Philodendron gloriosum | Velvety Leaf Aroid Houseplant
Philodendron gloriosum is a highly sought-after aroid prized for its large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves adorned with striking pale veins. Unlike climbing varieties, this philodendron is a slow-growing crawler, with each new leaf unfurling along a creeping rhizome. It brings a lush, tropical feel to any indoor space and is a favourite among aroid collectors.
To help this plant thrive, place it in a spot with bright, indirect light and high humidity. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top half to dry between waterings. Its large foliage will appreciate a stable environment away from draughts and direct sun.
All plants are selected for health and quality and packed with care using reused and recyclable materials.

- How often should I water my Philodendron Gloriosum?

- What is the best light condition for maintaining the vibrant variegation of the leaves?
- Place your plant in a spot with bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light might cause the variegation to fade.
- Is the Philodendron Gloriosum suitable for beginners?
- This plant is a great choice for beginners due to its easy-care nature and robustness, making it forgiving to some common care mistakes.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Philodendron Gloriosum thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be perfect for just the right amount of filtered light.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing the top half to dry out before watering again. This plant enjoys consistent moisture but dislikes waterlogged conditions, so ensure your pot has good drainage.
🌡️ Temperature

💦 Humidity

This plant loves high humidity. Consider placing it in a kitchen or bathroom where humidity levels are naturally higher, or use a humidifier to boost the moisture in the air around it.
🪴 Repotting
Philodendron Gloriosum grows along a creeping rhizome and prefers a wide, shallow pot. Repotting should be done every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining aroid mix to ensure optimal growth.
