Philodendron Ring of Fire
Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’ · A cultivated hybrid
A rare, slow-growing philodendron with long, deeply serrated leaves that emerge fiery orange and red, then mature through cream and green — often marbled with all of those colors at once.
Available in 6 inchCare
Light
Bright, indirect light brings out the best fiery coloration and variegation. Keep it out of harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves and the pale variegated sections; too little light mutes the color.
Water
Water when the top inch of soil is dry and let excess drain. Avoid soggy soil, which leads to root rot. It appreciates average-to-higher humidity.
Soil & Feeding
Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix. Feed lightly during the growing season. It’s a naturally slow grower, so don’t rush it — new leaves are worth the wait.

Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’ · a serrated-leaf hybrid philodendron
Ring of Fire is a sought-after hybrid philodendron famous for two things: its long, deeply toothed, almost jagged leaves, and its dramatic, shifting color. New leaves can emerge fiery orange and red, then transition through cream, white, and deep green as they age — so a single plant often shows the whole spectrum at once.
It’s a notoriously slow grower, which (along with its looks) is part of why it’s prized by collectors.
Give it bright, indirect light to keep the coloring vivid and the variegation strong, water when the top inch of soil dries, and use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix. Protect it from harsh direct sun and don’t let it sit soggy. A little extra humidity and patience go a long way.
A true showpiece for plant lovers — and, like all philodendrons, toxic if ingested, so keep it away from pets and children.
