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.

Typical Issues with Philodendron 'Dark Lord'

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.

Not the results I expected
Color: Mayday
I sooo wanted to love this product; however, the results were not as I expected. Especially at this price point. I have sensitive skin & actually broke out, so maybe I am allergic to one of the ingredients or applied the product too thickly. I’ve experienced better results with Coola’s Radical Recovery Organic After Sun Lotion which is only $32 for 5oz, so it’s definitely more cost effective & delivered better results in my opinion.

Nothing Better
Excellent product! I have the old person dry crinkly skin for a few years. I've tried creams and Castor and coconut oils. They leave me and my clothes greasy yet doesn't stay on my skin. Where those other items failed, this Tallow Cream meets and exceeds. This goes on smooth and I look forward to the wonderful scent. I like using this cream. My hands and arms look and feel healthy. Better then it ever looked really. I'm not embarrassed by my skin now. My husband tried this on his face and beard. Very nice. He has his own jar of this Tallow cream now. About the ADDED ingredients they put in the cream... it's all good things, proof is how well it works. I don't want to make any changes to it and I would. My husband tried on his face and beard. He has his own jar now. I look to reviews for product insights. I hope our reactions help.

Not real smooth
I like the scent and I like the way it makes my skin feel; I gave it a 3 because it is not whipped all the way. It has lumps all in it . Not blended well. So it goes on lumpy. I have to keep rubbing hard to blend in.

Incredible!
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I've been using castor oil on my skin for over 40 years. It's heavy, but it did the trick. Just tried this tallow with honey and will never go back. It does a wonderful job, much lighter on the skin, and it smells incredible.

Love
I only use this on my face now. I’ve noticed a huge impact on clearing up my skin and keeping it well moisturized. A small amount goes a long way. It smells amazing too!
