Up for sale is the SUPER RARE & AWESOME  Philodendron 'RED EMPRESS'  (The real one)

This is a FANTASTIC BIG specimen with great color! (see last 4 pics) This is one of only ones we've ever sold, and our ONLY specimen available!

"Red Empress" is similar in form to Philodendron Pluto and "Henderson's Pride" but with red coloration.

I've been growing this plant in my private collection for a few years after finally acquiring it after years of searching.  This is the first time we've ever sold one!

RED EMPRESS is an amazing plant.  It has the deep red coloration of Pink Princess / McColley's Finale (deep purpley-red petioles with red emergent leaves and colored leaf back)

mixed with a sawtooth leaf shape similar to that of Henderson's Pride, but wider and less elongated.

It is a real beauty, and one that you pretty much never see.  Definitely the crown jewel of any collection.

RED EMPRESS is not difficult to grow, it moves at a medium pace and is quite hardy.  It can probably climb if grown out long enough, but I've kept mine as a mounder.

The leaves are amazing, emerging with a red coloration and then going to a deep green on the top with coloration on the back (see photos)

A super rare collector's Philodendron that will blow people away!
