Name: Philodendron rubrijuvenile hort. ("Choco Red")
Etymology: The name used in horticulture refers to the reddish coloration of young leaves or the undersides of leaves; "Choco Red" refers to the Colombian Chocó region.
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 potting mix 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 whose undersides can become distinctly reddish in older plants grown in brighter conditions. The young plant offered will only display the typical coloration as it matures. A climbing support helps larger leaves; avoid direct midday sun and cold drafts.
