New leaves emerge a glossy blood red and deepen through burgundy to an almost-black green as they harden off. A compact, self-heading Philodendron that stays tidy rather than climbing, which makes it one of the easier dark-leaved varieties to keep indoors.
Bright indirect light brings out the darkest colour; too little and the leaves stay green. Water when the top of the mix dries, and give it warmth and humidity while it establishes.
Ships as a single tissue-culture plantlet.
Supplied as sterile tissue culture on a pre-order basis and shipped across Canada.
Leaf colour and depth vary naturally with light, maturity and growing conditions.

Amazing experience. My little plants arrived very well packaged and healthy. The explanations were a touch extra. They are very thoughtful and thorough!

Tout est arrivé en super conditions!
Arrived well packaged and alive. I’m happy with my purchase.
came slightly bent but beautiful specimen!
Showed up in great condition. Only thing is it didn’t have many baby roots compared to the bulbasaur I received. I’m hoping for the best!
Excited to see how this plant grows. Roots looked good. Leaves all healthy.
First time tissue culture purchaser. Excited to see how they do.
Service de livraison exceptionnelle. J’ai eu peur car je l’ai récupéré 6jours après la livraison puisque je l’est reçu durant un voyage. Elle est en parfaite santé et belle. 🤩
Arrived healthy, not much more i could ask for
Shipped fast! Came in packaged so well! Will be ordering again.
Bought it pre-order so had to wait a while, but the wait was worth it! Shipping was very fast once the package left the merchant. Product is in perfect condition. Will order again!
Great variegation
Pretty variegation
Great product just long shipment time
Very surprised. Perfect condition. Further along in growth than expected!
Arrived quick and well packaged. This plant had one completely rotted leaf upon arrival, likely its newest one. The older leaves don’t look super healthy but the roots look fantastic. It seems to be trying to push another new leaf so I am hopeful
Arrived quickly and well packaged. Plant is healthy, has a good developing root system with leaves that are sizing up nicely
Arrived quickly and well packaged. Some minor damage on one leaf. Overall, I’m pleased
