Philodendron 'Cherry Red' – Vibrant New Growth and Upright Hybrid Care
Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is a bold, self-heading hybrid known for its vivid red new leaves that slowly deepen into glossy green as they mature. The fresh growth emerges in shades ranging from cherry red to warm coral, creating a constant contrast against the darker, older foliage. With a bushy, upright form and strong stems, it grows neatly without needing a pole or support. Its sculptural shape, colourful foliage, and easy-going temperament make it a favourite for collectors who want tropical drama without the maintenance of a climber.
Foliage Colour and Structure of Philodendron 'Cherry Red'
- Leaf colour: Bright cherry red when young, maturing to deep green
- Texture: Smooth, thick, and semi-glossy with slightly wavy margins
- Form: Self-heading; dense rosette with upright growth habit
- Indoor size: Reaches 50 – 70 cm in height and width when mature
- Petioles: Red-toned, adding contrast and vibrancy to the plant’s core
Origin and Botanical Background of Philodendron 'Cherry Red'
Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is a cultivated hybrid, bred specifically for its colourful new foliage and compact, non-vining habit. While its parentage is not publicly confirmed, it shares characteristics with other Meconostigma-type hybrids that favour upright, self-supporting structures. Like many tropical aroids, it thrives in warm, humid environments between 20 – 28 °C with bright, indirect light. Its vibrant tones and manageable size make it ideal for growing indoors without needing climbing structures or frequent pruning.
Philodendron 'Cherry Red' is toxic if ingested and should be kept away from pets and small children.
How to Care for Philodendron 'Cherry Red'
- Light: Bright, indirect light enhances red pigmentation in new growth
- Watering: Water when the top 3 cm of soil is dry; avoid waterlogged conditions
- Humidity: Prefers 60 – 80% but tolerates average household levels
- Temperature: Ideal between 20 – 28 °C; protect from cold air or sudden changes
- Soil: Well-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and compost
- Repotting: Every 1 – 2 years or when roots begin circling the pot
- Fertilising: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertiliser
- Propagation: By division at the base; self-heading type, not vining
- Hydroponics: Can adapt to semi-hydro with proper humidity and airflow
- Pruning: Remove older leaves at the base to keep shape clean and tidy
Common Problems with Philodendron 'Cherry Red'
- Faded red colour: Often due to insufficient light – move to a brighter indirect spot
- Yellowing leaves: Typically caused by overwatering or poor drainage
- Browning tips: Can occur with low humidity or irregular watering
- Spider mites or thrips: May appear on new leaves – treat with neem or insecticidal spray
- Fungus gnats: Allow topsoil to dry slightly and improve airflow
Extra Growing Notes for Philodendron 'Cherry Red'
'Cherry Red' brings strong visual contrast with minimal effort. To maintain vivid colour, give it consistent light and avoid overfeeding, which can cause greener, less vibrant new growth. This hybrid grows in a tidy shape, making it ideal for containers, side tables, or floor pots where height and colour can shine. Mimic rainforest-like warmth and filtered light to keep it vigorous and full of glowing new leaves year-round.
Etymology and Cultivar Meaning of Philodendron 'Cherry Red'
Philodendron comes from the Greek “philo” (love) and “dendron” (tree), although this hybrid does not climb. The cultivar name 'Cherry Red' refers to the plant’s vivid red-toned new leaves, which resemble the colour of ripe cherries at emergence.

Great Banana Plugs!
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
These FosPower banana plugs work very well. I have used dozens of these great FosPower banana plugs over the years, and they definitely work as advertised. When comparing apples to apples (or bananas in this case....lol), all Banana plugs work virtually the same way, and these banana plugs are no different. Strip speaker wire, unscrew banana plug cover, loosen speaker wire retaining screw(s), insert speaker wire, tighten speaker wire retaining screw(s), screw on banana plug cover, and wallah, a secure/conductive speaker/amplifier wire connector is created. Albeit, some banana plugs require the speaker wire to be splayed over a hollow post, and then they are held down by a screw-on retainer/cover. However, I much prefer these FosPower dual retaining screw type of banana plugs for their speaker wire holding ability.
I always use high quality 14 gauge OFC speaker wire with these FosPower banana plugs, and they work perfectly together. I have used these FosPower banana plugs with many different speaker and amplifier brands over the years, including Klipsch, Pioneer, Polk, Denon, Dayton Audio, and Fosi with no problems at all. They just work, and work well. I have never had a FosPower banana plug break, release the speaker wire or short out, in all of the years that I have used them.
Yes, these FosPower banana plugs do fit rather tightly into the connectors, at first, on a lot of speaker and amplifier brands/models. However, after the initial "squeeze" the banana plugs will lossen up, and become easier to install and remove. However, they still retain their great holding ability even after the initial squeeze. In order to overcome this initial "tightness," I usually just stick the FosPower banana plugs into a connector of an old portable amplifier, before assembling them, in order to squeeze them before inserting them into their final speaker or amplifier destinations. This is especially useful when working in tight places, where there is not much room to work in order to push the FosPower banana plugs into their tight connections firmly.
Overall, I highly recommend these FosPower banana plugs. I am currently using them all over the house and shop for home theater and music listening (and testing projects). Just be aware of the tight fit in some speakers and amplifiers. Also, the 2 very tiny speaker wire retaining screws can be a challenge sometimes. Just use a good standard blade jewelers screwdriver, and be careful not to remove the retaining screws all of the way or over-tighten them. Once these things are mastered, using these FosPower banana plugs becomes second nature. Have fun!

The most legit banana plugs I could find on Amazon
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs, Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
NEW PREFACE:: I am kind of glad I first bought the horribly magnetic, horribly made and GOLD PAINTED Sewell crimp on plugs (some reviewers say that Sewell are better and easier to use than the FosPower, which is true in design, but in quality of materials FosPower beats them hands down!!) ... Changing from those to these FosPower plugs plus the Monoprice 90° plugs, I am flabbergasted at the difference they make in sound quality. I have heard people say that they can hear the difference and even as an audiophile I was skeptical..... but my skepticism has been completely erased by what I am hearing with my own ears. I waited a few days to make sure I wasn’t just tripping before updating this review 🤣....but it has become clear to me how much a difference plugs made from the right materials actually make!!! I am 100% serious that the bass coming out of my Polk Signature Series tower speakers has at least doubled at the same volume. I can also now turn the volume up Way past my max volume before, without any distortion and much more clarity and less harsh highs. Everything just sounds warmer in general now which is amazing!!!! This is dangerous info for me... because now I’m thinking about making some really nice custom wires to see how much of a difference that makes 🙄🙄🤣 OK onto the review of the actual plugs here~~
These seem like decent connectors. I can’t tell if they are brass or copper, but they only have a slight hint of a magnetic property when testing them with a very powerful magnet. I was easily able to fit x2 - 14ga wires into it for bi-wiring purposes, including screwing on the collar. (As seen in my example pic) The gold plating on the tips seems legit and not painted like some of the plugs from Sewell... I have tested and tried quite a few plugs from Amazon and most seem to be crap. These however hold up better than most! These and the Monoprice 90° banana plugs with the black and red rubber sleeves. The latter are gold plated copper and have zero magnetic properties. (if you need 90° banana plugs)
UPDATE: still the best plugs I have found, but upon full install found two issues. One is a defect where a set of the plug threads for the barrel cover body weren’t cut right. The body’s do not tighten and stay loose because of that. Obvious issue for vibration with metal on metal...
The other issue is that even though these say they can fit different gauge wires, they seem to be geared more towards 12 or 10 gauge. I am using semi solid strand 14 gauge and find that unless I fold the wire over to make it double thick, the bolts use up all the thread and seem to become kind of loose inside the body. They won’t fully seat and keep spinning no matter how much you tighten. They seem to stay secure still but I just wonder about longevity over time with vibrations. So I just doubled up the wire and they seated fine! Not the worst issue in the world, but just kind of a pain since you have to strip the wire longer than you normally would so you can fold it over.
ANOTHER UPDATE: I had to remove these plugs from the wire to connect them to a crappy spring terminal amp while my better amp was in the shop. The issue I wrote about with the set screws "bottoming out" on smaller gauge wire became a more pronounced issue! I could not unscrew the set screws anymore and just had to cut the wires... So that means I will need to purchase more of these to replace the ones I cannot get wire back into. Not the best design, but still one of the best plugs I have found on Amazon.

Sturdy. Tight fit. No wobble
Size: 2 Pairs / 4 pcs
These are the best ones I’ve found. This order will connect one wire. Luckily that’s what I needed. If you’re doing more than one wire…

Superior Design!
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
Delivery was lightning fast.
I tried a pack of two pairs of these banana jacks as a sample to see if these would meet my needs. The design of these plugs is superior. The design was exactly what I wanted because the speaker wire is secured with TWO set screws. Then I ordered an additional six pairs of plugs to hook up my subwoofer to my amp and speakers.
(I feed the audio output from the amp to the sub. The sub has a crossover that keeps the low frequencies and sends the mid and treble frequencies to my bookshelf speakers.)
I love the security of two set screws on each plug and love the barrel that screws on AFTER the wire is secured by the set screws. Most banana plugs have a hole through the shaft of the plug that receives the stripped wire. Then the barrel cover is screwed down to secure the wire in the plug. This design compresses the speaker wire but eventually the cap loses it grip and allows the connection between the wire and the plug to become loose. Then the transfer of the audio signal becomes poor and the speakers sound bad. Every month or two I needed to check all the banana plugs and re-tighten many of them for the best performance. The two set screws eliminate this problem. The set screws are quite small and take a little extra care in installation. You will need a small flat blade screwdriver to tighten them. I used the 1/8" flat blade driver from a set of jewelers screwdrivers.
These well made plugs are a bit pricier that many of the banana plugs available but certainly not the priciest plugs available. For me, the slightly higher price was more than offset by the security of the wire within the plug.
I'm not thrilled with the extra tight fit of the tip on the plugs into the jacks. It took a lot of effort to insert the in the jack. Actually I "greased" the pins (very sparingly) with with non-corrosion, conductive paste (Ox-Gard, No-Corrode, etc. Do NOT use any other grease.) Next time I'll use pliers to compress the pin.
My only quibbles are that the spring pins that go into the jack are very tight and that the plugs are only sold in quantities of two pairs or 12 pairs.
I recommend these banana plugs for all who are using the banana plugs and jacks for hooking up your speakers. It's a very convenient way of connecting speakers if your speakers and amplifier have the banana jack as part of the binding post. Further, it's much safer to use banana plugs since the possibility of shorting your amplifier with a stray strand of wire is practically zero. Easy Five Stars.
