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.

Simple Everyday Basic That Works Well – 5 Stars
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
These are just good basic cotton swabs and honestly work just as well as more expensive brands I’ve bought before. The tips stay together well and don’t feel super flimsy, and the big pack lasts forever. Simple everyday item but definitely worth buying again.

Value for money
Size: 500 Count (Pack of 1)
We reorder this item frequently. The cotton content is excellent and is thick. It doesn’t pull off easily. The quantity in the box is plenty to get our family of four through a month. If you have skin sensitivity, these are for you. We have sensitive skin in our family and have no concerns with this product. This product cleans well and the shape of the actual cotton tip holds well.

Amazing Pimple Patches - Actually Work!
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
Effectiveness: These Mighty Patch Original hydrocolloid patches have been absolutely incredible for treating breakouts quickly and effectively without harsh chemicals or painful extraction. The patches work remarkably well overnight, drawing out impurities and reducing the size and inflammation of pimples by morning. I love how they protect blemishes from picking and touching, which prevents further irritation and scarring. The clear design makes them virtually invisible during wear, so I can use them during the day without feeling self-conscious. The patches stick securely without being painful to remove, and they genuinely speed up the healing process compared to leaving breakouts untreated. Quality: Hero Cosmetics has created an exceptional product with these hydrocolloid patches that clearly demonstrates superior manufacturing quality. The adhesive is perfectly balanced - strong enough to stay in place through sleep and daily activities but gentle enough to remove without skin irritation. The hydrocolloid material is high-grade and effectively draws out fluid and impurities without over-drying the surrounding skin. The patches maintain their integrity throughout wear and don't fall apart or lose effectiveness. The sterile packaging ensures product safety and hygiene, which is essential for treating open or inflamed skin. Value for Money: These pimple patches provide outstanding value when you consider how effectively they treat breakouts while preventing scarring and further damage from picking. The cost per patch is reasonable considering the dramatic results they deliver, often clearing blemishes faster than expensive acne treatments. The prevention of scarring alone makes these worth far more than their price, as treating acne scars is much more expensive and time-consuming than preventing them. The convenience and effectiveness make these far more cost-effective than multiple skincare products or dermatologist visits for individual breakouts. These patches have become essential in my skincare routine and consistently deliver impressive results. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with occasional or persistent breakouts who wants fast, effective treatment!

The best patches!
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
These work amazingly well! I just stick one on before bed and by morning the pimple is noticeably flatter and less red. It really does what it says without any picking or irritation. They stay on all night even if I toss and turn, which I was surprised by, and they don’t feel uncomfortable at all while sleeping. I also like that they’re thin and kind of blend into the skin, so you don’t really notice them if you wear them during the day either. Super simple, effective, and way less stressful than dealing with breakouts the usual way. They fit well and the size is great, really absorbs all the yuck from a pimple. A great value for money!

Works Overnight—A Must‑Have for Surprise Breakouts
Size: 36 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried a lot of pimple patches over the years, and the Mighty Patch Original truly lives up to the hype. These patches are incredibly easy to use and work best overnight—just apply to clean, dry skin and let them do their thing. By morning, whiteheads are noticeably smaller (sometimes completely gone), redness is reduced, and the gunk is visibly absorbed into the patch. I love that they’re thin, clear, and stay put all night without irritation. They also prevent me from touching or picking at my skin, which is a huge bonus. The 36-count pack is a great value, and I always keep these on hand for surprise breakouts before an important day. Simple, effective, and gentle—this is one skincare product I consistently repurchase. Highly recommend!
