Philodendron erubescens
Blushing Philodendron
The two popular types of Philodendron are climbers and non-climbing varieties. The climbers, are suited to the average room as long as you provide firm support for the stems. The climbing Philodendrons produce aerial roots from the stems. Most of the non-climbers are capable of growing into immense plants with large, deeply lobed leaves. These are more suited to buildings with large open spaces. Average wamth is required, not less than 55F in winter. Philodendron erubescens is a species climbing philodendron which is native to Columbia. It has heart shaped leaves with a slight reddish hue when juvenile, maturing to a dark green colour. It produces in maturity deep red spathes.

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Position near to a window where direct sunlight cannot touch the foliage. If the plant gets too much light, the leaves will begin to turn yellow. If the stems are long and leggy without plenty of leaves, the plant is most likely to be receiving insufficient light.
Propagation
From Early Summer TO Late Summer
Cuttings require warm conditions. In summer, take stem cuttings or air layer the climbing varieties. With non-climbing varieties, shoots taken from the base of the stem can be used as cuttings.
