Philodendron erubescens 'New Red' – Vibrant Climber with Red Stems and Leaf Undersides

Philodendron erubescens 'New Red' is a recent cultivar selected for its striking red coloration. Like its close relative Philodendron ‘Red Emerald’, this scandent climber produces deep red petioles and stems, but ‘New Red’ is distinguished by its red-tinted leaf undersides. Juvenile foliage emerges in a dramatic dark red before maturing into deep green, giving this plant a constantly shifting display.

Distinctive features of 'New Red'

  • Colour shift: new leaves emerge dark red, turning green with age while keeping red undersides.
  • Stems and petioles: strong red tones, flattened adaxially toward the apex, terete below.
  • Leaf blades: elongate, ovate-triangular, sagittate in shape with herbaceous texture.
  • Growth habit: scandent and vigorous, quickly climbing when given vertical support.

Background and breeding

This cultivar was developed as a modern selection of Philodendron erubescens, a species native to Colombia. While ‘Red Emerald’ popularised the group, ‘New Red’ offers an updated form with stronger pigmentation and ornamental appeal, especially in the contrasting leaf undersides.

How to care for Philodendron erubescens 'New Red'

  • Light: bright, indirect light enhances red pigmentation; avoid harsh direct sun.
  • Temperature: grows best at 20 – 28 °C; avoid long exposure below 16 °C.
  • Humidity: 60 – 80% is ideal; stable conditions keep foliage lush.
  • Watering: water when the top 2 – 3 cm of substrate dry slightly; avoid soggy soil.
  • Substrate: well-aerated aroid mix with bark, perlite, and coco coir for drainage.
  • Feeding: light, regular fertilisation during active growth supports strong climbing.
  • Support: provide a moss pole or trellis to allow upright growth and larger leaves.

Challenges and solutions

  • Pale or faded colour: often linked to low light or nutrient deficiency.
  • Yellowing leaves: usually a sign of overwatering or compacted soil.
  • Leggy growth: insufficient light; move to a brighter filtered spot.
  • Pests: check regularly for mites or thrips, particularly on tender new leaves.

Notes for collectors

  • Comparison: differs from ‘Red Emerald’ by consistently showing red undersides.
  • Visual impact: offers year-round colour contrast even after leaves mature.
  • Rarity: newer to cultivation, still less common than older red philodendron hybrids.
  • Toxicity: philodendrons contain calcium oxalate; keep out of reach of pets and children.

Etymology

Genus:Philodendron (Schott, 1830), from Greek philo- “loving” + dendron “tree,” referencing its climbing nature.Cultivar name: ‘New Red’ highlights the enhanced red tones in petioles, stems, and leaf undersides.

Propagation and growth potential

  • Propagation: stem cuttings with 1 – 2 nodes root readily under warm, humid conditions.
  • Medium: sphagnum moss or an airy aroid substrate supports healthy rooting.
  • Size indoors: typically 1 – 2 m with support; leaves enlarge significantly with age.

Why Philodendron erubescens 'New Red' is worth collecting

With its bold red stems, vibrant undersides, and rapid growth, Philodendron erubescens 'New Red' is a striking addition to any indoor collection. It combines ease of care with a constantly changing foliage display, making it a standout climbing philodendron for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Very pretty
Color: White
This is a very pretty earring tree and not too big. Earrings show up well. Only downfall is there is a slight tipping forward of the actual tree. You have to wiggle it around to make it totally straight and just tightening the nut underneath is not enough, it takes some adjusting. That is not enough to reduce the rating since it is so pretty and the tray below is great.

Very pretty and fairly sturdy
It comes unassembled but is easy to put together. I will be adding a bit of glue so it does not turn after assembled but it doesn't affect the functionality. It looks very nice and holds a lot of earrings. I'm using it for a few companion necklaces as well. The tray is nice for bangles and rings. I really like this tree!

Cute but not the sturdiest
Color: White
It hold everything well and looks really nice on my dresser. I like that the variations in the leaves allows for me to hang things of varying size up in a way that’s cute and accessible when I want to wear it. I like having all my jewelry visible at a glance. The base is a really light weight wood and so you can’t screw the top super tightly just because the wood wouldn’t hold up to that very well. That means that the tree may lean or spin a bit if you’re grabbing your earring and it’s base from one of the leaves. There’s no fear of breakage, but just not the ideal experience. So it’s not the sturdiest. It doesn’t really need to be to do what it does, but that’s the one thing I wish could be improved about this display.

I love this!!
I struggled to put it together - I had to use pliers and REALLY PRY to get the nut off in order to screw it to the base. But once I did, I am super happy with this. It's pretty and has a lot of room for all my earrings. I also put necklaces and bracelets in the base. The downside other than how hard it was to put together is how wobbly the tree part is, but I think if I tightened the screw, it would be fine.

Awesome jewelry tree
Color: Black
The design is attractive and the holes for earrings are placed perfectly. I also have several necklaces hanging on the branches. The tray underneath the tree is perfect for bracelets and watches.I feel this is a unique design. I did attach washers above and below the tray on the screw to secure the tree better- love it!!!
