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.

Incredible battery life, effective cleaning, a whole years worth of brush heads!
This is the mac-daddy of electric toothbrushes! I would even use it as an adult, it's that good! The designers of the Vekkia Sonic Rechargeable Kids Electric Toothbrush put a lot of thought into this toothbrush and have knocked it out of the park. The things I like most are: * The battery life. The battery life on this toothbrush is unheard of! It's been a over a month and we have charged it once. This is the perfect feature to take this toothbrush while traveling! * The timer. The timer makes it so that my kids know to keep going until the timer goes off, and I don't have to keep saying, "Not yet, get every tooth, you haven't brushed long enough." * The adjustable cleaning modes. One of my kids is sensitive to the vibration on their teeth, so they won't use electric toothbrushes; however, with multiple settings, it is gentle enough to not bother them, and adjustable to a stronger vibration for my kids who don't mind it. And I have peace of mind that no matter which one they choose, their teeth are being cleaned properly. * The size of the heads. The heads are small enough that the toothbrush fits comfortably between their gums/teeth and their cheek. Some of them are so big that it is uncomfortable and hard to use, especially on the back teeth. This toothbrush is designed for an effective and comfortable brushing experience. * This toothbrush is durable. Unfortunately our toothbrush has been dropped onto our tile, and knocked off the counter once. Fortunately, this toothbrush was designed for kids, understanding accidents can happen, and it endured all of that without any cracks, dings, or signs of a fall. * The price. Dentists recommend replacing your toothbrush every three months. While $15.99 (at the time of this review) may initially seem high, you are getting four brush heads. This is an entire year's worth for less than $16. What I would change: * I would love for VEKKIA to make electric toothbrushes for adults with these same features so my spouse doens't wonder why I am using a dinosaur toothbrush haha!

Good value and good quality toothbrush.
This is a rechargeable electric sonic toothbrush. This toothbrush is aimed at kids with a rocket dinosaur design. This toothbrush has a two minute timer and has a reminder every 30 seconds for each quadrant of your mouth. This has three different modes for power and is waterproof with a long battery life. This also comes with four brush heads and this comes very presentable and attractive to the eye. This would make a great gift and this makes brushing a lot of fun for the younger crowd. This toothbrush feels like it's a good quality and seems to be made very well. This has a good durability and feels like it would last a long time. This is super easy to use, as you simply charge it and turn it on, pick your mode, and brush, Giving this a good functionality. The timer is a great reminder and this is charged on the bottom that is covered with rubber plug. This can not be charged in the base and the base is not a charger. The value on this is very good this is not expensive and this is made very well for the price this would also make a great gift giving this a very good value in my opinion and at the time of this review. Overall, this Sonic electric toothbrush for kids is fantastic This is great for the kids to get into brushing and could work for them up into their early pre-teen years. I would have no issues recommending this.
