already have to deal with during the summer. One caveat for this particular product listing - this is for a bundle of SMALL 2.5 oz cans. I have never seen this small size in store, so while I thought I was getting a great deal, it was just about the same price per oz that I would have paid buying locally. My fault for not double-checking the size, but still, it was nice to stock up and be able to toss in a bag, the car, etc.

Re-apply each hour for full protection
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
I bought this item because family and I had mosquito bites problems and started using this product. It will wear off and needs to be reapplied after about one hour. The other products i have used for the problem is peppermint oil with water. If you shower , you will need to reapply.
