Philodendron Imperial Red. Blushing Philodendron
The philodendron Imperial Red is a relatively new hybrid and a very impressive and structural plant. It is native to The West Indies, Central and Southern America but is usually grown in the UK as a very ornamental and decorative houseplant. Compact in form its young leaves are bright red maturing through a burgundy red-purple colour and ultimately reaching a dark glossy green. The mature leaves are large and oval in shape with mid ribs being almost the same colour and as the leaf nodes are so close togethers the stem is almost hidden giving a full bushy appearance.
Relatively fast growing this lush tropical looking plant is easy to care and brings a piece of the jungle indoors, whilst also helping with air purifying as it filters out airbourne toxins. Can be placed outside through the Summer months in a position out of direct sun.
