Philodendron 'El Choco Red' (Philodendron rubrijuvenile)

Philodendron 'El Choco Red' is Philodendron rubrijuvenile, an accepted Philodendron species from Colombia. It is grown for velvety green upper leaf surfaces and red to burgundy tones on juvenile leaf backs, with the strongest colour usually visible while the leaf is young.

The plant grows as a climbing aroid with nodes that can produce aerial roots. A textured support, steady warmth and higher humidity help the stem anchor and allow the leaves to become larger and more defined.

Velvety green leaves with red juvenile backs

  • Species and origin: Accepted Philodendron species native to Colombia.
  • Foliage: Velvety green upper surfaces with red to burgundy tones on young leaf backs.
  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with aerial roots at the stem nodes.
  • Growing conditions: Warm, humid conditions and an airy mix help roots stay active and new velvet leaves unfurl cleanly.
  • Support response: Leaves usually become larger and more defined when the stem can climb.

Colombian origin of Philodendron rubrijuvenile

Philodendron rubrijuvenile Croat & R.Kaufmann was published in Aroideana 45(1): 214 in 2022 and is accepted as native to Colombia, where it grows primarily in the wet tropical biome. Indoors, keep it in bright filtered light, warm root conditions, higher humidity and a lightly moist, airy substrate.

The velvety blade surface marks more easily than thick glossy Philodendron foliage. Keep water directed into the substrate rather than over the velvet leaves, and let new foliage unfurl without handling. The red underside is a juvenile-growth feature, so individual leaves can soften in colour as they mature.

Warmth, humidity and support for velvet foliage

  • Light: Give bright indirect light, around 10,000–20,000 lux; strong direct sun can mark the velvety leaf surface.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 30–50% of the mix has dried, then let excess water drain fully.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or pumice and a modest moisture buffer.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to hold the climbing stem and support securely.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the support becomes unstable or the substrate starts breaking down. Move up gradually to keep the root zone airy.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60–80% for smoother leaf expansion and better aerial-root activity.
  • Temperature: Keep at 18–29°C and protect the plant from temperatures below 15°C.
  • Support: Train the stem onto a moss pole, tree-fern-style pole or plank while the internodes are still flexible.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser at low to moderate strength during active growth.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm and supported. Supported stems can produce larger leaves over time.
  • Placement: Place it where the velvet leaves have room to open without rubbing against glass, walls, shelves or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping.
  • Propagation: Root stem cuttings with at least one node in warm, humid conditions.

Leaf marks, stalled unfurling and pest checks

  • Crispy patches: Check for direct sun, dry root pockets or low humidity around emerging leaves.
  • Stalled leaf unfurling: Increase humidity and check that the root ball is not drying too hard between waterings.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Inspect the root zone for cold, wet mix or poor drainage.
  • Small new leaves: Check light, support and root health. Undersized growth often appears when the stem cannot climb or the roots are weak.
  • Fine speckling or dull patches: Check leaf undersides, petiole bases, cataphylls and new growth for thrips, mites, mealybugs and scale.

Ingestion safety

Philodendron rubrijuvenile is toxic if ingested. It contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue and throat. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children, and wash hands after pruning or taking cuttings if sap contacts the skin.

Rubrijuvenile and El Choco Red

Philodendron is an Araceae genus whose name comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”, reflecting the climbing or tree-associated habit of many species. The species epithet rubrijuvenile refers to the red colour of immature leaves. The plant circulated as Philodendron sp. 'El Choco Red' before it was described as Philodendron rubrijuvenile.

Choose Philodendron 'El Choco Red' for velvety green leaves and red-toned juvenile leaf backs on a Colombian climbing Philodendron.

Great purchase
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I've had my Circle Joy Frother since May 11th, and I've have used it every day. It's the best frother I've ever ordered or owned. It's powerful, works great and it's rechargeable, no batteries to buy for this one. I'll buy this one again if or when it stops working. I'm very satisfied.

Game Changer for Coffee Lovers
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I purchased the Circle Joy Rechargeable frother mostly because of the price. The frothy-whipped cream is a treat on the weekends, and the last hand frother I purchased zapped out. WoW - this one is amazing! The last one I had was battery operated, and wasn't as fast as this one. I now use it everyday because it works so quickly. It comes with a "lid" for the blender part, so I can toss in my briefcase. Love that recharges quickly so its ready when I am. Great price, easy to use, looks sleek, and tiny enough to take with you. LOVE, FiVE Stars

Great for short term
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
Works great when it works.... But I've bought three this year and two of them just unexpectedly died with no logical reason. Giving up and trying a new brand for my protein coffee drinks. *Edit....after original review the seller offered a refund and apologized for the issues I had. Bumping up my rating for proactive customer service and trying to make things right.

Great buy!
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
Great product. I'm glad I bought this to replace my old, cheap one that I got from Ikea. I like that it has double whisk as it does froth my liquids really well. I like the speed of it and it's easy to use and wash. The battery life is pretty long as well. I haven't charged it since I got it.

Pretty darn good frother...
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
This is a pretty darn good frother/whisk, which we use primarily for mixing Crystal Light and LMNT drinks. It holds a charge for a long time and it is easy to recharge with the USB-C port and cable. My only complaint is that you must hold the power button continuously while operating it which is challenging to do using tall cups. It would be much better if is was a two stage on-off switch and had a longer wand, which isn't as long as it could be. But the unit is lightweight, easy to use and very versatile. Overall, I would buy it again.
