Question about species of plant. I bought it at Home Depot under the tag “assorted tropical” at first I assumed it was a philodendron cherry red. As all new leaves were bright red and older were green. Then the red turned burgundy, so I thought it was sun red. Then they turned basically black so maybe black cardinal??! I really need help.

hmm.. after tremendous research, I have decided that this is a red plant! Like not this red-♥️ but THIS red- ❤️. Also I think it’s HALLOWEEEEEEENNNB

Maybe Congo rojo?

#### KJM님이 2026-10-04에 답변했습니다.

I think Congo rojo is a good possibility. It could also be black cardinal which has darker leaves than the Congo rojo.

#### Adi🪴님이 2026-10-05에 답변했습니다.

I’ve sorta ruled out rojo Congo as it doesn’t have the same leaf shape or stem shape. Also the transition from the red to almost blackish brown took around 2-3 months whereas the rojo Congo takes much shorter usually.I appreciate the suggestion though!

Royal Queen, Bloody Mary or Imperial Red

I also put a picture of what the plants new red leaves look like before they turn dark!

### Adi🪴님이 2026-10-05에 댓글을 남겼어요.

I should also provide a picture of the plants fresh red leaves.

How about Red Sun. What do you think of that?

#### Adi🪴님이 2026-10-05에 답변했습니다.

I noticed the red from the sun red philodendron is a lot more warm/oranigish, whereas this one has kinda all been more ruby/purplish

Looking good though I got one as a gift it was over watered so I had to repot it while it did it broke into two plants . Now I have two of them . They aren’t that happy yet I am learning about this plant it’s seems it might be a bit dramatic lol at least mine yours looks great
