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.

Works
It works, put together easy too. And my only complaint is there's no way of securing your glass shelves. They just rest on plastic tabs.

These babies are sturdy.
You could put your fattest counsin on these babies and they wouldn't break. Easy to build, everything that you needed was included. And I love the way they look. I accidentally matched my new bed frame to them. The lights are sticky LED light strands. They aren't sticky enough. But I dont care I didnt buy it for the lights.

Manufactured wrong
Double check the mounting holes BEFORE you assemble! I got the whole thing put together, and then realized the left side bracket was incorrectly manufactured- the mounting hole is on the front of the unit instead of the back, so I can’t actually hang it on the wall. The assembly was easy, though.
