A unique climbing Aroid known for its enormous, heart-shaped leaves that explode with colour is the Philodendron El Choco Red. The undersides of immature leaves are vivid red. Its crimson colouring gradually turns green as it ages. The texture of the leaves is satiny, almost velvety, and they have noticeable light green veins. Although your plant enjoys rain, it is an epiphyte (climbing kind) and does not naturally thrive in soil. Instead, they have aerial roots (above-ground) that climb on trees, which allows them to quickly dry off after being wet. For the growth of your Philodendron El Choco Red, a high humidity level of at least 60% is required. As a climber, your Philodendron El Choco Red needs a moss pole or trellis.
