Philodendron sp. 'El Choco Red' 140mm Nursery Pot

Product Description

If you're looking for a plant that feels a little bit special, Philodendron 'El Choco Red' delivers in all the right ways.

Highly sought after by collectors, this stunning Philodendron is prized for its velvety heart-shaped foliage, prominent veining and rich burgundy-red undersides. New leaves emerge with warm bronze and copper tones before maturing into deep green velvet, creating a constantly evolving display of colour and texture.

A true collector's plant with serious wow factor.
