Philodendron erubescens x 'Dark Lord' is a striking hybrid cultivar with large, glossy leaves that shift in tone from deep burgundy to near-black, framed by bright red petioles and undersides. 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.

This cultivar grows fast and confidently in the right conditions, especially when given vertical space to climb.

This is the ONLY paper that works well with SP-1
Style: 100ct
This is the only paper that works well with the Brother SP-1 sublimation printer. The instructions on using the paper are a little weird, but as long as the cut corner remains in the lower right of the printer tray, you'll be okay. I can't say that there's a lot of consistency in printing with this paper. Sometimes photos I've printed for items look really great, other times the photos are quite muted. This is a CMYK printer, which means you won't see the vibrant colors you see on your computer monitor. Often a red-boost in saturation in PS will help with some of that problem. The other issue is there's no real color management profile defined if you're printing directly from Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator. Even if you use matching CMYK colors in your artwork, don't expect those colors to work in sublimation. For simple artwork, with few color gradations, this seems to work pretty well. So, if you have an SP-1, this is the only paper you should use.

Amazing product!
Set name: Sublimation Printer, Set name: Sublimation Printer
All I can say is "WOW". I was skeptical about changing over from my Sawgrass to another brand of sublimation printers. But now I wish I started here from the start! Not only does this machine cost a good amount less with the same paper sizes and options as my SG500 but the ink is cheaper per cartridge and 11ml larger than the standard 30ml I am use to. Set up was super easy, as well as the connection. My prints are bold, bright, and beautiful. I am amazed! I am thankful that the details in the prints show through no matter what material I am pressing on. As a business owner, I need a good, efficient printer that doesn't cost more than the product I am selling. I can't wait to continue using my machine. I have not run into any maintenance issue and can not speak on anything of that as of now. Attached photos; however, my camera did not do it justice.
