Philodendron erubescens x 'Dark Lord' – Bold Contrast and Hybrid Growth Tips

Philodendron erubescens x 'Dark Lord' is a striking hybrid cultivar with large, glossy leaves that shift in tone from deep burgundy to near-black, framed by bright red petioles and undersides. New growth emerges in coppery shades, then deepens dramatically as leaves mature – creating a layered, moody aesthetic that lives up to the name. This is a vigorous climbing hybrid with strong stems and wide-spreading foliage, perfect for users looking to grow something bold and visually intense. With proper support, it can reach impressive size indoors while maintaining manageable care needs.

  • Petioles: Reddish to bright crimson, creating contrast against the foliage

  • Indoor size: Can grow over 100 cm tall and wide with space and support

Hybrid Background of Philodendron erubescens 'Dark Lord'

Philodendron erubescens is native to Colombia, where it grows in humid lowland forests as a hemiepiphytic climber. This hybrid cultivar – 'Dark Lord' – has been selected for its intense pigmentation and faster growth. It adapts well to indoor conditions if given enough warmth, humidity, and light. Temperatures between 22 – 28 °C and bright, indirect light are ideal. While dramatic in appearance, it's surprisingly easy to manage, making it a collector's favourite.

Philodendron 'Dark Lord' is toxic if ingested – keep out of reach of pets and children.

  • Humidity: Thrives in 60 – 80% humidity; tolerates lower but grows slower
  • Temperature: Keep between 20 – 28 °C; protect from drafts and dry heat

  • Pruning: Cut back leggy vines or lower leaves to maintain shape

Typical Issues with Philodendron 'Dark Lord'

  • Leaf fading: May occur in low light – move to brighter spot with indirect light
  • Yellowing leaves: Often caused by overwatering or poor drainage
  • Dry tips or edges: Usually a humidity issue – consider grouping with other plants
  • Thrips or spider mites: Can appear on new leaves – treat with neem or insecticidal soap
  • Fungus gnats: Let soil surface dry between watering and improve airflow

Additional Notes for Growing Philodendron 'Dark Lord'

This cultivar grows fast and confidently in the right conditions, especially when given vertical space to climb. To maintain compact internodes and the richest colour, grow 'Dark Lord' in a bright, filtered location with consistent warmth and moderate humidity. Its large leaves can benefit from occasional wiping to stay glossy and healthy. Mimicking rainforest-like light and airflow keeps it vigorous and visually intense year-round.

Etymology and Botanical Naming of Philodendron erubescens 'Dark Lord'

Philodendron comes from Greek “philo” (love) and “dendron” (tree), referring to its climbing habit. The species name erubescens means “reddening” in Latin, referencing the red stems and petioles.

Great sunscreen!
Style: SPF 50 Stick, Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great sunscreen for babies/toddlers. It works well and it was a breeze to apply. It did take some effort to rub in. The product itself is very small, so it’s convenient to carry in your pocket or throw in a bag. But I’ve also misplaced it a few times.

Nice sunscreen!
Style: SPF 50 Stick, Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My favorite toddler sunscreen! We mainly use this for my toddlers face and neck, as it’s easy application and doesn’t get all over my hands. Would definitely recommend, it’s easy to have in your diaper bag!

Good for face application, small, takes effort to rub in
Style: SPF 50 Stick, Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Bought this because I thought it might make face application easier with my toddler. He definitely prefers it, mostly because he thinks it’s fun to apply and he can do it himself. But it also takes a little more effort to rub in than just the thin normal liquid copper tone baby mineral sunscreen. Gives pretty good protection though, once it’s all rubbed in! It rolls up like a deodorant stick, so you can keep it low. It’s very small, like the palm of your hand, so it’s best just to use for face. If you use it on the whole body, you’ll run out fast. It’s nice to slip into the diaper bag without it adding too much weight or worrying that it’ll open and get everywhere!

Not just for kids!
Style: SPF 50 Stick, Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
As an adult I still do not like to use chemical sunscreens on my skin, but prefer the mineral type (zinc oxide). This one is easy to apply, goes on smoothly, and with its essential oils it even acts as a conditioner. I use it on my face and neck mostly, choosing to keep my arms, etc, covered. Used it for several seasons with good results.
