Philodendron rubrijuvenile, commonly known as the El Choco Red, is a climbing Philodendron with elongated, heart-shaped leaves that have a soft, velvety texture on the upper surface and a rich, wine-red underside. New leaves emerge with an intense burgundy-red tone before maturing to deep green. It is a hemiepiphyte that develops significantly larger, more dramatic foliage when given a moss pole to climb.

Origins

Native to the Chocó region of Colombia, Philodendron rubrijuvenile grows in wet, humid tropical forest at relatively low elevations. It climbs from the forest floor into the canopy, and its common name references the red colouring of its juvenile leaves and petioles.
