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.

... or sacred poem as my focus of concentration) I enjoy reading this book at bedtime for inspiration
Format: Paperback
Since I began practicing Passage Meditation (meditating on a prayer or sacred poem as my focus of concentration) I enjoy reading this book at bedtime for inspiration. I find that when certain prayers or poems resonate with me, stanzas from them will come to me during the day. Some of them I memorize quicker than others. I appreciate this book for having so many from so many traditions compiled and translated so beautifully. At the back of the book you can look them up by category, such as prayers for courage, or fear, etc. I am surprised at how many I have memorized, and how much they affect my thoughts throughout the day.

Make your life a work of art
Format: Kindle
These passages drawn from all the world's great spiritual traditions coupled with enthusiastic sustained practice of Eknath Easwaran s 8point program can provide depth and meaning to one's life and a greater understanding of what the check it is we are all doing here on this beautiful yet long suffering planet. Don't be thrown off by the quiet delivery or the religious stuff -- it's always common sense experience based and never heavy handed. You'll get as much out of it as you put into it. The people that have used this form of meditation and are associated w the blue mountain center are some of the most extraordinary humble people you will ever meet. Good luck.

A Beautiful Resource
Format: Kindle
Eknath Easwaran was a wonderful teacher who taught passage meditation, memorizing and repeating to oneself sacred writings. These writings are drawn from many of the great religious traditions. In the last few years of my aging mother's life, she and I spent many hours reading these passages together, meditating on them, and discussing them. We had our favorites and when one of us was travelling, we would agree to meditate on one or two particular ones at the same time wherever we were. At her death, I recited many of these passages to her to bring her peace. She died more than a decade ago but these passages still evoke that beautiful time in my mind and I am grateful for this beautiful resource of passages. I find that everything in this book is a source of peace when I read and meditation on it.
