Philodendron 'Black Cardinal'

Philodendron 'Black Cardinal' is a bold, self-heading hybrid prized for its deep burgundy to near-black foliage and strong, upright growth. New leaves emerge with a coppery-red tone before darkening to rich chocolate-maroon, creating a striking contrast between old and new growth. Its wide, paddle-shaped leaves have a soft satin sheen and grow in a neat, layered rosette that gives the plant a sculptural, architectural presence.

Unlike trailing philodendrons, ‘Black Cardinal’ stays compact and doesn’t climb—making it perfect for desktops, side tables or floor pots in bright indoor spaces. It's low-maintenance, visually dramatic, and ideal for adding dark contrast to lush plant collections.

Toxic if ingested.

Comprehensive Care Instructions for Philodendron 'Black Cardinal'

Lighting Requirements

Indoors: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its deep colour. Tolerates medium light but may grow slower and produce smaller leaves. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch or fade the foliage.
Outdoors (mild climates): Grow in filtered light or full shade. Protect from strong sun and cold.

Watering Regimen

Active Growth (Spring to Autumn):
Water when the top 2–4cm of soil is dry. Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy. Ensure pot has good drainage.
Cooler Months:
Allow soil to dry a little more between waterings. Reduce frequency to match slower growth.

Temperature & Humidity

Thrives in warm temperatures between 18°C–28°C. Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 12°C.
Prefers moderate to high humidity but tolerates average indoor conditions well. Mist occasionally in dry spaces.

Fertilizing

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser. Hold off feeding in winter unless under grow lights.

Pruning & Maintenance

Remove old or damaged leaves at the base to keep the plant tidy. Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and enhance their dark sheen.

Repotting

Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound. Use a chunky, free-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite and compost.

Pests & Troubleshooting

Generally pest-resistant but may attract mealybugs or fungus gnats in very damp conditions.
Pale or faded leaves may indicate too much light. Yellowing may suggest overwatering.

Important Note: Dark, Moody & Low-Fuss

Philodendron 'Black Cardinal' is a standout choice for lovers of dark foliage. Its non-climbing habit and bold, sculptural form make it ideal for modern interiors and statement containers.

It truly is the most Essential Guide
Format: Paperback
I've worked as a professional comic book letterer for more than a decade. I've had to learn a lot through trial and error since there was so little written about this technical field of work. Finally, there is now a book for amateur letterers to have all they need to understand the craft and for professional letterers to both reference and pick up new ideas from. This book isn't just a tutorial on "how to letter comics." This also showcases creative ways to letter, interesting techniques that even experienced letterers might not know about, and - what I found to be the most helpful - the realities of a letterer's freelance life and ways the write had worked to develop a good workflow and healthy work schedule to avoid burnout or physical strain. This is an engaging book, so even if you know how to letter well or you know nothing about lettering and want to understand the kind of work that letterers do, I highly recommend this as a great read. Through my experience, I developed very different methods than what this guide described, but both are valid and I even picked up new ideas and tried out new ways of doing things while reading this book. If you want to learn how to letter, buy this book. If you want to be a better letterer, buy this book. If you don't want to letter but you want to know more about how comics are made or how one freelances in this industry, this guide is great for that too. The only thing missing is a thorough explanation on how to develop one's own comic book fonts, but like the author said, that would take up an entire book in itself. Here's hoping one day there's a companion guide to comic book font creation, because I would love to learn more about that too.

Truly Essential! The perfect guide to Comic Book Lettering!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I'm completely new to Comic Book Lettering with some experience in Graphic Design but I picked this up just for my curiosity. After taking a quick flip with the book, It does not disappoint and lives up exactly to the title. It TRULY is the essential guide to Comic Book Lettering. This book comes from Nate Piekos who is the founder of BLAMBOT (one of the most professional comic book lettering companies to date). He drops every bit of wisdom and experience he's ever received / gotten through into this book and the result speaks for itself. All the tools, techniques, tips, discussions, etc are found here. He goes through what he uses / recommends for programs and tools, breaks down the structures of what goes into comic book lettering (balloons / dialogue / captions / fonts / etc), teaches you how to create a useful / time-saving templates, gives you pointers even at the most subtle aspects of lettering, covering / creating dialogue balloons, covering / creating sound effects, covering / creating logos, etc. There's so much information and visual imagery here within these pages that I can talk about this book day and night.. and again: I'm completely new to this. The book is honestly that inspiring. I recommend this, without a doubt. A master class in comic lettering! Truly thankful for Nate Piekos creating this book as well as those that helped bring it to publication.

Truly "essential" for any letterer, whether casual or serious about the profession!
Format: Paperback
When I first got this book, I was a bit disappointed. I thought it was going to be detailing lettering by hand. It didn't. But guess what? It's better for it. As the author, Nate Peikos, demonstrates, the bulk of lettering now is done digitally and with good reason. So not only is this book incredibly inspiring for any graphic artist / letterer -- with its many examples of great lettering; its demonstration of useful techniques -- the author is so open and honest in his writing. While reading it, you don't feel that he's putting the job of lettering out of the reader's reach. In fact, he's putting it right within reach through a humility that is coupled with his exceptional skills. If you're an up-and-coming letterer, someone on the outskirts of lettering wanting to delve into it more professional (like myself), or even if you've had some work doing lettering, there is something for each type in this book. It's a book that I'll cherish and reference frequently, especially with all the examples that just ooze inspiration. My only regret is that I didn't know about some of these techniques a few years ago! But, nevertheless, I started implementing some of the techniques the first day after reading just a few pages. It reinvigorated my own desire to become a better and even semi-professional letterer, a very under-appreciated profession.

A great overall book, with one critical omission.
Format: Paperback
This is a great book to illuminate the mysterious art of comicbook lettering. It goes deep into the practical details and theory required to make a graphic novel, manga, or superhero comic with the look and feel of a professional product. But comicbook lettering is actually more than a purely aesthetic art form, it plays a critical role in conveying meaning, emotional mood, and tone of voice. Along with the artwork and panel composition, the layout of the lettering and dialogue balloons is also critical to help guide the reader's eyes naturally from panel to panel. If you're curious about how graphic design for visual narrative works, this is an interesting and inspiring book. My only criticism is the conspicuous omission of perhaps the one topic this author is uniquely qualified to illuminate, and that is: the actual creation of the fonts themselves. I've admired Nate's Blambot comic fonts for a long time (and have purchased licenses for some of them), so I was looking forward to at least getting an overview of how he approaches this seemingly critical aspect of comicbook lettering. But no. He doesn't go into it even slightly, which is a shame, because this would have been the perfect book on the topic if he had. I understand that font design is a huge topic unto itself, but was disappointed that in a book of this size, there weren't even a few pages dedicated to discussing the process of making fonts for comicbooks. Literally anyone reading this book would want to know that information. Having said that, it's a great book, and I still enjoyed it very much. You'll probably be surprised by how much more there is to learn about this topic than you may have thought. Reading it will deepen your appreciation for an art form that, like a great movie score, is basically invisible when done very well, yet amplifies the emotional impact of each contributing discipline, and profoundly contributes to the enjoyment of the final experience.
