The Philodendron Red Back is a unique, compact variety prized for its vibrant, glossy leaves that transition from burgundy to deep green as they mature, and its self-heading, non-trailing growth habit.
Large, glossy leaves that change color from burgundy to deep green. Bright red stems. Self-heading, meaning it grows upright rather than trailing or climbing.
The Red Back is different from many other philodendrons because it doesn't have a climbing habit. Growing instead in a 'self-heading' manner, extending both outward and upward. Philodendrons thrive in warm and well-lit positions with bright indirect light.
Close related to and sometimes labeled as Philodendron Congo Rojo Mini that have more cordate shape of the leaves while Red Back has ovate shape.
