Meet Philodendron ‘Choco Red’—the warm-toned aroid with cocoa drama. New growth can emerge with rich red to chocolatey tones before settling into deeper green, giving her a constantly changing look. Easy to style and full of colour, she brings warmth to any aroid collection.

  • The Formal Name: Philodendron ‘Choco Red’
  • The Nickname: Choco Red Philodendron
  • Roots: A cultivated Philodendron selected for red-bronze new growth and tropical foliage appeal.
  • Natural Vibe: Warm, humid, filtered-light conditions that mimic the climbing life of tropical aroids.

Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright, indirect light keeps leaves bold and healthy; avoid harsh direct sun.
  • Best Room: A warm living room, plant shelf or moss-pole corner with filtered light.
  • Snacks: Feed every 4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced aroid fertiliser.
  • Tropical Feels: Moderate to high humidity encourages larger leaves and smoother unfurling.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her warm at 18–27°C and away from cold draughts.
  • Thirst: Water when the top third of the mix is dry, then drain thoroughly.
  • Safety First: Toxic – Philodendrons contain calcium oxalate crystals; keep away from pets and small hands.
  • The Bedding: A chunky aroid mix with bark, perlite and coco chips keeps roots oxygenated.
  • Family Tree: Propagate by stem cuttings with at least one node.
  • Space Needs: Give her a support or let her grow as a compact upright foliage feature while young.
  • Speed: Moderate to fast when warm, fed and given something to climb.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for thrips, mealybugs and spider mites.
  • Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years or when the support and roots need more room.
  • Haircut: Trim leggy stems and root the cuttings for fuller plants.
  • Fresh Air: A bold aroid that brings easy tropical structure to indoor spaces.
  • Plant Lore: The Choco Red name comes from that delicious red-brown new growth—like a little cocoa flush on the shelf.
