Undid revision 1155277713 by 190.14.251.93 (talk) the source says red-leaf philodendron |
Removed tangential sections in the end, which discuss aroids in general or completely different plants (Colocasias and Alocasias). These do not belong to this page. Cleaned up the listing of cultivars. |

All parts of ''P. erubescens'' are toxic and should be kept away from pets and young children.<ref name="Clemson01" /> The leaves, stems, flowers, roots and petioles of all plants in the family ''Araceae'' contain varying amounts of [[calcium oxalate]] crystals (as do many thick-leaved, tropical plants). These compounds are not unique to aroids, as they are also found in some commonly consumed vegetables, like [[Swiss chard]] or [[spinach]]. For the unaware, the ingestion (or mere tasting) of any part of the plants can cause symptoms ranging from a few hours of oral tingling and esophageal irritation, to nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting;<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.exoticrainforest.com/Calcium%20oxalate%20crystals.html |title= Calcium oxalate crystals |publisher=Exotic Rainforest rare tropical plants |accessdate=26 September 2022}}</ref> the rare, worst-case scenario would potentially see kidney stones developing in the patient (due to calcium oxalate buildup).<ref>{{cite journal|title=Oxalate, inflammasome, and progression of kidney disease |author=Theresa Ermer, Kai-Uwe Eckardt, and Felix Knauf |journal=Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension |date=July 2016 |volume=25 |issue=4 |pages=363–371 |doi=10.1097/MNH.0000000000000229 |pmid=27191349 |pmc=4891250 }}</ref> Another aroid genera, 'Colocasia' (and sometimes 'Alocasia'), has a potato-like [[corm]] or bulb, which when boiled and mashed, is perfectly edible as a root vegetable. The leaves are also consumed in several countries in Asia, but careful attention is paid to their steaming and cooking. Inadequate, rushed cooking time will not allow for complete breakdown of the cell walls; if eaten, undercooked leaves of 'Colocasia' can still cause oxalate irritation, itchiness or even pain in the esophagus, mouth, and digestive tract. |

Philodendron erubescens, the blushing philodendron or red-leaf philodendron, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to Colombia.[1][2] It is a robust evergreen climber growing to 3–6 m (10–20 ft), with red stems and heart-shaped leaves up to 40 cm (16 in) in length. The flowers are deep red, fragrant spathes up to 15 cm (6 in) long, in summer and autumn.[3][4] The specific epithet erubescens means "blushing".[5]

With a minimum temperature of 15 °C (59 °F), in temperate regions it must be grown under glass or as a houseplant. It prefers indirect or filtered sunlight but will also tolerate lower light conditions. Similarly high humidity is ideal but it will manage with less.[6]
More than a dozen hybrid cultivars of P. erubescens can commonly be found in cultivation, including 'Black Cardinal', 'Birkin' , 'Burgundy' , 'Green Emerald', 'Green Princess', 'Imperial Green', 'Imperial Red', 'McColley’s Finale', 'Moonlight', 'Pink Princess', 'Prince of Orange', 'Red Emerald', 'Rojo Congo', 'White Princess', and 'White Wizard'.[6][7][8]
Most of these cultivars are considered “self-heading”, and not climbing; in time, they form dense, compact colonies of individual plants, originating from a single larger stalk.[6] The species, as well as some cultivars, have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[9]
All parts of P. erubescens are toxic due to calcium oxalate and should be kept away from pets and young children.[6]
