Warm-toned foliage that shifts from copper to orange to red as new growth hardens off — this philodendron earns its name through color, not temperament. Keep it in a spot with plenty of ambient glow, give it room to climb or trail depending on your setup, and water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

A slow grower that rewards patience with leaves that deepen in hue over time. Pick one up in fall or late winter when stock comes in.
