Philodendron Dark Lord is an indoor houseplant that stands apart from the rest. Its unique elongated heart shaped foliage is dark green with a stunning hue of purple and burgundy. With proper care, this exotic houseplant can thrive and add a beautiful pop of color to your living spaces.
Philodendron Dark Lord prefers a coco pole or other support structure. As this plant climbs higher the leaves will grow larger and become a true sight to behold!
This is the true 'Dark Lord', not the plant originating in Indonesia with the same name!
Philodendron Dark Lord care:
This plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water. Provide your plant with bright indirect light.
Additional info:
Philodendron is one of the most popular genuses of Aroid that are currently in cultivation, with over 450 named cultivars.
Philodendron vary greatly in their natural habits, but you will find a large number of them located in Latin America. Their leaves range from small to medium to large to gigantic! You'll find Philodendron with smooth, glossy foliage and some with velvety foliage!
If you allow Philodendron to climb, their foliage will usually get much larger the higher up they get. While this isn't true for all Philodendron species -- it is for most. We recommend a coco pole to really get your Philodendron growing!
For the most part, Philodendron are easy to care for.
The name Philodendron comes from the greek words "philo" (love or affection) and "dendron" (tree).
Customer Reviews
This was a splurge plant for me and I’m so glad I did. The picture below is a straight out of the box photo. Absolutely incredible.
Totally worth the splurge—what a stunner right out of the box! 😍 You and that plant are clearly meant to be!
Ordered for a gift, am sure the recipient is going to love it as much as I do. Now I need to make another order, I need this.
Love that—plant gifting and self-gifting is the way to go! 😄 We’re so glad you loved it and can’t wait to send more your way!
The leaves are huge! Way bigger than I expected. I am completely in love with this plant!
I'm a collector of rare and unique tropicals. I ordered several plants..2 of which are in this picture and in their new homes. I have only had them for a couple of weeks now and I apologize but I didn't take pictures of them when I first received my order. However, they were very well packaged for shipping and arrived very vibrant and healthy. I went to take a picture of Dark Lord (left)and Red Moon(right )decided she wanted to be in the picture too..lol My new beautiful babies ..well worth every penny...
Usually when the description says, plant is in 4 or 6 inch pot, one thinks it's average or smaller than the description. However, it's funny that I wanted to get a mature plant vs the special care nursery plants that I have previously purchased, and this Dark Lord is a mini tree... the box was so big I opened it as soon as I came home after 8pm at night. I'm star struck. That's what I love about Canopy Plants. The pot may state one size but the actual plant is larger, fuller and better than expected. I wasn't prepared so the Dark Lord spent a night or 2 in my tub
