*** Extra-Floral Nectaries may be on the leaves, this is not damage or pests ***
Philodendron Erubescens may produce tiny droplets of nectar at the base of leaves or along the stems. This is completely natural and nothing to worry about — it’s the plant’s way of attracting beneficial insects in nature, and it won’t harm the plant.

**In winter the colour will fade to dark green & brown, vibrant colouring will be back in the warmer months**
