Philodendron 'Cherry Red' – Vibrant New Growth and Upright Hybrid Care

Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is a bold, self-heading hybrid known for its vivid red new leaves that slowly deepen into glossy green as they mature. The fresh growth emerges in shades ranging from cherry red to warm coral, creating a constant contrast against the darker, older foliage. With a bushy, upright form and strong stems, it grows neatly without needing a pole or support. Its sculptural shape, colourful foliage, and easy-going temperament make it a favourite for collectors who want tropical drama without the maintenance of a climber.

Foliage Colour and Structure of Philodendron 'Cherry Red'

  • Leaf colour: Bright cherry red when young, maturing to deep green
  • Texture: Smooth, thick, and semi-glossy with slightly wavy margins
  • Form: Self-heading; dense rosette with upright growth habit
  • Indoor size: Reaches 50 – 70 cm in height and width when mature
  • Petioles: Red-toned, adding contrast and vibrancy to the plant’s core

Origin and Botanical Background of Philodendron 'Cherry Red'

Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is a cultivated hybrid, bred specifically for its colourful new foliage and compact, non-vining habit. While its parentage is not publicly confirmed, it shares characteristics with other Meconostigma-type hybrids that favour upright, self-supporting structures. Like many tropical aroids, it thrives in warm, humid environments between 20 – 28 °C with bright, indirect light. Its vibrant tones and manageable size make it ideal for growing indoors without needing climbing structures or frequent pruning.

Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is toxic if ingested and should be kept away from pets and small children.

How to Care for Philodendron 'Cherry Red'

  • Light: Bright, indirect light enhances red pigmentation in new growth
  • Watering: Water when the top 3 cm of soil is dry; avoid waterlogged conditions
  • Humidity: Prefers 60 – 80% but tolerates average household levels
  • Temperature: Ideal between 20 – 28 °C; protect from cold air or sudden changes
  • Soil: Well-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and compost
  • Repotting: Every 1 – 2 years or when roots begin circling the pot
  • Fertilising: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser
  • Propagation: By division at the base; self-heading type, not vining
  • Hydroponics: Can adapt to semi-hydro with proper humidity and airflow
  • Pruning: Remove older leaves at the base to keep shape clean and tidy

Common Problems with Philodendron 'Cherry Red'

  • Faded red colour: Often due to insufficient light – move to a brighter indirect spot
  • Yellowing leaves: Typically caused by overwatering or poor drainage
  • Browning tips: Can occur with low humidity or irregular watering
  • Spider mites or thrips: May appear on new leaves – treat with neem or insecticidal spray
  • Fungus gnats: Allow topsoil to dry slightly and improve airflow

Extra Growing Notes for Philodendron 'Cherry Red'

'Cherry Red' brings strong visual contrast with minimal effort. To maintain vivid colour, give it consistent light and avoid overfeeding, which can cause greener, less vibrant new growth. This hybrid grows in a tidy shape, making it ideal for containers, side tables, or floor pots where height and colour can shine. Mimic rainforest-like warmth and filtered light to keep it vigorous and full of glowing new leaves year-round.

Etymology and Cultivar Meaning of Philodendron 'Cherry Red'

Philodendron comes from the Greek “philo” (love) and “dendron” (tree), although this hybrid does not climb. The cultivar name 'Cherry Red' refers to the plant’s vivid red-toned new leaves, which resemble the colour of ripe cherries at emergence.

Great feel and quality, will buy again
Size: 5.5 INCH
These are gorgeous! The thick, heavy look and feel that I was hoping for, great screws to match (we used different anchors, since the provided anchors are not the strongest style). Similar ones at the local big-name hardware store are at least three times the price and are no better quality. I would (and will) definitely buy these again for more projects. Originally bought the six of these even though I only needed two because the price was still the best I could find, and ended up using all six almost immediately. They look so good, I found more projects for them!

Nice looking. A bit too much flexibility. Did the job.
Size: 11.25 INCH, Size: 11.25 INCH
We made use of these shelving brackets in our kitchen remodel. They turned out great. We used 2x12 Douglas Fur boards that were sanded and painted to show contrast with the brackets. The brackets installed easy enough with a level, tape measure, pencil, and a drill for pilot holes. Other reviewers are correct: the mounting screws that come with it are essentially junk. I had read this and ordered black wood screws ahead of time with the hopes of returning them. I used the 1" screws to secure the shelving to the brackets. The 2-1/2" screws get to go back as we were able to use the included screws to secure the brackets to the wall. But, two of the first three heads on the 1" screws popped off... so, we quickly moved away from those included. There is a little more flex in the brackets than I had expected... they're just a little too thin for 11-1/2" shelves. It won't affect anything for us as we'll just be placing dry food and canned goods on them in our pantry. But, if I were using them for the garage or the shop I'd probably buy a different brand OR decrease the space between brackets. I spaced mine out 12" from each edge and then 12" on center. Works well for our pantry.

Real good quality. Better price then Menards. Missing screws.
Size: 5.5 INCH
Real good quality, very sturdy, and it came with screws and drywall anchors. I would recommend. Only thing is it came with twice the drywall anchors that I needed and missing 2 screws. Not a big deal for me, but someone without screws laying around would have to buy a whole box for 2 screws. Other then that, it’s a good product and would buy again.

Amazing quality brackets
Size: 7.25 INCH, Size: 7.25 INCH
When I received my order I was very impressed with how the brackets were packaged. Once opened up, the steel brackets are amazing quality, and comes with all the screws needed. The only downsize is the screws are lower quality so by the time I got them in they were stripping where the screw driver sits. Same with the drywall attachments. I only used two dry wall attachments per shelf because I didn’t want to ruin my walls with giant holes. It seems to hold adequate weight. I put the regular screws in the bottom holes and through the wood to secure shelf from sliding. Overall I am very pleased. I will be ordering again when I do my bathroom shelves.
