Philodendron erubescens 'Shake' (Big)

A bold and dramatic climbing Philodendron from South American rainforests, celebrated for its large, deeply lobed, arrow-shaped leaves and striking bicolor display — emerging in warm copper-bronze tones before maturing to deep glossy green, all carried on vivid crimson-red petioles.

• Light: Bright indirect light; tolerates medium light but develops its best coloration and largest leaves with more brightness. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the foliage.
• Temperature: Warm-growing — 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: Prefers 60–80% humidity. A humidifier is recommended to maintain consistent moisture and encourage large leaf development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of substrate dry out; never allow the roots to sit in standing water. Reduce frequency slightly in cooler months.
• Growth Habit: Vigorous climber that produces increasingly larger leaves as it ascends. Provide a sturdy moss pole or totem to support upward growth and maximize leaf size.

Additional Notes:

New leaves emerge in rich copper-bronze to reddish hues with a velvety sheen, gradually transitioning to deep glossy green at maturity — a color shift that makes each new flush a visual event. Petioles are a distinctive deep red to crimson, contrasting sharply with the foliage. This listing is for a well-established, larger specimen — already showing mature leaf size and ready to make an immediate impact in your collection.
