Philodendron 'Imperial Red' - 50cm - pot size ⌀19cm

Origin and type: The Philodendron 'Imperial Red' is a tropical houseplant with striking, glossy leaves that start out red and turn dark green over time. It's a fast-growing, decorative plant that's popular indoors because of its unique leaf color.

Light: The plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, but in lower light, it grows more slowly and less vigorously.

Water: Keep the soil slightly moist, watering as soon as the top 2-3 cm is dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Water less in winter.

Humidity: Likes higher humidity; regular misting helps maintain tender, healthy leaves.

Temperature: Ideal temperature between 18 and 25°C; not colder than 12°C; avoid draughts.

Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting soil, such as coconut fiber or perlite.

Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with liquid houseplant food.

Pruning: Remove yellowed or damaged leaves; pruning promotes compact growth.

Repotting: Repot every 2 years in spring with fresh soil in a slightly larger pot.

Toxicity: The plant is poisonous to children and pets; avoid contact with sap.

Bonus: The 'Imperial Red' purifies the air, is easy to care for, and its red-green leaves make a striking accent in any room.
