About Philodendron 'Imperial Red'
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

How to fertilize Philodendron 'Imperial Red'
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

I cannot get enough of this new leaf on my Imperial Red! I know we are all enjoying #GregTurnsTwo and I would probably never have gotten this plant without the #GregGang, so I also want to celebrate #FreshLeafFriday! #PhiloFlock #plantsofthe40thstreetbungalow

I got my plant from the #SpringIntoSummer contest! I was super nervous to open it because my USPS carrier put it in the parcel locker instead of on our porch 🤦🏻♀️ I think it looks pretty good though! I can see 2 new leaves coming in. Thank you #gregteam for this prize! #SpringIntoSummerWinners

Best Fertilizer? 👋 it’s time to fertilize a lot of my plants mostly #mosntera and #Philodendron some #Pothos . Can I use the same fertilizer for all? Should I go liquid or spike? Pics for Tax!

New leaf not opening and going limp? This new leaf on my large #philodendronimperialred has been growing for nearly a month now, and it just keeps looking sadder and limper... I haven't changed much with its situation, it's in a self-watering planter so gets very even water, and it lives under the grow lights in my room which is more light than it used to get from behind the folding screen. One of the leaves snapped off recently from age and the plant might have gotten stressed from that, but that's all that I can think of that changed. What could be causing this and/or what's wrong with it?

whats up with these leaf spots :0?? Recently just got her repotted as she was too big for the previous one, and upon return from the greenhouse, I noticed these. Are these pest related? Stress related? :( #Philodendron #leafspots
