Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ is a bold and dramatic self-heading hybrid admired for its deep burgundy foliage, glossy texture, and regal tropical form. A member of the Araceae family, this variety was bred for its strong colour, upright growth, and exceptional adaptability — a hybrid that perfectly combines elegance with easy maintenance.

The large, elliptical leaves emerge in vibrant shades of bright red or copper, gradually maturing into rich burgundy-green tones that deepen with age. Each leaf is thick, leathery, and polished to a natural shine, arranged symmetrically in a rosette-like pattern around a sturdy central stem. Compact and sculptural, Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ remains tidy as it grows, making it ideal for both home and office spaces where bold colour and structure are desired.

Sophisticated, resilient, and endlessly striking, Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ brings a sense of power and tropical warmth to any curated plant collection.


Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its rich red and burgundy tones. It will tolerate moderate light, but lower light may lead to greener leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the glossy surface and fade the foliage.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 3–4 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause drooping or brown leaf edges. In winter, reduce watering slightly while maintaining humidity.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth between 20–30 °C; avoid temperatures below 16 °C and sudden temperature changes.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Occasional misting or a humidifier will maintain lush, glossy leaves and healthy growth.

Soil and Potting

Use a rich, airy aroid mix, such as compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. This provides good aeration while retaining gentle moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and support new root growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertiliser formulated for foliage plants. Over-fertilising may lead to leaf burn or salt build-up, so feed lightly and consistently. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune older or yellowing leaves at the base to maintain the plant’s form and stimulate fresh growth. Wipe leaves regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their natural shine. Rotate the plant occasionally for even light exposure and symmetrical growth.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate grower, Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ typically reaches 60–90 cm in height and width indoors. Over time, it forms a dense, upright rosette of overlapping leaves that radiate outward, creating a bold, structured display. Mature plants often develop deeper, richer hues, especially under bright, indirect light.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or compacted soil.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Dull colour: Insufficient light.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips or mealybugs; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Developed through hybridisation of tropical Philodendron species native to South America, Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ was bred for its compact growth, intense colouration, and adaptability to indoor environments. It belongs to the same hybrid group as ‘Imperial Green’ and ‘Congo Rojo’, sharing their self-heading growth habit and resilience.

Like all Philodendrons, it is also a powerful natural air purifier, filtering toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air. Its bold red foliage symbolises vitality, confidence, and renewal, making it not just a decorative feature but a mood-lifting focal point in any interior.

Styling Tip

Display Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’ in a matte black, terracotta, or white ceramic planter to complement its rich foliage tones. Its upright structure makes it a natural centrepiece for bright living rooms, office corners, or entryways. Pair it with lighter tropicals like Aglaonema ‘White Joy’ or silver-toned species such as Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’ for visual balance. With its deep red hues and polished leaves, this plant adds warmth, texture, and a refined tropical statement to any space.

    The slow feeder bowl is DOGGONE fantastic! Except…
    Color: Purple, Color: Purple
    I own a pet sitting business and get to see a lot of animal products. So when I ordered the Slow Feeder Dog Bowl in the purple color, I was super excited to try it on my own doggy. She’s a doodle and I tell her all the time, she’s the size of a horse! While I have a slow-eat bowl for my Harlee, it is an old, hard plastic bowl. Time to upgrade! I LOVE this bowl! The feel, the size, the material, the slow feeder aspect and the color. I love it is dishwasher safe, too. While the silicone material is very flexible, I was worried it would be too flexible. But the steel rim at the top of the bowl, which is fully covered so you do not see it, ensures the bowl doesn’t collapse. At first glance, the bowl looked rather small despite being a 3 cup dish. My doggy eats one cup of kibble at each meal and there was plenty of room leftover so no worries there! When it was time for Harlee Grace to eat her lunch, I put the bowl down and she just looked at me. Puzzled. As if to say “What’s this?” But after a few minutes, her stomach finally kicked in and it was time for her to eat. And voila - it took longer than with her old slow-eat bowl! The only negative comment is the suction cup on the bottom of the bowl. It does not “suck” very well to my tile flooring which is rather disappointing considering the bowl is very light. If it wasn’t for the suction cup issue, I’d give this slow feeder bowl 4 doggy thumbs up and 10 stars.

    Sturdy and it works!
    Color: Orange
    This slow feeder dog bowl is really well designed. The bright orange color is fun, and the cute paw print on the bottom is a nice touch. Inside, the sides have lots of textures that allow wet food to stick to it and do a good job at slowing my dog down while eating, without frustrating her too much. The bowl itself feels very sturdy. It’s made of silicone, so its dishwasher safe and there’s a metal ring inside the top that helps it keep its shape, so it doesn’t collapse or get crushed easily. Another big plus is the suction cup on the bottom—it sticks well to the floor and keeps my dog from pushing it all over the place. Overall, this feels like a high-quality bowl that’s both practical and adorable. Great option if you have a fast eater and want something durable and easy to clean. OH! And it comes with a spatula!

    Why do I love this thing so much?
    Color: Purple, Color: Purple
    This is a legitimately nice dog bowl! It’s huge, made of super nice quality silicone and it’s got a very nice structure given the metal reinforcement in the rim of the bowl. The bottom of the bowl has a suction cup on it that prevents it from slipping around, and I noticed that it works really well, even on floors that I wouldn’t expect it to like my luxury vinyl plank floors. As soon as I set it down without applying any pressure, it just stuck to the LVP so easily. It’s very large as well in size and probably much bigger than my dog needs since he’s a 7 pound Pomeranian. I was considering even turning this into a paintbrush water bowl because it could double as that given the texture on the bottom of the bowl would be good for getting paying off of a brush, and the suction Cup bottom works well when you have water inside the bowl that can come out and make the table slippery. I just love this ball so much and love that it can be used for two different common use cases in my home. It comes with one of those cake batter scraper things which I think is used to help clean the bowl in between the grooves. But I’m not totally sure. I love that. The color is purple my favorite color.

    A great boredom‑buster that works perfectly as a distraction.
    Color: Blue, Color: Blue
    I ordered the Excdesolns Slow Feeder Dog Bowl for my 15‑month‑old Lab. This is my first time using a slow feeder, but I knew I wanted one made from safe materials—this bowl is 100% food‑grade silicone, BPA‑free, and non‑toxic. It’s solid and sturdy, not flimsy at all, and the quality really shows. The suction bottom works great too—once you set it down, it stays put. I’ve been using it as a boredom‑buster or distraction tool, especially when it’s time to trim her nails. A little peanut butter in the grooves keeps her busy for a good while. It actually works better than I expected, and I’m considering using it for her fresh food as well. Overall, it’s a well‑made, functional bowl that does exactly what it promises. Highly recommend.

    Practical Slow Feeder Bowl, Works as Expected
    Color: Blue
    I tried this slow feeder dog bowl for my pet, and overall it’s fairly well made. The suction cup keeps the bowl in place on smooth surfaces, and the reinforced rim feels sturdy. The puzzle design slows down eating, though it may take some getting used to for certain dogs. Made of BPA-free silicone, it seems safe and easy to clean. It works for a range of dog sizes, though the 3-cup capacity might be a bit small for larger breeds. Overall, it’s an okay option for slow feeding.
