Philodendron 'Autumn'

Philodendron 'Autumn' earns its name from the colour progression of its new growth, which unfurls in fiery shades of copper, orange and deep red before gradually shifting through bronze and finally settling into a rich, glossy green. Because leaves at different stages of this transition are usually visible on the plant at once, a mature specimen displays a genuine autumnal gradient across its canopy. It is an upright, self-heading grower that stays relatively compact, making the seasonal colour show easy to appreciate at eye level without needing a large support.
