Philodendron erubescens 'Red Emerald'

Philodendron erubescens 'Red Emerald' is a climbing Philodendron with glossy green leaves, wine-red stems and coloured new growth. It lengthens from visible nodes, produces aerial roots and can be trained upward on a moss pole or trellis.

Red stems and petioles stay visible as the plant climbs, while mature leaves settle into a glossy green surface. New growth may open with warmer tones before hardening off.

Wine-red stems on Philodendron 'Red Emerald'

  • Stem colour: Deep red to burgundy stems and petioles contrast with glossy green leaves.
  • Growth habit: Climbing vine that responds well to a moss pole or trellis.
  • Leaves: Smooth, leathery green leaves that can gain size with stable support.
  • Pruning: Node-bearing stems can be cut back to control height or produce cuttings.

Philodendron erubescens climbing background

Philodendron erubescens comes from wet tropical forest in Colombia and grows as a climber. 'Red Emerald' follows that red-stemmed climbing habit, with coloured petioles, glossy leaves and a stem that benefits from early training.

Train the vine while the stems are still flexible; older stems become heavier and harder to redirect. A textured pole gives the aerial roots a surface to grip as the plant gains height.

Red-stem care for Philodendron 'Red Emerald'

  • Light: Bright indirect light keeps the vine from stretching too much; avoid long exposure to direct afternoon sun.
  • Watering: Water after the top 20–30% of the substrate has dried, then empty any standing water.
  • Substrate: Use a free-draining aroid mix with chunky bark, perlite or pumice, and a small amount of composted organic matter.
  • Support: Train new stems early so internodes stay manageable and leaves face outward.
  • Humidity: Moderate to good humidity supports smooth new growth, especially while leaves are unfurling.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth; reduce fertiliser when light and growth slow down.
  • Temperature: Keep it in warm indoor conditions, preferably above 18°C at night.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and repot when the roots have filled the container or the vine dries out too quickly.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node; single leaves without a node will not produce a new vine.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten the vine or encourage new growth from lower points on the stem.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to mineral substrates such as pon, pumice, lava or LECA if roots are transitioned carefully and the stem base is kept aerated.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate to fast in warm, bright indoor conditions with steady support.

Philodendron 'Red Emerald' stem and leaf issues

  • Long gaps between leaves: Move the plant closer to bright filtered light and secure the stem to its support.
  • Soft, yellowing leaves: Check whether the mix is staying wet too long around the roots.
  • Scorched patches: Shift it away from direct sun, especially behind glass in summer.
  • Pest marks on new growth: Inspect petiole bases and unfurling leaves for spider mites, thrips, scale or mealybugs.

Philodendron 'Red Emerald' pet safety

Philodendron erubescens 'Red Emerald' is not suitable for pets that nibble plants. Sap and plant tissue can irritate the mouth and skin, so clean pruning tools and remove cut stems after trimming.

Philodendron erubescens etymology and publication

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving. Philodendron erubescens was first published by K. Koch and Augustin in Index Seminum in 1855. The species epithet erubescens means reddening or blushing, referring to the red tones associated with the species.

Nice Platters for family Thanksgiving take out
The family used these to take some Thanksgiving food home. These paper platters are sturdy and hold food without bending or leaking. I like the size because it works well for bigger meals or when I don’t feel like washing dishes. They make serving and cleanup quick and simple.

Perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas
These platters are sturdy and just the right size if you’re having a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner and don’t want to deal with a bunch of dishes. My family use them for the first time this year and we were absolutely delighted. The platters are sturdy, high-quality, significantly larger than the 10 inch paper plates and hold a large amount of food which is essential when you’re serving a large meal.

Perfect for every occasion. Absolutely love this brand.
We always buy disposable tableware from Dixie, and these platters are another great product from the brand. The size is perfect for barbecue food, burgers, ribs, sides, everything fits easily. They’re sturdy, don’t bend or leak, and hold up well even with heavier food. We host BBQs often and these make serving and cleanup super easy. Reliable quality and definitely worth buying again.

these are very nice platter/plates
these are not quite as thick as I was hoping for, but they’re really nice. I guess I’m just used to using paper plate holders underneath them but if you use two together, they’ll hold just about anything that you can put on them.
