Philodendron 'Imperial red': Burgundy new growth gives Philodendron 'Imperial red' a rich colour shift as each glossy leaf matures toward deep green. The plant grows from a central self-heading crown, so fresh red tones sit close to older leaves and keep the colour visible across the pot. Dark petioles and sheaths add depth between the larger blades as the plant gains size. Broad leaf surfaces and tight rosette growth create a dense plant with strong colour at the centre. Philodendron foliage can irritate pets if eaten. Warm indoor conditions, bright filtered light, and even moisture with drainage help it hold its shape.
