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.

☀️☀️▫️ (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.
💧💧▫️ (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.
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Philodendron Gloriosum prefers a warm environment with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 24°C. Keep it away from draughty areas and sudden temperature changes to maintain a stable growing condition.
💦💦💦 (High)
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.
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.
This plant is not pet-friendly. It can be toxic if ingested by pets, so it’s best to place it out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
Place your Philodendron Gloriosum in a living room near a window with indirect sunlight, or in any well-lit room that does not experience temperature extremes. Its striking foliage makes it a perfect focal point for interior decorations.

Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
