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.

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.

Excellent soap!
This soap is amazing! It is so creamy and smells wonderful, not overpowering. Great for moisturizing my face without making it greasy.

Natural and safe
The soap is very nice and lathers well. I got a box filled with different scents. My favorite is the oatmeal lavender. The other scents are not exactly what I would go for. But they are fine. I would prefer coconut or eucalyptus. I like that the soap contains all natural ingredients and no harsh perfumes.

Good price & variety
I ordered this just before Christmas to give away as gifts and gave one to my bf as well. All the scents were strong and I enjoyed them. My boyfriend and I used the one that I gave him (patchouli scent with the scrub) to test it out. It was very exfoliating. It didn’t bother us, maybe we got a good batch, or just have skin not as gentle as others. It felt similar to a sugar scrub. For the price, you get a good amount and variety of this soap. I might get another box just for myself. If you check the ingredients they are actually very simple & natural, not full of parabens or random chemicals that you can’t even pronounce.

Nice soaps!
After visiting Colorado and trying real goats milk soap we have yet to find anything we liked as much. On a whim I purchased this pack. My husband and I both like them very much. As much as we like to shop local it’s been hard to find what we wanted. We will definitely purchase again. We like the scents, the natural exfoliators and the softness it leaves our skin.
