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.

Cracked Tooth
Update: While I originally loved this product and so did my dogs, I feel the need to update this review. The Dura Chew Nylabones are incredibly hard, which is what makes them last so long. However, one of our dogs did crack a tooth recently from chewing on a Dura Chew. Since then, we have been very hesitant to allow any of our dogs to chew on these as other reviews also state that dogs have cracked teeth. We have since thrown out all of the Dura Chews that we had. We are still using the regular Nylabone products (when they aren't made in China), but once those are gone we will not buy any additional products from Nylabone. We have been buying Whimzees for our dogs for the last two years or so and they are a healthy edible alternative. They do not last as long because they are edible, but I have the peace of mind in knowing that my dogs are safe with them. Another healthy alternative would be antlers, which we also give to our dogs and they usually last a long time. Original review: Another great Nylabone product. I love that dogs can chew on Nylabone products and they can't pull off pieces like products from other brands (Hartz for example). The Dura Chews are especially great for our hard chewers and they last forever! I love all of the dimples on their chews too, they're great for keeping our dogs' teeth clean. The vet is always impressed when they check their teeth.

This is not designed for dogs who are chewers. I gave this to my adult dog thinking she could play with it and be entertained for a little while. She had it ripped up and spread around the room in about 10 seconds. I would maybe recommend this for puppies to have something softer and gentle on their little teeth and gums. It also makes a bot of a mess once it starts coming apart so I suggest using outside or where it can be contained. Little high of a price point for the value I got out of it

My dog was immediately interested in these. He loves carrying them around and chewing on them. I also like that they’re made from natural materials.

Start with 6 pack assortment to let the dogs choose their favorite. They are fragile and messy.

They are fragile and messy. I only give them to the husky for about 5 minutes as a calming reward. His favorite is seaweed and Timothy hay. Why because we feed Timothy hay on the farm. His second choice was corn leaf. He looked at me like I was crazy when he mouthed the corn silk ball. In the future I will just get the seaweed hay balls. The sensory taste and smell calms him down. The old lab is easier on these balls. More licking and sucking than hard chewing.
