Mini Philodendron Gloriosum

Pot Size - 5cm

Philodendron Gloriosum

The Philodendron Gloriosum is a stunning, slow-growing crawler, admired for its large, velvety green leaves with striking white veins. Unlike climbing philodendrons, this species is a terrestrial plant, meaning it grows horizontally along the soil rather than upwards.

Care Guide:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60–80%). A humidifier, misting, or pebble tray can help maintain moisture.

Temperature: Ideal range is 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 12°C (54°F).

Soil & Feeding: Use a well-draining, airy mix (orchid bark, perlite, peat moss). Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.

Growth Habit: As a crawler, it needs a wide, shallow pot to allow its rhizome to spread along the surface.

General Tips: New leaves emerge with a pinkish tint before developing their classic deep green velvet texture with prominent veins.

Ideal For:

✔ Collectors and rare plant lovers

✔ Statement plant in a tropical-themed home

✔ Patience-rewarding, slow-growing beauty

With its elegant, velvety foliage and unique growth habit, the Philodendron Gloriosum is a true showstopper for any plant enthusiast!
