Philodendron 'Red Anderson'

Philodendron 'Red Anderson' is a climbing cultivar of tropical American Philodendron ancestry, grown for its marbled foliage. The elongated, glossy leaves show a mix of deep green, creamy white, blush pink, and red tones that develop unpredictably from leaf to leaf. It climbs readily with a slender but robust vining stem, producing aerial roots at each node. Its colour variation from leaf to leaf is more pronounced than in most other cultivated Philodendrons.
