Philodendron ‘Majesty’, a hybrid from tropical South American lineage, is a climbing philodendron known for its large, elongated leaves that emerge in deep burgundy to near-black tones before settling into a dark green with subtle red undertones. What makes this plant special is its dramatic, moody coloration and velvety sheen that gives it a bold, high-contrast, collector look as it matures and climbs.

Light drives both color depth and leaf size. Place it in an east or south-facing window where it gets bright, consistent light without direct sun sitting on the leaves. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 10–12 inches from the top of the plant. In lower light, new leaves come in more green and smaller, and the plant will stretch between nodes. Strong light keeps the foliage darker, larger, and more compact.

Watering should stay balanced with good airflow at the roots. Allow the soil to partially dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly and let it drain, using a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark. If new leaves emerge smaller with less of that deep tone, it is reacting to lower light, not lack of water. If the plant drops an older leaf when pushing new growth, that can be normal resource allocation. A sudden soft collapse at the base while the soil is wet points to root stress, while slow yellowing from the bottom usually signals the soil is staying too wet for too long.
