Compact and vibrant, Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ brings an energising splash of tropical warmth to modern spaces without demanding high maintenance.

Bold, radiant, and refined, Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ embodies the perfect balance of colour, resilience, and tropical sophistication.


Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its red pigmentation and encourages strong growth. It can tolerate moderate light but may lose colour intensity in lower light conditions. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the tender new leaves.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can cause root rot, while prolonged dryness may result in curling or browning leaves. In winter, reduce watering slightly to match the plant’s slower growth rate.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth between 20–30 °C; avoid temperatures below 16 °C.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Regular misting, a humidifier, or grouping with other tropicals will keep the foliage lush and glossy.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich aroid mix, such as compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. This ensures airflow while maintaining gentle moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the mix and give room for root expansion.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted, balanced fertiliser or a foliage-specific formula high in nitrogen and magnesium. Avoid over-fertilising, which can burn the roots or dull leaf colour. Suspend feeding in winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove older or damaged leaves at the base to maintain a clean, compact appearance. Wipe leaves regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and accentuate their natural shine. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even light exposure and uniform colouration.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate grower, Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ typically reaches 40–60 cm in height and spread indoors. Its self-heading, non-vining habit makes it a perfect tabletop or floor plant for smaller spaces. Over time, it develops a robust clump of colourful foliage that transitions gracefully from fiery red to glossy green, offering year-round visual interest.

Common Issues

  • Faded colour: Insufficient light.

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips or mealybugs; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ is a modern hybrid bred for colour intensity, compact growth, and adaptability. It originates from tropical breeding programmes that focused on developing self-heading Philodendrons with vivid pigmentation and low-maintenance traits.

Like other Philodendrons, it is a natural air purifier, removing common indoor toxins while adding oxygen and visual warmth. Its vibrant hues and structured growth make it a favourite choice for designers and plant enthusiasts looking to introduce colour and vitality into bright living spaces.

Styling Tip

Display Philodendron ‘Red Sun’ in a white, neutral, or charcoal-toned planter to let its vibrant red foliage take centre stage. It pairs beautifully with cooler-toned species such as Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’ or silver-leaved varieties like Epipremnum ‘Cebu Blue’ for balance. Ideal for desks, bright living rooms, or as a colour accent in tropical arrangements, this radiant hybrid adds warmth, energy, and modern sophistication to any indoor plant collection.

    Clean ingredients, great price, but...
    I want to love this product but I personally can't stand the oily texture and the smell. Maybe if you have super dry skin it will feel great on your skin PROS: The ingredients are great! super clean, the percentage of zinc oxide is perfect and almost the highest % recommended by dermatologists, so it protects the skin really well, no white cast because it's slightly tinted (a little cast at the beginning then it fades away) CONS (in my skin): it leaves my face super oily I have to use rice paper after I apply it to absorb the oiliness [sigh], I don't like the smell it bothers me a lot, it smells like old makeup.

    Perfect Everyday Tinted Face Sunscreen
    I am a long-time user of Think body sunscreen and tried this to replace my current department store tinted face sunscreen, which is being discontinued. I was amazed how well this performed, given the low price! It is literally 1/4 of the cost of my current face sunscreen and I am almost as happy with it! It was much lighter in tint than I was expecting, but blended easily and provided more "cosmetic" coverage than my current tinted face sunscreen, but without looking making me look made-up. My skin is light with reddish undertones, and it really helped to tone the red down as well, an unexpected bonus. That said, I typically use make up that is either the 2nd (or occasionally 3rd) from the fairest shade in the line, regardless of brand, and I am not sure how well this product would work on someone whose skin is even a little darker than mine, without being obvious. It is definitely too light for my sons, who have more olive-toned complexions. This product is highly moisturizing, and does take about 10 minutes to "set" before I feel comfortable applying powder to cover up the shine it leaves (a little more than a "glow"). Its efficacy is excellent--I really put it to the test outdoors and was pleased to see I had not to picked up any color from the sun when I washed it off. The other big plus is that it did not make me break out, and I have what my dermatologist calls, "reactive skin," which means anything from chemicals in face products to the hairdryer at the salon have been known to set it off. Finally, like their body sunscreen this face sunscreen gets a safety rating of "1" from the Environmental Working Group. I think I have found a winner!

    Nice face sunscreen!
    Great face sunscreen! It has high zinc and looks nice under makeup. I will continue to purchase. Not sure why it’s only a SPF of 30. It has 24% zinc which is higher. It’s a little thicker than some of the thinner ones I’ve used but I like that. I feel I’m getting good coverage

    An Effective Sunscreen With Some Drawbacks
    I like the safety and effectiveness of Thinksport tinted sunscreen. It's formulated carefully and I found it quite effective; I appreciate that it's not tested on animals. It is easy to apply and blends in with no chalky or white residue and doesn't come off easily (in fact washing it off later is not especially easy). I very much appreciated its effectiveness as I didn't ever burn when using this tube. With all that in mind why did I give it only three stars and throw away the tube before I even used half of it? Two reasons: I frequently run while wearing sunscreen and that, obviously, leads to sweating. When you sweat with this anything that you touch with a treated surface will be smeared with the brown tint of the sunscreen (particularly your shirt when your face, neck, or arms contact it, which may be more than you think). This looks akin to pancake makeup on clothes. It washed out of the shirts I got it on, but they did seem to get dingier after multiple cycles (especially around the collar). The second reason I didn't like this sunscreen is that when applied to the forehead and then perspiring this product really stung my eyes. I have had that product with some other brands as well, so it's definitely not a Thinksport exclusive issue, but still it's annoying. I used almost half the tube then switched back to my normal brand, which while also not ideal in some ways, doesn't have these issues. I have not given up on the Thinksport brand entirely, as I have recently purchased some of their untinted sunscreen. I have only used it a few times, but initial impressions are good. If you are unconcerned about the issues of staining from this product or you don't plan to wear it while doing anything strenuous, the tinted Thinksport sunscreen product may work great for you: it's easy to apply and quite effective.

    Have to protect our skin! This works
    My daughter in law recommended this. It is light weight but gives good Sun protection. The color tint is perfect. Easy to add to the morning skin routine
