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.

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.

  • Temperature: Keep between 20 – 28 °C; protect from drafts and dry heat

Typical Issues with Philodendron 'Dark Lord'

  • 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.

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.

Amazing product - instant smoothness
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've only had this product for the last several days, but, so far, it's AMAZING. I've tried hyaluronic products before, because everyone says that you are supposed to for moisture, but, honestly, I was always underwhelmed. They were thin and did nothing. So, despite this one having great reviews, I was not really expecting anything, but the price was right. But this product....although liquid and clear, it's got a slight thickness to it, and spreads on very smooth. You only need a little bit to cover your entire face. Despite the slight thickness, it's not gooey or sticky at all, and it dries incredibly fast. In fact, if you don't spread it around onto your face quickly enough, it's already drying. There is no real smell to it. And, as soon as it dries onto your face, your skin feels incredibly smooth. Maybe it wouldn't if you had a significant dry skin problem to begin with, but for regular, maturing skin, it leaves skin baby smooth. And it lasts all day, and my skin looks better. I have very sensitive skin, and most things on my face eventually make my eyes water (even gentle facial moisturizers and sunscreens), but, so far, I haven't had an issue, and, because it's been a few days already, maybe I won't. Doesn't really feel like I'm wearing anything, and isn't a problem if I want to layer it with something else. I do wash it off at night, and can tell that something is still on my face even at the end of the day because it's a little slippery when I wash it. So it has staying power. For the price, I would definitely consider trying this product for moisturizing, and instantly smoother and softer skin.

plumping hydration with no greasiness or oiliness
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Its featherweight and melds with the skin in an instant. It plumps without any residue or "slip" on the skin. I have normal skin that tends toward slight dehydration and I use adapalene and the Ordinary 2% Salicylic acid anhydrous for my sebaceous hyperplasia. Because of the sebaceous hyperplasia and the heat and extreme humidity where I live, I cannot use anything with oils or dimethicone or anything even remotely occlusive. This serum is a great way for me to get appropriate hydration without exacerbating those enlarged oil glands or making my face sticky and oily. I dont need my face sealed, a humectant like this pulls plenty of hydration into my skin and I dont lose it to the air because of the ambient humidity. Its pretty perfect for me. It also has kept my barrier intact while alternating the adapalene and salicylic acid. Its a huge bang for the buck, I mean the price point is unbeatable.

It's great for food delivery and driver jobs
Size: 7''x3''
My husband got this for food deliveries and uber/Lyft. The app let him add several texts. I believe he added 4. He was able to design it how he wanted it. It seemed fairly easy and I liked how it looked. The words would scroll over, like... Uber eats, etc... It included a big roll of strong red tape. The led screen product is charged by wall plug, phone, or the car usb phone charger. I think it was a spectacular product. I thought it was limited to 4 letters since it is small in size.
