Philodendron 'Red Anderson' Variegata
Philodendron 'Red Anderson' Variegata is a variegated climbing Philodendron with red-toned new growth, burgundy stems, and glossy leaves marked in green, cream, white, and red-pink. New leaves can show different mixes of marbling, streaks, pale sectors, and green tissue.
Young foliage often carries the warmest tones before hardening into deeper green with cream-white variegation. The stems and petioles keep a darker red tone between new leaves. As the stem lengthens, a pole, plank, hardwood stake, or coco support gives aerial roots a surface for attachment.
Red stems and variegated climbing growth
- Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with a visible stem, nodes, aerial roots, and trainable upward growth.
- Leaf colour: New foliage can open red-pink before maturing into green, cream, white, and softer pink tones.
- Variegation: Patterns vary naturally from leaf to leaf, with marbling, splashes, streaks, and occasional broader pale sections.
- Stem colour: Burgundy-red stems and petioles keep warm colour visible below the foliage.
- Indoor habit: Grows as a supported indoor climber, with the lengthening stem producing nodes and aerial roots as it develops.
Climbing stem, nodes and variegated growth
Each node can hold a leaf, an aerial root, and a future growth point. Keep nodes firm and exposed when tying the plant in place, and use stem sections with viable nodes for propagation.
Variegation can shift between leaves as the plant grows. Some leaves may show stronger pale areas, others may carry more green, and new growth can open with red-pink tones that soften as the blade matures. Fully green growth can be pruned back to a healthy variegated node if the plant starts losing its patterned character.
As the plant develops, wider leaf spacing or smaller new blades can point to low light, root stress, or irregular watering. Pale leaf sections are more sensitive to harsh sun, so bright indirect light is safer than direct midday exposure.
Growing Philodendron 'Red Anderson' Variegata indoors
- Light: Give bright indirect light. Soft morning or late-day sun can be tolerated after acclimation, but strong midday sun can scorch pale variegated sections.
- Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper 30–50% of the substrate has dried. Let excess water drain away so the lower root zone does not stay stagnant.
- Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coco chips or coco coir, perlite, pumice, and a small amount of moisture-retentive material. The mix should hold some moisture while keeping air around the roots.
- Drainage: Keep the plant in a pot with drainage holes. A dense or collapsed mix can hold too much water around the base of the stem and increase root stress.
- Humidity: Around 50–70% helps new leaves expand smoothly, especially while variegated blades are unfurling.
- Temperature: Keep it warm indoors, ideally around 18–28°C. Avoid cold, wet substrate and prolonged temperatures below 15°C.
- Support: Add a pole, plank, stake, or other firm support while the stem is still easy to position. Tie the stem loosely at the nodes and keep pressure away from the petioles.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant or aroid fertiliser. Reduce feeding when light levels drop and growth slows.
- Repotting: Repot when the root ball is full, the plant dries much faster than before, or the support no longer feels stable in the pot. Choose a pot only one size larger to keep moisture easier to manage.
- Pruning: Trim damaged leaves close to the stem and cut fully green or overextended growth above a healthy variegated node.
- Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to airy mineral substrates if roots are cleaned carefully, moisture stays even, and the stem base is kept above the wet zone.
- Propagation: Use stem cuttings with at least one healthy node. For patterned plants, choose a cutting with visible variegation on or near the node.
Leaf, stem and root troubleshooting
- Yellow lower leaves: Check whether the substrate is staying wet for too long. Let more of the pot dry before watering again and inspect the roots if yellowing spreads.
- Soft stem base: Often points to cold, wet conditions around the lower stem. Check the root ball, remove damaged tissue, and restart healthy node cuttings if the base is failing.
- Brown marks on pale areas: Cream-white sections can scorch faster than green tissue. Move the plant away from direct sun and check that roots are not drying unevenly.
- Long gaps between leaves: Usually linked to low light, weak root activity, or delayed support. Move the plant into brighter indirect light and secure the stem before it leans heavily.
- Small new leaves: Check for tired substrate, a cramped root ball, irregular watering, or reduced warmth.
- Loss of variegation: Fully green growth can continue producing greener leaves. Cut back to a healthy variegated node if the plant keeps pushing plain green growth.
- Leaf stuck in the cataphyll: Dry air, root stress, or inconsistent watering can interrupt expansion. Stabilise the moisture rhythm and raise ambient humidity if the problem repeats.
- Pests: Inspect leaf undersides, petioles, and new growth for thrips, mites, scale, and mealybugs, especially if leaves mark, distort, or emerge smaller than expected.
How the colours change with maturity
The strongest red and pink tones usually appear on new leaves. As each blade hardens, the warmer colour can soften while green, cream, and white variegation becomes clearer. Petioles and stems keep the redder tone for longer, so the red stem colour remains visible as older leaves mature.
Avoid bending mature stem sections sharply when tying them to support, and place ties around the stem while leaving individual petioles free. If the plant becomes top-heavy, adjust the support and pot stability before the stem twists or pulls against the root ball.
Pet and child safety
Keep Philodendron 'Red Anderson' Variegata away from pets and children. Its tissue contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, lips, tongue, throat, skin, and digestive tract if chewed, ingested, or handled by sensitive skin. Wear gloves when pruning if you react to aroid sap, and wash hands after taking cuttings.
Philodendron genus and name background
Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and includes evergreen aroids with climbing, creeping, rhizomatous, tree-like, or rosette-forming growth depending on the species. The genus name comes from Greek roots often translated as “tree-loving”, reflecting the way many Philodendron grow with or against trees in tropical habitats.
Philodendron 'Red Anderson' Variegata has burgundy stems, red-pink emerging leaves, and glossy variegated blades that mature with green, cream, and white patterning.
Its colour changes are most visible in active new growth, while the climbing stem gives the plant a clear upward structure as it matures.

Good History Book
Format: Kindle
Twenty years that change history and the Americas. Even though the civil war ended slavery at a humongous cost, it it failed to bring social justice a d civil rights to the population of the country. It was not until 1920 that women were granted voting rights. And some problems and divisions persist nowdays.

interesting and fresh perspective on the American civil war
Format: Kindle
Fresh perspective on the well known American Civil War. I appreciate Dr Taylor’s emphasis on the preservation of slavery over the states’ rights argument for why the American Civil War was fought.

A Masterpiece by the most Influential Historian of the 20th Century
Format: Paperback
The late Edmund Morgan may very well have been the most influential American historian of the 20th century. So much of what he wrote has had a definitive impact on the field of American history that he literally stands above the rest of his peers. Few historians can claim to have changed how we view the founding of America, and Morgan is one of that very select company. In American Slavery, American Freedom Morgan managed to alter the relationship of slavery to America. While he was primarily writing about colonial Virginia, he explored the issue of slavery and illustrated how the colonial Virginians used racism to develop the form of chattel slavery that rose here in the colonies during the 17th century.
Often as we teach our history courses our students will invariably answer the question about why people came to the colonies with the statement, "People wanted to be free." Yet, we know from the records that most people who came to Virginia were anything but free. The facts are there and have always been there proving this, yet few speak about it because it conflicts with American heritage. Morgan shattered that illusion in this book. He showed that colonial Virginia was the exact opposite of freedom and that many people in the 17th century were forced to go there. In addition he showed how thousands of people died in Virginia from various causes during the first half of the century.
He also investigated the role of class in colonial Virginia and how those in power sought to use the colonial government to retain that power for themselves and similar people. At times this ran contrary to what the English monarchs wanted in their colonies, but the upper class of Virginia managed to overcome obstacles and stay in power. Morgan did this by examining the records of the colony including the laws as they were enacted. He found that many laws were designed to help those with money at the expense of those without. He also found where the laws changed and became race conscious which he interpreted as the sign that the upper class was making a clear distinction between white and black in order to create the classic Us vs. Them division. This division would be the racist wedge used to keep poor whites of the lower class from associating with the blacks of any class and to reinforce the status of slavery on all blacks.
This book won the Francis Parkman award and is regarded as an American history classic. One of the great things about Morgan was that his writing was wonderful and academic at the same time. Notes are given to the reader on each page via footnotes and reveal the great depth of research that Morgan used to develop this topic. It is a must read even today for anyone studying the history of Virginia. It is also a wonderful example of what a history book should be in its style and literary quality. Morgan's appendix does make one wonder what would have happened had he developed a quantification theory to go with his topic. The data results would probably have reinforced his conclusion. The appendix is an early use of that type of approach and shows that Morgan's conclusion would have been validated by quantification.
All in all this book is a must read for any scholar of Virginia, colonial America, or slavery. Reading it will help the student develop a deeper contextual feeling for how colonial Virginia developed and a greater understanding as to why certain things in this country came about. The theme of racism has been existent in America for centuries and Morgan showed us exactly why that was. This book is a must have in my collection and many others for its high quality of research.

Fascinating Insights into the Origins of American Racism
Format: Paperback
This is a fantastic, must read book for anyone interested in the origins of American racism. Morgan recounts the cultural, economic and political evolution of the 17th and early 18th century Virginia, and with it, makes comprehensible the reasons why racial slavery emerged as an integral component to the development of the white community's pre-revolutionary ideals of independence and liberty.
At the founding of the Jamestown colony in 1607, Virginia offered vast tracts of land available to anyone willing to make the trip and who could survive their first season (or two or three) in the New World. Unlike in England where opportunities for land ownership were constrained, the fact that Virginia land was to be had for the taking made the economic equation simple - more labor = more profits. To provide this labor, England's surplus poor (of which there was an overabundance) were sent to Virginia as indentured servants for a period of four to seven years in order to work off the costs of their relocation. Once their indenture period was over, they were free.....and poor. Over time, as established interests grabbed more and more of the land, opportunities for released bondsmen decrease, essentially creating an ever-growing class of destitute (and thoroughly despised) whites who threatened the social and political stability of the colony. Racial slavery was introduced over time to stem this proliferation of poor whites, who, after having served the term of their indenture, were free to be a "blight" on the community.
These planter elites were also constantly at political war with a succession of governors appointed by the crown to manage the affairs of the colony in a manner most beneficial to the king. By enfranchising poor whites and enlisting their support for the colonial assembly, the elites were able to exercise political power over affairs of the colony in a manner most beneficial to the colonists, rich and poor alike. The result of these forces caused a major adjustment in white social strata - the role of detested poor who would only work under the threat of the lash was imposed upon enslaved blacks, and poor whites were elevated to the level of political partners with the elites. This simultaneously endowed all whites with a fierce sense of entitlement over their political rights and the prerogatives of power on the one hand, and contempt for their black slaves on the other. Liberty and equality came to be seen as inalienable birthrights while slavery was the means by which the "shiftless, lazy, indolent" poor could be transformed from burdens on society to positive (albeit brutally coerced) contributors. In other words, Virginia whites came to think of blacks with the same sense of scorn and contempt that English aristocrats held for the poor in England while, at the same time, assuming as a birthright the same sense of political entitlement enjoyed by the elite class in England. It was this, to our modern eyes, bizarre combination of egalitarian and tyrannical ideals that informed and inspired Jefferson, Washington and Madison (among others) as they participated in the formation of what would become the United States.
The implication of this history on modern political discourse is obvious. Those who today passionately cite the liberty-loving ethos of the founding fathers while simultaneously exhibiting contempt for the poor are only looking at one side of the equation. For the Virginians, slavery and liberty went hand in hand; without the one there could not have been the other. A full, rich and nuanced understanding of our heritage compels us to recognize the human inclination to despise and exploit the powerless with the same vigor and passion that we celebrate the ennobling power of freedom.
On a final note of criticism - while the book does a masterful job of making the origins of colonial racism comprehensible, it does so at the expense of "black experience" narratives. The story addresses issues of slavery only to the extent of discussing laws passed throughout the pre-revolutionary period in order to institutionalize it and the effect these laws had on the attitudes of whites towards blacks. I started the book expecting a far deeper dive in this area, and was disappointed by how little was presented concerning the evolution of slavery throughout the 17th century from a black perspective. After having read the book, I concede that this deeper dive was not strictly necessary in order for the author to prove his thesis, yet it would have been a stronger work had greater efforts in this area been made.
