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.

Gorgeous. But it SHEDS
Color: Cheetah Cherry Hot Pink, Size: 60"x70"
Soft and gorgeous. Not a fan of all the fluff that got all over everything when I finally managed to get all 250 of those stupid little plastic things cut off and got it off the hanger. Washing it will get rid of that but I had to vacuum the chair and carpet where I was sitting.

Soft, Cozy, and a Little Bit Extra — This Blanket Is Worth Every Dollar
Color: Script Wave Black, Size: 60"x70"
I picked this up because I have a bit of a blanket problem. You know… the kind where you already own several, but somehow none of them are the one when you’re trying to get fully cozy on the couch. I wanted something oversized, soft, and honestly a little cute to throw over the back of my chair when I’m not using it. This one checked all the boxes and then some. The first thing I noticed was how insanely soft it is. Not just “this is nice,” but the kind of plush where you keep absentmindedly rubbing it while watching TV. It has that smooth, velvety feel without being heavy, so you don’t end up overheating five minutes later and kicking it off in frustration. It’s warm, but still breathable enough to use year-round. Size-wise, it’s perfect. The 60x70 actually gives you enough blanket to fully wrap up without playing that constant game of “do I want my shoulders covered or my feet?” For once, both can be warm at the same time. Luxury. I also really love the look of it. The black is nice and rich, and the cursive Juicy Couture script in pink and white gives it just enough personality without feeling loud. It has that cozy-but-put-together vibe, like it belongs in a room that has its life together even if I don’t. Another big plus for me—no shedding. I’ve had plush blankets before that leave little fuzz everywhere like they’re slowly disintegrating. This one has held up really well so far, even after use, and still looks clean and put together. For around $28, this honestly feels like one of those “why is this so good for the price?” kind of finds. It doesn’t feel cheap, and it definitely doesn’t look cheap. If I had to find anything to mention, it’s lightweight, so if you’re someone who wants a super heavy, weighted-feeling blanket, this isn’t that. But for everyday use, lounging, or layering, I actually prefer it this way. Overall, this has become my go-to blanket without even trying. It’s soft, it’s cute, it does its job perfectly—and somehow made my couch feel like a better place to exist.

The best throw blanket we own.
Color: Script Wave Black, Size: 60"x70"
I cannot tell you how soft this is. It is so soft and nice and warm. I live in a part of the country that gets some really cold we get snow until like the beginning or middle of May and this was perfect. I curled up with it the other night and it was so warm and so comfy. Both of my children have special needs and my daughter really loves blankets so I got this blanket for her when I saw the chance to pick it up I was so happy and she loves it. She slept with it the other night and usually she'll rotate between blankets I have a lot of comforters and stuff I review a lot of comforters and blankets because that's what our family uses so I have a really good sense of you know buying blankets and getting blankets and knowing what works for us and what doesn't. This is really nice. If your children or family members or even you love warm soft luxurious blankets this is going to be the one for you. It is such a pretty color it's black but it's got like a different shades of pink and it's got white on it it is just so nice and the lettering is really crisp it's not like on there like it's not ironed on there like some of the places they iron stuff on or like you could tell that it's really cheap this isn't cheap it's like really really nicely done I just can't say how much I love it and the seams are double sown it looks like it's sown and then someone over so like it's really really not ever going to come apart it is just so nice

Super soft and cozy plush throw blanket by Juicy Couture. Super cozy! ✨️
Color: Script Wave Black, Size: 60"x70"
I love Juicy Couture products, and so I ordered this Juicy Couture Oversized Plush Throw Blanket. It measures 60" x 70", and has the Script Wave Black design. I have a couple of other Juicy Couture blankets that I absolutely love, and this one is no different. I love the look of this blanket, as it's chic and stylish; I like the black background color, with the logo words in cursive (and in different colors). The contrast of the logo words/design looks nice juxtaposed to the background. This blanket was presented very nicely, which would make for an excellent gift idea. This blanket feels super soft, and is great for various spaces. It's versatile nature makes it great for using on the couch, chairs, or on one's bed. This blanket has a decent thickness to it; I feel cozy and warm when wrapped up in this blanket. I'm about 5'4", so this blanket can wrap around me nicely. It did have some shedding at first; there were these tiny little fluffy dots that I initially saw while opening the blanket for the first time. However, they seem to have stopped after I washed the blanket. Also, this blanket does seem easy to care for; I just tossed it in my regular washer, and then dried it in my dryer. It still feels velvety soft and smooth. So, I'd say it's easy to keep clean, at least in my experience thus far. I really like this blanket, and it adds a touch of coziness and style to my living spaces. This blanket looks really nice draped over a couch, chair, or across a bed. I love how nice of quality this Juicy Couture blanket is, and am glad I ordered it.
