Philodendron ‘Black Cardinal’ is a striking self-heading philodendron hybrid from the Araceae family, celebrated for its dramatic dark foliage and compact growth habit. Unlike climbing philodendrons, this variety grows as a rosette from a central base, making it an excellent statement plant for smaller spaces.

The foliage is the main attraction. New leaves unfurl in shades of deep burgundy to rich chocolate brown before maturing to an almost black-green with a glossy sheen. The thick, leathery leaves are broadly oval with smooth edges, creating a bold, architectural form. As the plant grows, the contrast between fresh red-burgundy leaves and older dark ones produces a constantly evolving display of colour.

Typically, Philodendron ‘Black Cardinal’ reaches 60–90 cm in height indoors, making it more manageable than many other self-heading philodendrons such as Philodendron ‘Imperial Red’. Its striking colour palette and relatively low maintenance make it a favourite for modern interiors and collectors of unusual foliage plants.


Philodendron ‘Black Cardinal’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates medium light levels. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which may scorch the dark leaves, but ensure enough light to keep the foliage glossy and vibrant.

Watering

Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist in spring and summer, but ensure excellent drainage to avoid root rot. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Best in 18–26°C. Protect from draughts and prolonged cold below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+). Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier to encourage lush growth and prevent crispy leaf edges.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix – peat-free compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works well. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and give roots room to expand.

Feeding

Feed every 4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Feeding is unnecessary in winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune by removing old or yellowing leaves at the base to keep the plant tidy. Wipe the large glossy leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and highlight their sheen.

Growth and Maturity

A slow to moderate grower, usually reaching 60–90 cm tall and wide indoors. Its rosette growth habit keeps it compact and upright, making it well suited for floor displays in modern homes.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Usually a sign of overwatering.

  • Crispy edges: Low humidity or underwatering.

  • Pests: Can occasionally attract thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.

Background and Benefits

Philodendron ‘Black Cardinal’ is a man-made hybrid, bred specifically for its bold foliage and compact size. Its deep, glossy leaves bring a touch of sophistication to any setting, and like many philodendrons, it also contributes to improved indoor air quality by filtering toxins.

nice chair for the money
This is a great chair for those not wanting to spend a lot of money and well built and sturdy. I don't do gaming so I'm looking at it as a computer chair so that's what my review will focus on. I had no trouble putting it together as it has a nice instruction book and not a one page print out like most China made products. Also the enclosed Allan wrench with a handle was someone's smart idea. It looks good (I also bought it since it was red) it's comfortable and fit's my needs but I can't comment on the durability factor as I have it for just a few days but I have no complaints for the price I paid at this time.

I Recommend!
very comfortable chair ive had it for a while now, it starts to get a faint creaking noise, but nothing unbearable. the cushions are firm yet comfortable at the same time. its not too big of a chair, fits great in my room. for the price , its pretty good quality, same could be said for its reclining, depending on how you set the tension of the reclining, the chair can be reclined with ease, or tight. this chair was easy to use and to set up. I very much recommend.

Great chair at a great price point.
This item was easy to put together, it was comfortable and visually stunning to look at. My toddlers are able to climb in and out as the chair remains stable. It’s simple to recline, and does so smoothly. The quality is great especially for the price point

I'll Take Three!
I recently purchased the DUMOS Ergonomic Computer Gaming Chair, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! This chair combines comfort, style, and affordability in a way that truly exceeded my expectations. The PU leather lumbar support provides excellent comfort and proper posture, making long gaming or work sessions much more enjoyable. What really surprised me was the fantastic price—so good that I ended up buying three! I chose two in striking red and one in sleek blue for each person's room, and they all look fantastic. The build quality feels sturdy and durable, and the ergonomic design has already made a noticeable difference in my comfort levels. If you're looking for a stylish, comfortable, and budget-friendly gaming or office chair, I highly recommend the DUMOS Ergonomic Chair. It’s a great investment in your comfort and style!
