I like to think of this plant as the fearsome sibling of the Philodendron Pink Princess (Philodendron erubescens ‘Pink Princess’). While there’s more of them around, the red suns give less drama and more kick to your home garden, with hot red leaves that streak out at the top of the plant before cooling down into an elegant shade of green. It’s climbing pattern seems to lie somewhere in between the philodendron pink princess and philodendron black cardinal.
