The smooth, glossy green leaves of the upright philodendron imperial green cultivar are highly valued. The juvenile leaves of the imperial red type are a vivid red, which eventually matures to burgundy red-purple and finally dark glossy green. Both varieties are eye-catching foliage plants in any area thanks to their big, outward-facing leaves. Although they can withstand more shade, both imperial kinds prefer moderate to brilliant indirect sunlight.
