New growth emerges in coppery shades, then deepens dramatically as leaves mature – creating a layered, moody aesthetic that lives up to the name. 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.

  • Petioles: Reddish to bright crimson, creating contrast against the foliage

  • Indoor size: Can grow over 100 cm tall and wide with space and support

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.

Absorbs your lotion
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
Protects your hand and the application is smooth... BUT it absorbs SO MUCH PRODUCT!!! Like waists so much of your tanning lotion. I decided to stop using it and just wash my hands right after applying bc it isn’t worth how much lotion gets absorbed into the mitt & goes to waist.

Must have tanning mitt for easy and even self tanning!
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt, Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
If you use self tanner you NEED this mitt! The foam tanner came on so much easier and it's so much nicer having this mitt to apply product rather than trying to use gloves or just bare hands! It applied so much more evenly and was very easy to use. It keeps your hands from getting stained and it's very easy to clean and use over and over. This is my first mitt for tanning and as far as I'm concerned it will be my last... its perfect...feels like velvet and applies a perfectly even coat of the lotion. It is also double sided and VERY soft. And two smaller ones that are great for smaller areas. So great for the price too. My tan looks so even and I have already gotten so many compliments. I am LOVING my glow. Highly recommend!

A gentle miracle for my skin!
I've been using this product for about a month now, and I'm honestly so impressed. I have acne-prone and sensitive skin, and this Ordinary product for oily skin has made a significant difference. From the very first week, I noticed my skin was softer. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel greasy at all. I use the Squalane cleaner both in the morning and evening. In the evening, I use natural moisturizer and B5 after washing my face. What I love most is that it’s affordable but delivers real results. No fragrance, no irritation—just effective skincare. I’ve already recommended it to my friends and will definitely repurchase.
