Blushing Philodendron

The blushing philodendron (Philodendron erubescens) is a vigorous climber with reddish stems and some red highlights in the deep green leaves.

Like other philodendrons, the blushing philodendron is drought-tolerant, so proper drainage is a must. Water about once a week, allowing the soil to dry out before watering again.

This plant is great as a houseplant because it thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It does not tolerate direct sun, so it will be happiest in a bright room!

No! This plant is not pet-friendly.

Yellowing leaves are a sign that this shade-loving plant is getting too much sun. Try moving it to an eastern-facing window that gets morning light.
