Philodendron 'Imperial Red'

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' is a self-heading Philodendron grown for glossy leaves that open red to bronze and deepen as they mature. The plant forms a central body, with new leaves rising from the centre and older leaves spreading outward to create a full, layered shape.

New leaves provide the strongest red colour, often opening in red, coppery or burgundy tones before settling into darker green-red foliage. Steady root health, warmth and bright filtered light help the plant keep producing new leaves.

Red new growth and rosette-form habit

  • Leaf colour: New foliage opens red to bronze, then matures into deeper red-green tones.
  • Growth habit: Self-heading Philodendron with a central stem and outward leaf spread.
  • Leaf finish: Smooth, glossy blades with a firm texture once mature.
  • Support needs: Grown as a freestanding plant with no pole support requirement.
  • Indoor behaviour: Best in bright indirect light, warm temperatures and well-drained substrate.

How the colour develops with each new leaf

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' develops colour through each new leaf cycle. Fresh growth is usually the brightest part of the plant, while older leaves become deeper and more subdued. This gives mature plants a layered look, with younger leaves standing out from the darker outer foliage.

The plant grows from a compact central stem with overlapping petiole bases. Good airflow around that centre helps keep the lower growth clean. Removing fully yellowed old leaves is fine, but cutting healthy lower leaves just to expose the stem can weaken the plant’s energy production and reduce the full shape.

As with other self-heading Philodendron cultivars, the roots need a breathable mix. A dense, wet substrate can cause lower leaf yellowing even when the top of the plant still looks firm. Bright indirect light supports active growth, while strong direct sun can scorch or bleach the glossy surface.

Care for active self-heading growth

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light for steady new growth. Avoid intense direct sun, especially through hot glass.
  • Watering: Water deeply once the top few centimetres of substrate have dried. Let excess water drain completely.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, perlite, pumice and organic matter. The mix should hold light moisture while staying airy.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18°C. Cold roots and wet soil can quickly damage the lower stem.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity supports smooth new leaves. Very dry air can contribute to brown edges during active growth.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during the growing season. Reduce feeding when the plant slows down.
  • Cleaning: Wipe glossy leaves with a soft damp cloth so dust does not dull the surface or block light.
  • Repotting: Repot into a slightly larger pot once roots are crowded. Keep the central stem at its previous planting depth.

Leaf colour, stem and root warning signs

  • Weak colour on new leaves: Check overall growth quality first. Very low light can reduce leaf size and slow new leaf production.
  • Yellow lower leaves: A single older leaf can be normal, but several yellowing leaves suggest too much moisture, compacted substrate or low light.
  • Brown patches: Crispy patches can come from direct sun or drought stress. Soft dark patches suggest wet, cold conditions or tissue damage.
  • Soft base: Inspect the roots and lower stem immediately. This often develops when the plant is planted too deeply or kept too wet.
  • Pest damage: Look for fine stippling, sticky residue or distorted new leaves. Check petioles, leaf backs and the central growth area.

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' grows best with consistent watering, warmth and a breathable mix. Regular rotation keeps the central growth balanced, and a stable pot helps prevent the plant from leaning as the leaves become larger.

Safety with Philodendron 'Imperial Red'

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' is not pet-safe. Leaves and stems contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, tongue and throat if ingested. Sap may irritate skin, so wash hands after pruning and keep removed leaves away from pets and children.

DeCoster origin and cultivar background

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and is native across tropical America as a genus. The name comes from Greek elements meaning “loving” and “tree”, linked to the tree-associated growth of many Philodendron species. Philodendron 'Imperial Red' was selected by Paul DeCoster in Melle, Belgium, from Bamboo Nursery seedlings of unknown parentage.

Philodendron 'Imperial Red' forms a full freestanding plant with red-toned new growth and darker mature foliage around the central crown.

Outstanding filter!
Color: White
This has been brilliant at getting dust removed from the air my breathing at night is so much better because it gets pollen out of the air and keeps everything fresh! I haven't used the auto control or sleep mode on purpose but it looks great runs quiet and does a wacking great job!

Great working air purifier for bedroom
Color: White
Works really well. The pre filter captures so much dust you can really tell it's working as it should. The screen shows how dirty the air is and you can watch it go down as it cleans, didn't think we would need that but it's been surprisingly satisfying to see the quality visually. Very quiet on the lowest setting, easy to sleep with.. gives a nice white noise. The highest still isn't bad, the volume is similar to like a normal tower fan. Design is nice, it's a good looking machine. The only negative would be how bright the small display screen is at night but we just cover it if needed. Haven't tried the oil extract diffuser and probably won't. Works very well for cigarette smell! I'm sure if we had two it would completely remove the smoke smell. Overall would definitely buy again.

Sound not an issue
Color: White
I've had this for about a month, so far works great. I smoke Cigars in my apartment and it is working good. Clears the smoke great even with the filter it came within is a bit loud on the 2nd and third setting, but it is not distracting. I leave it on the first setting over night and its quiet. Next morning there is no cigar smell. Of course I empty ash try. When I come home from work my place smells great and I hardly see see any dust on my glass TV stand and tables. I've read some bad reviews on the sound, but its something you don't hear when tv or radio is on. It really sounds like having a fan on. I would recommend this for the price. I've had other air purifiers no difference on sound.

MOOKA Air Purifier Rocks!
Color: White
I put my Mooka Air Purifier through a very hard test running it 24 hours a day 7 days a week 30 days in a 275 sq ft area so I could provide an accurate review. My husband and I have a dog, woodburning stove, our 115-year-old is close to the road and there is a limestone quarry across the street; our house is extraordinarily dusty. We noticed an improvement the very first day using our Mooka! The nighttime setting is silent so I was able to use it all night. When we’re in the room, we use settings 1 or 2 and can watch TV. When we are out of the room, we use setting 3. Setting 3 can be loud but that is okay, I need that extra power and it does a fantastic job. My Mooka is lightweight, easy to use and a compact workhorse. Another fantastic feature is the highly effective, affordable replacement Hepa filters that have a washable foam pre-filter. I paid under $80 for our Mooka and it is worth every penny. We are ordering a second one. The proof is in our air quality at home. Tried to upload photos of the filter, but could not, sorry!

This Thing WORKS!!!
Color: White
I have to rave about the quality and the "intelligence" of this product. When I first got it, I installed it in my kitchen along an exterior wall, about 25' away from cooking appliances. I noticed within the first week that the air in our house smelled much cleaner and overall fresher. It was a noticeable difference. We live right next to a gravel road, so there is constantly dust floating around. We notice far less dust in the air as well. The purifier was very easy to set up. I removed it from the box, inserted the filter, and plugged it in. Where I really noticed that it does a fantastic job was when a plastic packet got left on our stove element and began melting. The smoke and smell were obvious right away, and this purifier kicked in immediately, going into overdrive and running at full speed to get the smell and a little bit of smoke out of the room. I was extremely impressed. 10/10 would recommend this product.
