Philodendron 'El Choco Red' (Philodendron rubrijuvenile)

Philodendron 'El Choco Red' is Philodendron rubrijuvenile, an accepted Philodendron species from Colombia. It is grown for velvety green upper leaf surfaces and red to burgundy tones on juvenile leaf backs, with the strongest colour usually visible while the leaf is young.

The plant grows as a climbing aroid with nodes that can produce aerial roots. A textured support, steady warmth and higher humidity help the stem anchor and allow the leaves to become larger and more defined.

Velvety green leaves with red juvenile backs

  • Species and origin: Accepted Philodendron species native to Colombia.
  • Foliage: Velvety green upper surfaces with red to burgundy tones on young leaf backs.
  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with aerial roots at the stem nodes.
  • Growing conditions: Warm, humid conditions and an airy mix help roots stay active and new velvet leaves unfurl cleanly.
  • Support response: Leaves usually become larger and more defined when the stem can climb.

Colombian origin of Philodendron rubrijuvenile

Philodendron rubrijuvenile Croat & R.Kaufmann was published in Aroideana 45(1): 214 in 2022 and is accepted as native to Colombia, where it grows primarily in the wet tropical biome. Indoors, keep it in bright filtered light, warm root conditions, higher humidity and a lightly moist, airy substrate.

The velvety blade surface marks more easily than thick glossy Philodendron foliage. Keep water directed into the substrate rather than over the velvet leaves, and let new foliage unfurl without handling. The red underside is a juvenile-growth feature, so individual leaves can soften in colour as they mature.

Warmth, humidity and support for velvet foliage

  • Light: Give bright indirect light, around 10,000–20,000 lux; strong direct sun can mark the velvety leaf surface.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 30–50% of the mix has dried, then let excess water drain fully.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a modest moisture buffer.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to hold the climbing stem and support securely.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the support becomes unstable or the substrate starts breaking down. Move up gradually to keep the root zone airy.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% for smoother leaf expansion and better aerial-root activity.
  • Temperature: Keep at 18–29°C and protect the plant from temperatures below 15°C.
  • Support: Train the stem onto a moss pole, tree-fern-style pole or plank while the internodes are still flexible.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser at low to moderate strength during active growth.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm and supported. Supported stems can produce larger leaves over time.
  • Placement: Place it where the velvet leaves have room to open without rubbing against glass, walls, shelves or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping.
  • Propagation: Root stem cuttings with at least one node in warm, humid conditions.

Leaf marks, stalled unfurling and pest checks

  • Crispy patches: Check for direct sun, dry root pockets or low humidity around emerging leaves.
  • Stalled leaf unfurling: Increase humidity and check that the root ball is not drying too hard between waterings.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Inspect the root zone for cold, wet mix or poor drainage.
  • Small new leaves: Check light, support and root health. Undersized growth often appears when the stem cannot climb or the roots are weak.
  • Fine speckling or dull patches: Check leaf undersides, petiole bases, cataphylls and new growth for thrips, mites, mealybugs and scale.

Ingestion safety

Philodendron rubrijuvenile is toxic if ingested. It contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue and throat. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children, and wash hands after pruning or taking cuttings if sap contacts the skin.

Rubrijuvenile and El Choco Red

Philodendron is an Araceae genus whose name comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”, reflecting the climbing or tree-associated habit of many species. The species epithet rubrijuvenile refers to the red colour of immature leaves. The plant circulated as Philodendron sp. 'El Choco Red' before it was described as Philodendron rubrijuvenile.

Choose Philodendron 'El Choco Red' for velvety green leaves and red-toned juvenile leaf backs on a Colombian climbing Philodendron.

Quality mats that provide noticeable noise suppression
Size: 10 sqft
I used these mats when I replaced the carpet in my Chevy Tahoe. Cutting the mats to size was easy enough with a utility knife and a straightedge. The adhesive backing stuck fairly well, but I used a roller to press the mats into place on the metal panels, which seemed to help them adhere a little better. Under the old carpet was the type of insulation you'd typically see under carpet in a typical home. It was worn, so I tossed it and installed the new carpet directly over these new mats. The before & after difference in noise was minimal, but noticable. But I only installed them on the floor - not in the doors, rear hatch area, firewall, or roof. So overalll, I'm pleased with these mats as they provided the noise suppression that I had expected.

Easy to cut and easy to install
Size: 10 sqft, Size: 10 sqft
You receive 9 sheets of RUNSUNSPRII Car Sound Deadening Mat that each measure 9.75" x 15.75". This calculates to a total of 9.6 square feet in total for all of the sheets. Of all the different styles of sound deadening mats, foil lined butyl is the best type for eliminating vibration. This quality product has a printed gridwork of 2-inch squares on the liner to aid in cutting the correct sized pieces. Even with as sticky as this product is, it is super easy to cut to shape with one pass of a razor blade. OEM auto manufacturers use this same kind of product extensively on the inner structure for sound deadening and to block sound and air transmission through all sizes of holes and cutouts. Because it is highly waterproof, it also is perfect for blocking areas to prevent water intrusion. The very sticky pads adhere to all surfaces and are very flexible and will conform to fit many areas. Because it is thin, it is ideal to install under interior trim panels without causing interference with how the panels fit.

Solid quality and good price
Size: 10 sqft
I bought this for my custom built camper van and it’s been great so far. For $24, the amount of coverage you get is totally fair, and I’ll probably grab a second box to finish everything. It’s easy to install with just scissors and something to press it down, and making quick cardboard templates really helps for tight spots. The adhesive is insanely strong, so once it sticks, it’s not going anywhere (just don’t let it stick to itself). Keep in mind this is sound deadening, not full soundproofing, but even with partial coverage I can already hear a difference in reduced road noise and vibrations. I’m using this as a base layer and plan to add soundproofing on top, and so far I’m really happy with how it’s turning out.

Threw this on the back walls floor underneath the speaker and the doors.. all that energy is now in the cab with me instead of getting lost in rattling metal!! Love it!!! Left a few pieces outside after I was done rained like hell on them so water doesnt hurt this stuff at all or direct sunlight in south mississippi.. good stuff pick this up and make them systems thud instead of rattle!!! You wont regret it!! I didn't!!
