Philodendron × mandaianum 'Ruby' – Hybrid Climber with Dark Red Foliage

Philodendron × mandaianum 'Ruby' is a 2014 hybrid between Philodendron erubescens and Philodendron hastatum. This cultivar sets itself apart with striking, dark red stems and petioles, paired with foliage that carries deep red tones seldom seen in climbing philodendrons. Beyond its colour, it is also a robust, forgiving hybrid that adapts easily to a range of indoor conditions.

What makes 'Ruby' distinctive

  • Hybrid parentage: a cross of P. erubescens × P. hastatum, stabilised in 2014.
  • Foliage colour: dark red to burgundy shades overlaying the leaf blades.
  • Stem character: petioles and climbing stems flushed in ruby red.
  • Growth habit: vigorous climbing vine, well suited to poles or trellises.

Background and breeding

The hybrid was originally produced in 2014 and has since become known among collectors as an accessible but visually distinctive philodendron. 'Ruby' builds on the climbing vigor of P. erubescens while integrating the cool-toned strength of P. hastatum, resulting in a compact but colourful foliage plant.

Care guidelines for Philodendron × mandaianum 'Ruby'

  • Light: bright, indirect light brings out the deepest red tones; avoid direct midday sun.
  • Temperature: performs best at 20 – 28 °C; keep above 16 °C for consistent growth.
  • Humidity: 60 – 80% promotes lush foliage and healthy climbing shoots.
  • Watering: water when the upper 2 – 3 cm of substrate dry slightly; do not leave roots waterlogged.
  • Substrate: chunky, airy mix with bark, coco coir, and perlite for drainage and aeration.
  • Feeding: light, regular fertilizer during active growth supports strong colour and leaf size.
  • Support: a moss pole or totem helps leaves enlarge and stems remain upright.
  • Alternative culture: adapts to mineral or semi-hydro substrates with stable moisture levels.

Challenges growers may encounter

  • Pale leaves: often the result of low feeding; increase light fertilization.
  • Leggy stems: indicates insufficient light; move closer to bright filtered exposure.
  • Yellowing foliage: usually caused by excess watering or poorly draining substrate.
  • Pest sensitivity: watch for thrips and spider mites; early inspection is key.

Collector’s perspective

  • Rarity: less common than mainstream red philodendrons, offering a fresh colour profile.
  • Display: foliage colour intensifies when grown against light-coloured or textured backgrounds.
  • Adaptability: easier to care for than many red-foliaged hybrids, suitable for both novices and collectors.
  • Safety: philodendrons are toxic if ingested; keep out of reach of pets and children.

Etymology

Genus:Philodendron (Schott, 1830), from Greek philo- “loving” + dendron “tree,” referencing its climbing habit.Hybrid name:× mandaianum marks the artificial cross; 'Ruby' is the cultivar selected for its dark red colouration.

Propagation and growth potential

  • Cuttings: stem cuttings with 1 – 2 nodes root readily in warm, humid conditions.
  • Medium: sphagnum moss or an airy aroid substrate ensures quick root development.
  • Indoor size: typically 80 – 150 cm when supported; leaves enlarge with age and pole growth.

Best pillowcase ever
Color: Stormy Grey, Size: Standard
I bought these awhile ago and they have been by far my favorite pillowcases. They are worth the money. They have been through countless washes and you can’t even tell. They are cool to the touch and while they warm up a little during use they never get uncomfortably warm. They are so soft and feel great on my face. They don’t slip off the pillow as easily as my other pillow cases. I definitely recommend!

nice feel, but sleeps warmer
Color: Deep Purple, Size: King
The stretchy material does conform with the pillow more nicely than other pillowcases, but unlike other bamboo linens, I found it a much hotter material. I'd reserve this for fall/winter sleeping.

Soft and Comfortable
Color: Deep Purple, Size: Standard
My husband absolutely loves the purple pillowcases. He likes the extra length, the good quality and the softness. It could definitely fit a larger than normal pillow and has good stretch to it.

Perfect pillow case
Color: Stormy Grey, Size: Standard
Amazing stretch fabric. Nice color. Covers my purple pillow which is a queen size but, does not fit regular queen size case. I could have used a king size case but thought I would give these a try and it works. If you are on the fence, give these cases a try. I love my pillow even more now.

Soft, moisture wicking
Color: Stormy Grey, Size: Standard
Super soft pillow cases, very nice against face. They are also moisture wicking and dont seem to hold heat. My new favorite brand of sheets/pillows/pillowcases and maybe one day a bed.
