Philodendron 'Sun Red'

Philodendron 'Sun Red' (Philodendron hybrid)

The Sun Red is a showstopper from the moment a new leaf unfurls. Fresh growth emerges in a vivid, coppery red-orange — almost glowing — before gradually deepening to a rich, dark green as the leaf matures. The result is a plant that's always in motion, always revealing something new, with a warm color palette that feels like a perpetual sunset living in your home.
