Close

Philodendron 'Bloody Mary' (Bloody Mary Philodendron) is a compact, slow-to-moderate growing herbaceous perennial climber, believed to be a cultivated hybrid originating from tropical regions of Central and South America, where related species grow in humid rainforests under the canopy.

It features deep green to burgundy, lance-shaped leaves with reddish stems and petioles, making it highly decorative and a popular choice for modern indoor foliage displays or tropical garden accents.

Its striking coloration adds dramatic contrast in plant arrangements. (This cultivar does not typically flower indoors.)

This plant prefers bright, indirect light to light shade and thrives in well-draining, rich organic soil with consistent moisture. It is frost-sensitive, prefers warm conditions, and grows well in USDA Zones 10 11, or as a houseplant in cooler climates.

To keep it healthy and full, wipe leaves regularly, provide support for vertical growth, and fertilize monthly during the growing season.
