Philodendron 'Imperial Red'

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' is a self-heading Philodendron grown for glossy leaves that open red to bronze and deepen as they mature. The plant forms a central body, with new leaves rising from the centre and older leaves spreading outward to create a full, layered shape.

New leaves provide the strongest red colour, often opening in red, coppery or burgundy tones before settling into darker green-red foliage. Steady root health, warmth and bright filtered light help the plant keep producing new leaves.

Red new growth and rosette-form habit

  • Leaf colour: New foliage opens red to bronze, then matures into deeper red-green tones.
  • Growth habit: Self-heading Philodendron with a central stem and outward leaf spread.
  • Leaf finish: Smooth, glossy blades with a firm texture once mature.
  • Support needs: Grown as a freestanding plant with no pole support requirement.
  • Indoor behaviour: Best in bright indirect light, warm temperatures and well-drained substrate.

How the colour develops with each new leaf

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' develops colour through each new leaf cycle. Fresh growth is usually the brightest part of the plant, while older leaves become deeper and more subdued. This gives mature plants a layered look, with younger leaves standing out from the darker outer foliage.

The plant grows from a compact central stem with overlapping petiole bases. Good airflow around that centre helps keep the lower growth clean. Removing fully yellowed old leaves is fine, but cutting healthy lower leaves just to expose the stem can weaken the plant’s energy production and reduce the full shape.

As with other self-heading Philodendron cultivars, the roots need a breathable mix. A dense, wet substrate can cause lower leaf yellowing even when the top of the plant still looks firm. Bright indirect light supports active growth, while strong direct sun can scorch or bleach the glossy surface.

Care for active self-heading growth

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light for steady new growth. Avoid intense direct sun, especially through hot glass.
  • Watering: Water deeply once the top few centimetres of substrate have dried. Let excess water drain completely.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, perlite, pumice and organic matter. The mix should hold light moisture while staying airy.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18°C. Cold roots and wet soil can quickly damage the lower stem.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity supports smooth new leaves. Very dry air can contribute to brown edges during active growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during the growing season. Reduce feeding when the plant slows down.
  • Cleaning: Wipe glossy leaves with a soft damp cloth so dust does not dull the surface or block light.
  • Repotting: Repot into a slightly larger pot once roots are crowded. Keep the central stem at its previous planting depth.

Leaf colour, stem and root warning signs

  • Weak colour on new leaves: Check overall growth quality first. Very low light can reduce leaf size and slow new leaf production.
  • Yellow lower leaves: A single older leaf can be normal, but several yellowing leaves suggest too much moisture, compacted substrate or low light.
  • Brown patches: Crispy patches can come from direct sun or drought stress. Soft dark patches suggest wet, cold conditions or tissue damage.
  • Soft base: Inspect the roots and lower stem immediately. This often develops when the plant is planted too deeply or kept too wet.
  • Pest damage: Look for fine stippling, sticky residue or distorted new leaves. Check petioles, leaf backs and the central growth area.

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' grows best with consistent watering, warmth and a breathable mix. Regular rotation keeps the central growth balanced, and a stable pot helps prevent the plant from leaning as the leaves become larger.

Safety with Philodendron 'Imperial Red'

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' is not pet-safe. Leaves and stems contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat if ingested. Sap may irritate skin, so wash hands after pruning and keep removed leaves away from pets and children.

DeCoster origin and cultivar background

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and is native across tropical America as a genus. The name comes from Greek elements meaning “loving” and “tree”, linked to the tree-associated growth of many Philodendron species. Philodendron 'Imperial Red' was selected by Paul DeCoster in Melle, Belgium, from Bamboo Nursery seedlings of unknown parentage.

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' forms a full freestanding plant with red-toned new growth and darker mature foliage around the central crown.

How To Be Enoch In A Few Easy Steps
Format: Kindle
The title of this book is a tad misleading. Mike certainly does a great job of helping the reader deal with the issue of seeing a lot of dark and negative things when learning to see in the spirit. But that's not all. In this book, Mike includes a lot of other worthwhile steps and exercises to help you see in the spirit in general. In fact, he includes some of this in most of his books, but the repetition necessary. You've got to get the basics down to get it to work. I think people get in the habit of thinking, "If I just read one more book on using the spiritual senses, it'll finally happen for me." But that's not how it works. To see and hear in the spirit and walk in the spirit realm (literally), you have got to do the basic exercises Mike suggests, and you've got to make it a lifestyle. In this book, as with pretty much all of Mike's books, he essentially tells you how to be just like Enoch. Enoch didn't have to be the only person in the antediluvian age to have a living relationship with the Lord. Anybody could've had that, in any age, regardless of their background. But they just weren't interested. It was for Enoch just as much as it was for Cain, Saul, and King Manasseh. The Lord wasn't holding out on anybody. Enoch was just the guy who wanted that relationship. Some people think, "If the Lord wants that, he'll show me himself!" But that's baloney. The Lord himself directly spoke to Cain. To the children of Israel at Sinai. To Judas Iscariot. But they all turned away to their own delusions. It all comes back to the same reality: Jehovah isn’t holding out on anyone. He’s fully present, fully available. It’s just that most people, even when told exactly how to wake up, would rather stay dreaming. Here, Mike provides a toolbox and skillset, with training included, to be like Enoch. But, like Enoch, you've got to choose to follow that path, and not settle. Then, the things that Mike suggests will start working for you. Like all of Mike's mystical teachings on the spiritual life, this one's well worth it. Just stick with it, and don't settle.

Great, easy to understand explanations
Format: Kindle
I definitely needed this! I have been enduring a long period of spiritual attacks in the natural and physical realms. It has helped me to better understand my calling, even though I have been serving God as a spirit filled and spirit baptized follower of Yeshua.

Easy to read. Line spacing is just right! Thank you!
Format: Paperback
Michael Van Vlymen delivers the lived from experience truth once again! Michael is down to earth and matter of fact as he writes. He is heavenly minded every day! I've grown more in love with Jesus because of his testimony of heavenly realms operating on the earthly realm. My eyes have been opened much much more as I listen and read Mikes well illustrated books and videos!

Challenge Accepted
Format: Kindle
I liked the book. It challenged my position of focusing on the light and ignoring the darkness. It challenges me to desire the whole experience of spiritual awareness and sight and to become adept in living as a watchman.
