Philodendron Erubescens

Not that I would ever choose a favorite plant but this is my favorite plant. I saw this plant one of the first times I was in a plant store and fell in love with the orange leaves because my favorite color is orange. However, I could not spend a lot of money at the time, so I took a photo and put it on my plant wishlist. Each time I visited a plant store, I would look for this plant but it was not very popular. Finally, a year later I was with my friend and I spotted the plant and immediately bought it. It was the largest plant I have ever gotten, though it’s still pretty small compared to other house plants people buy. Right now, my plant has been going through a rough period because it was not getting enough light, but now that I have moved back to Boston I hope it gets better!
