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.

Adorable
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Brown/White
This particular one I had to upsize. I didn’t return because I have another little girl that was going to use them. Typically all mini Melissa’s are true to size. Loved them. Super cute.

Cutest sandals for your little one (as long as they aren't learning to walk)
Size: 6 Toddler, Color: Brown/White
The sandals are adorable and great quality. However, when I showed the pediatrician before putting them on our 14 month old who is walking everywhere. She said "do not use" for children who are just learning to walk...these are great for those that aren't a "toddler" yet.

Size up for sure!
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Matt Black
Bought these as a gift for my niece who wears a size 8 in toddlers. There is a note to size up from the seller but you may need to size up 3x. Ordered a 9 in the cozy jelly sandals, one size up as suggested & they were way too small. So I tried them on my other niece who is wearing a size 6 in toddlers & the 9 fit her perfect. She loved them & walked comfortably, she didn’t stomp as she usually does if the shoes are too heave or firm. & they have a nice sweet smell. I like that the Velcro straps adjust to fit her snug enough to hold her skinny foot in place. Definitely like the look, feel & quality. The sizing is really difficult to get right, I imaging depending on the style this may also differ.

So cute but runs very SMALL!
Size: 5 Toddler, Color: Brown/White, Size: 5 Toddler, Color: Brown/White
These are SO cute and smell so yummy however they run extremely SMALL! My daughter is a size 3.5-4c and j had read other reviews that they run small so I ordered her a size 5 thinking they’d fit perfect and they were still to small! Sending back and going to order a 6 instead in hopes that will fit because they are so cute and feel very comfy.
