Name: Philodendron rubrijuvenile hort. ("Choco Red")
Etymology: The horticultural name refers to the reddish coloration of young leaves or the undersides of leaves; "Choco Red" refers to the Colombian region of Chocó.
Location/Growing Conditions: We recommend warm conditions of approximately 19–28 °C, high humidity, good air circulation, and bright, indirect light. Keep a coarse aroid substrate evenly moist and allow the surface to dry out slightly between waterings.
Description and Notes: This climbing plant, still known by a horticultural name, develops velvety green, heart-shaped leaves, the undersides of which can become distinctly reddish in older plants grown in brighter conditions. A climbing support helps larger leaves. The taxonomic classification is not conclusively established, so we refrain from providing an unverified botanical author citation. Avoid direct midday sun and cold drafts.
