About the plant:
Philodendrons, or simply philodendrons, are plants from the Araceae family. It comes from the rainforests of Central and South America. Imperial Red catches everyone's eye with its gorgeous, robust red leaves.
Unlike the others already mentioned, this robust perennial herb has an interesting way of life. In tropical America, it is commonly found in treetops, on rocks or in swamps. We can ensure a similar life for them in domestic conditions as well, if we give them some support in the flowerpot, which they could also climb on, e.g. coconut stick, otherwise we let them flow freely from, for example, a shelf.
An interesting feature of the life of philodendrons is the temperature reached during pollination - scientists measured an incredible 43 °C.
Philodendron El Choco Red is a rare and highly prized species that immediately catches the eye with its large heart-shaped leaves with a rich green surface and a distinctive red underside. This dramatic color contrast gives the plant a unique and exotic look. Young leaves often start out in intense red tones that turn deep green over time, leaving the red reverse. Philodendron El Choco Red is relatively easy to care for and is a great choice for anyone looking to add a plant with a strong visual impact to their interior. It is a jewel among philodendrons that is guaranteed to attract attention.
