Philodendron 'McColley's Finale'

Philodendron 'McColley's Finale' is a self-heading Philodendron cultivar with glossy new leaves that open chestnut red, deepen through bronze-red tones, and mature to green with warm shading. The plant forms a dense rosette from a short central stem, filling the pot with layered colour from the crown outward.

Philodendron 'McColley's Finale' was selected from hybrid Philodendron plants of unknown complex hybrid parentage. Its background traces to the Orlando-area programme started by Robert H. McColley and continued by Cora McColley with Dr Howard N. Miller.

  • Growth habit: Self-heading rosette with very short internodes and a dense, pot-filling shape.
  • New growth colour: Fresh leaves emerge glossy chestnut red before shifting through bronze and green.
  • Patent background: Hybrid Philodendron selection with unknown complex parentage.
  • Breeding line: Part of the McColley/Miller Orlando-area Philodendron programme.

Red new growth from the McColley programme

Philodendron 'McColley's Finale' grows from a short central crown with leaves arranged closely around the plant. Mature plants usually become much wider than tall, forming a broad rosette that shows both fresh red growth and older green leaves at the same time. The dark petioles and cataphylls add colour even between new leaf flushes.

Each flush changes colour as it matures. New leaves carry the strongest red, then darken and settle into green with a residual warm tone.

Light and watering for a compact rosette

  • Light: Give bright filtered light to support colourful new leaves and a dense crown. Avoid harsh midday sun on glossy young foliage.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 3–4 cm of substrate feel dry. Avoid letting water collect around the crown.
  • Substrate: Use an airy, well-draining aroid mix. The roots need moisture below, but the base should not sit in stale wet soil.
  • Humidity: Average to moderate household humidity is usually manageable, though steadier humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally 18–28°C, and protect it from cold drafts or cold windowsills.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage and enough width for the rosette. Oversized pots can keep unused substrate wet for too long.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth to support regular leaf production and steady colour cycling.

Crown issues to catch early

  • Yellowing and soft tissue near the base: Check for overwatering or compacted substrate. Improve drainage and let the surface dry between waterings.
  • Weak new colour: Check light levels and plant vigour. The strongest colour appears on healthy new leaves in bright filtered light.
  • Brown tips: Check watering consistency, fertiliser strength, and mineral build-up in the substrate.
  • Distorted new leaves: Inspect the crown and leaf bases for thrips, scale, or mealybugs before the pests spread.

Safety for pets and handling

Philodendron 'McColley's Finale' is not safe to chew or ingest. Like other Philodendrons, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, and stomach. Keep it away from pets and children, and avoid contact with sap around sensitive skin or eyes.

Name and breeding background

Philodendron is a genus in the Araceae family, with a native range from Mexico to tropical America. The cultivar name 'McColley's Finale' reflects the McColley breeding background; the patented plant came from unknown complex hybrid parentage within the Orlando-area programme associated with Robert H. McColley, Cora McColley, and Dr Howard N. Miller.

Philodendron 'McColley's Finale' carries chestnut-red new leaves, glossy green mature foliage and a compact self-heading rosette.

Definitely a tough toy
Color: Blue
This is one of the few toys my Boxer/american bulldog mix hasn’t been able to tear apart. He loves chewing on it and I love that he doesn’t chew on stuff he shouldn’t. I have such an issue with toys being torn apart the day I bring them home. I wish there was a safe way for it to have a squeaker since he loves squeakers but I don’t think that is possible.

Croc-sational
Color: Blue
My tough chewer is OBSESSED with Croc. Stands up well, small particles occasionally come off but this beats going thru 3 stuffies in an hour. Good value, easy to clean and great for our 91lb pitty

Good for a few weeks for large dogs
Color: Blue
It held up for a few weeks. The arms and tip of the tail were chewed off. Had to throw it away so my dogs wouldnt eat the parts that they chewed off. It kept them busy for a while.

Dog likes it, but is very hard material around smaller dogs when he is playing and running
Color: Blue
My 22lb dog loves this chew. We have owned it just for one day. He immediately loved it and he races through the house holding it in his mouth like a grand prize. I have concerns to the hardness of the ends of it, the material is very hard, and the tail comes to an end shape that could hurt other pets in a multidog home if it hit or stuck in them. I have two smaller chihuahua dogs, one who has lost an eye so this is something to be careful about with other dogs running with this toy. This may not affect a one dog home. Best to observe the dog while playing with it around others.

Withstands very aggressive chewing
Color: Blue
We have a very active and aggressive chewer. Items identified for aggressive chewers are “Gone in 60 Seconds”. This toy is amazing. It has withstood Jake’s many attempts to destroy it and is one of his favorites! It is not hard like acrylic but is hard rubber with some give decreasing risk of fractured teeth. Best toy yet!!!
