Philodendron rubrijuvenile 'El Choco' is highly sought after for its unique heart shaped velvety leaves. The underside of the leaves have a red tint to them. This plant can sometimes be confused with Philodendron verrucosum but it is indeed its own species.
We recommend providing a coco pole for your Philodendron. As it climbs higher ,the leaves will grow larger!

The name Philodendron comes from the greek words "philo" (love or affection) and "dendron" (tree).
The item came carefully packaged and bigger than I expected. Can't wait to see this beauty grow
I think "starter plant" or "seedling" would have been a better description, as opposed to "short". Did not really look anything like the photo. Showed up pretty soaked, so I'm hoping it makes it.
It arrived on my doorstep and the anticipation did not disappoint! It was packaged with great care. It has brought such great pleasure!
Arrived nicely packed and itv great condition. It's growing like crazy!
I've ordered many plants from here and always good quality.
