I.D. for this Red-Stemmed Philodendron

Ellendale, DE(Zone 7a)

Can anyone give me a positive I.D. for this red-stemmed, reddish-leaf philodendron? Thanks so much.

It looks like my Philodendron erubescens 'Red Emerald', but the growth on yours looks a bit weak. You might have it in too much shade.

It's indoors, which might explain its legginess. Thanks.

Anyone else? It might be a different cultivar. The leaves are quite red on the undersides and on top as well.

There are so many Philodendrons with erubescens used as a parent plant which makes it impossible to say exactly which one you have being that your plant is so juvenile. Allow it to mature out a lot more and then perhaps someone "may" know.

There's always a lot of variation with these. I have lots of plants which are originally cuttings starting off from the one plant done over many years. But there's still lots of differences amongst them. Especially between new and older mature leaves, exposure to light/sun, even differences with the changing of the seasons. And all basically clones of the same plant.
