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'

  • 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

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, clean and natural ingredients!
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz., Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
Literally the best sunscreen I have tried so far! Main ingredient is grass fed beef tallow which is what I’ve been looking for. I’m an outdoor/wedding photographer so I’m more susceptible to skin cancer due to genetics. Yesterday I used it all day for an outdoor wedding, reapplying every 2 hrs and this saved me so much!!! No white cast residue so I was applying quickly in between big moments and the formula is lightweight, no odor, goes on quick and smoothly and it’s not greasy! I have so much appreciation for the clean, natural ingredients

I really like this Grass-Fed Tallow Mineral Sunscreen. It feels natural on the skin and doesn’t cause irritation. The texture is smooth, easy to apply, and gives good sun protection. I also like that it uses mineral ingredients and doesn’t have a strong chemical smell. It leaves a slight white cast at first, but it blends in after a few minutes. Great option for people with sensitive skin

No burn after a week on Lake Havasu
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
A week on Lake Havasu in the Arizona sun without any burning. The sunscreen goes on smoothly and works in quickly. No difficulty getting the white tint to go away. No odd smell. No sticky feeling. For reference I am of Scandinavian decent with fair skin and very blonde hair.

easy to blend AND no white cast? UNREAL but true
Set name: Adult Tube - 3.4oz.
i was initially drawn to this sunscreen because i saw it had a great EWG score (1). i hesitated at first because of the price but very happy i went through with my purchase. i have medium to tan combination skin and this sunscreen was very easy to blend onto my face, given that it has a moisturizer like texture. and the best part? NO WHITE CAST. only removing a star because it is still pricey especially for the size which is why I've been limiting its use to my face lol

Great product! With sensitive skin this is wonderful without the white cast, grainy feel, and chemicals! Used on my kids and myself during softball days with no burns or rashes!! We always have a hard time finding good sunscreen that I don’t stress about! This is one I will buy again! Highly recommend!
