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.

    Can't ask for more from a 7.1 or 5.1.2 receiver
    Style: Receiver, Style: Receiver
    My previous Yamaha receiver was 10 ys old, and was an entry level 5.1 model (RX-V373). I accidentally fried it by putting my phone's USB connector in. I have been wanting to upgrade for a while the last few yrs but waited it out until receivers have 8k pass through (so whenever 8k becomes more of a thing I can keep this new one a bit longer). The 3773 had 4k pass through when I got it 10 yrs ago, well before 4k became as available as it is now for example, which was one reason I held out on replacing as long as I did. This time around I decided to step up into the premium Aventage line of Yamaha. It was between this & the A4A, not a huge price difference, but I would have needed to replace my entertainment center since the A4A is too deep to fit. Didn't seem worth it & now I'm really happy with my choice. My living room set up (in a condo) has 2 surrounds, to add 2 more would require building mounts on the wall (couch is against the wall with 2 surrounds on side tables) which I don't want. This has 7 channels to allow for 2 Atmos front firing speakers which I got & love how immersive it sounds. Bi-amping the front towers is an option, but that uses 2 extra channels so the Atmos front speakers can't be connected at the same time as bi-amping. I experimented with biamping & biwiring & couldn't hear any difference so I have the fronts biwired, allowing for the 2 Atmos front connections. New features/improvements from my old receiver include more power/watts, lower THD & better sound, streaming music directly from the receiver with Music Cast, and it processes Atmos & DTS audio. One key feature all the Aventage models have that the RX ones don't is the 5th foot in the middle, which was designed & tested to improve the sound with more stabilization. Aventage also has a 3 yr warranty (vs 2 for RX). The top of the line RX model looks identical in specs which I also considered but it just sounds like this 1st Aventage model is slightly better with it its parts & sound quality, and not that much more. Especially since I got the A2A on sale for 999.95 (vs the 1200 price). I actually bought this for 1150 which was a teeny mark down, and then saw Amazon put it on sale for 999.95 shortly after (about 2 weeks). Amazon customer service was great when I called about that, and they credited the difference. Back to the receiver...2 subwoofers can be connected, and an amplifier for the 2 front speakers can be connected as well through pre outs. Probably more improvements but those are the main ones. Along with this receiver upgrade, I also upgraded my subwoofer & added a Nvidia Shield Pro streamer (due to it handling Atmos & 4k upscaling of lower hd content, which my Roku Ultra cannot do). My system now includes Polk TSI 400 front towers Polk CS20 center, Polk T15 surrounds (all of these Polk speakers are from 10 yrs ago as well & still work great for me, they sound better too with this receiver). I added Klipsch R-41SA Atmos front firing speakers, and upgraded from a Polk PSW505 subwoofer to an SVS SB3000 (night & day difference with that upgrade!). Have a Roku Ultra from a few yrs ago, and the Nvidia as well now. The TV also will be upgraded at some point, but I'm perfectly content with it now (is a 7 yrs old 55 inch 4K Sony Bravia). This receiver also processes Dolby Vision which I'd need a new TV for, as well as eArc which this receiver also has. Over time I will continue adding to my set up. A decent record player is next, and a current blu ray player (the one I have is rather old & only has 1080p). Then a new TV & A 2nd sub (will get another SVS SB3000). The last & most expensive upgrade will be the rest of the speakers. From Polk to B&W most likely, but when I get to this I will compare both at the same price point as I am still very impressed with the quality of my Polks for their price point. I also plan to add an amp (Emotiva most likely) to power the fronts. Another reason I was ok with the A2A watts per channel for now (100 with 2 channels driven for music, unsure what it is at 5.1.2 but it's plenty especially with the thunder the SVS sub provides even at low volumes, and the ability to boost dialogue in addition to the center channel. I'd rather get a dedicated amp for more music power than a higher priced receiver just due to more watts. Very pricey to do all of this at once (in particular the speakers & amp), but for now I am thrilled with how much better everything sounds with these phase 1 upgrades. Highly recommend it, if you are coming from an entry level budget receiver this can pump more life into your current speakers.

    Sounds fantastic and easy to operate
    Style: Receiver
    I used to sell home audio equipment a long time ago and I love this unit! Nice & clean look, the layout for inputs/output is standard and easy to see and the remote makes sense...well, to me it does lol. I had purchased an O***o unit because it's been good brand for a while...returned it because it was defective but I didn't care for it (you had to be a real audiophile to get into the setup and who has time for that?). The Yamaha is easy to work with and sounds fantastic. Make sure you don't go cheap on the speakers!

    Great when on sale
    Style: Receiver
    Update: I got a new Sony X90L TV and this receiver just doesn't like that TV or something. I've had at least 4 instances where the TV said there was no signal. The receiver was on and the proper input was selected. If I hit the menu button on the receiver, I could see that. No inputs on the receiver would work. Unplugging the power from the receiver and plugging it back in fixes the problem in every case. Based on my googling, many others have similar problems. Yamaha receivers are generally over priced I've noticed. And they seem to skimp on features, e.g. a receiver with an MSRP of $1000 doesn't have a single analog video input. I got this on sale for $650 and for that I'm quite happy. I had a Denon that I got pretty inexpensively, but I hated the Denon. Things didn't work, it was confusing, didn't sound all that good and didn't do HDMI input switching well. The Yamaha is a far better reliever in every way. It does cost quite a bit more but it's just so much nicer.

    Modern interfaces, clean sound of Yamaha, tons of features and intelligence.
    Style: Receiver
    Modern interfaces, clean sound of Yamaha, tons of features and intelligence. Purchased this to replace my amazing RX3300 (it started turning off on its own), and wasn't sure these newer generations of AV receivers would have the same clean and powerful sound, but the RX-A2A did not disappoint. Plus I am loving all of the new features and more relevant interfaces. It provides great value for the price. It is one of the few brands that kept the original sound as natural as possible (of course, there are plenty of modes to choose from for specific characteristics, but only if you choose). Perfect fit for my large family room.

    Hours of my life I won’t get back.
    Style: Receiver
    I tried to make this system work. I REALLY did. Probably blew 10 hours trying to somehow make it work. Had to return it. Customer Support - What customer support? Yamaha cut hours from weak 9 to only 5 hrs a day. Email/chat got no call back. It’s so bad I’m not sure Yamaha is gonna make it. Lip sync - Impossible to fix video to sound lag. Musiccast wireless - See lag. Also sound is tinny as hell. Also won’t stay linked. Could not get speakers to respond to giant volume knob. Would respond to app. App was mediocre. Tried to use with YSP-5600 sound bar which is allegedly Mussiccast. Nope. In short, it has been a HORRIBLE experience and I really tried.
