Philodendron erubescens, commonly known as the Blushing Philodendron, is a stunning climbing tropical aroid native to the rainforests of Colombia. A member of the Araceae family, this species is admired for its glossy foliage, deep green tones, and elegant, vining growth habit. Its name erubescens means “blushing” in Latin — a nod to the reddish-pink hues that can be seen on its stems and the undersides of young leaves.

This vigorous, evergreen climber produces heart-shaped leaves that can grow impressively large when given proper support. In maturity, it can climb several metres, developing a lush, jungle-like display that’s perfect for plant enthusiasts seeking a dramatic indoor feature.

Philodendron erubescens is also the parent species of several beloved hybrids, including Philodendron ‘Pink Princess’ and Philodendron ‘Red Emerald’, making it an essential species for any aroid collector.


Philodendron erubescens – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It tolerates moderate light but may grow more slowly. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can burn its foliage, and low-light conditions, which can cause leggy growth.

Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season but never waterlogged. Reduce watering slightly in winter. Always ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 18–28°C. Avoid temperatures below 15°C and protect from draughts.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (60–80%). Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier for lush, glossy foliage.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, free-draining aroid mix – a combination of peat-free compost, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works best. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the mix and provide room for root expansion.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Pause feeding in autumn and winter when growth slows.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune to control length or encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. Train the plant up a moss pole or coir totem to support vertical climbing and encourage larger leaves.

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing climber that can reach 2–3 metres indoors when given support. As it matures, the leaves grow larger and the stems develop a rich red hue, characteristic of the species.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leggy growth: Insufficient light or lack of pruning.

  • Brown leaf tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.

Background and Benefits

Native to the tropical rainforests of Colombia, Philodendron erubescens grows as an epiphyte or hemi-epiphyte, climbing trees in the humid understory. Its combination of strength, beauty, and fast growth has made it a foundational species for hybridisation, giving rise to some of the most popular variegated Philodendrons today.

Easy to care for and naturally air-purifying, Philodendron erubescens adds vibrant tropical character and structure to any interior space.

A Working Set Of Strips
This is not expensive. It does whiten your teeth. I don't see the 3d effect. You get some strips. 2 Types. This box will last you some time. If you want white teeth then this can help make it happen. This weirdly caused me pain the last few times I used them. Outside of this no issue with them. They come on and off no problem. I kinda recommend this. Just be careful.

Great value purchase
I wanted to get my teeth professionally whitened and have never done stripes before, but the professional whitening was quoted at $700 so I thought this would be a good start instead. I have done them a few times and the teeth get sensitive the next day but thats to be expected and no more than usual, then goes back to normal. I haven't done a ton but have noticed a difference already and plan to continue doing them!

My annual go to for sparkling whites before events
I have sensitive teeth and worn down enamel. These strips whiten without pain or additional sensitivity. I use this once or twice a year before big events. It works great for that sparkling smile. (Time only allowed for 10 days of whitening this time. The additional 3 days included in this pack would’ve resulted in even more dramatic effects)
