Plant this philodendron in a moist, well-drained potting mix. Water philodendron imperial red when the top of the soil is dry. Fertilise this plant monthly in spring and summer.

Light :

To maintain its distinctive colour, philodendron imperial red requires lots of bright, indirect light. A great place for this plant is in an east-facing window, where it will receive weaker morning sunlight, or several feet from a south-facing or west-facing window, as long as it’s out of direct sun.

A standard houseplant mix with some added perlite or orchid bark for drainage can work well, or you can purchase or make your aroid-specific soil blend.

Water :

Water your philodendron imperial red when the soil surface has just begun to dry out. Rather than watering on a set schedule, it’s best to check the soil moisture regularly and water based on that. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Empty drip trays and saucers after watering to make sure the plant is never sitting in water, which can lead to root rot.

size:

This cultivar typically reaches about 2-3 feet in height and spreads (60-90 cm) when grown indoors. Its manageable size and robust form make it an excellent choice for adding a splash of colour to interior spaces without requiring extensive space.

Flower:

Pruning :

Propagating Philodendron Imperial Red
You can propagate philodendron imperial red by dividing offsets, or plantlets that can emerge at the base of the mother plant. The best time to do this is during repotting.

Before you begin, you’ll need a healthy mother plant with a few offsets, sterilized shears, small plant pots, fresh potting mix, and gardening gloves. Here’s how to propagate philodendron imperial red by division.

Gently tip your plant out of its pot. Use your fingers to loosen the soil around the root ball.
Carefully separate any offsets from the mother plant, making sure to keep the foliage attached to the roots. If you can’t separate the roots of the offset from the main root ball by hand, use clean shears to cut through the roots.
Fill the pots halfway with the potting mix. Plant the offsets, filling in with more fresh potting mix and patting the surface gently to hold it in place. Report the mother plant.
Water the offsets well and put them in a warm place with bright, indirect light. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. When you see new leaf growth, the offsets are established and can be cared for as usual.
Potting and Repotting Philodendron Imperial Red
You’ll know it’s time to repot your philodendron imperial red when you see roots growing out of the holes in the bottom of the pot or filling the soil surface. Other signs that it’s time to report are that water seems to drain out immediately without being absorbed by the soil, a dull appearance, and stunted growth.

Benefit:

Beyond its decorative value, it also serves as an air purifier, improving indoor air quality by filtering certain toxins. Even if you don’t see any of these signs, it’s a good idea to report every two to three years. Repot in spring or summer using fresh potting mix.
