Black Cardinal Philodendron
A compact, self-heading philodendron with dark burgundy-to-black foliage and minimal upkeep.

Philodendron erubescens 'Black Cardinal' is a self-heading philodendron prized for its broad, glossy leaves that mature from deep burgundy to almost black. Growing 3–4 feet tall, it thrives in bright, indirect light and well-drained, moist soil. Its upright, clump-forming habit makes it ideal for indoor use without staking. It prefers high humidity and warm conditions, but adapts to average home environments. Toxic to both humans and pets if ingested.
