Philodendron Gloriosum

Pot Size - 12cm

Philodendron gloriosum – Velvet Heartleaf

 🌿💚✨

The Philodendron gloriosum is a highly coveted aroid, admired for its large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves marked with striking white veins. A slow-growing crawler rather than a climber, it spreads along the soil surface, making it an elegant statement plant for collectors and enthusiasts.

Key Features:

✔ Huge velvety green leaves with bold white veins

✔ Grows as a crawler, not a climber – unique among philodendrons

✔ Highly sought-after collector’s plant

✔ Adds a dramatic, tropical statement indoors

✔ Excellent air-purifying qualities

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sunlight

• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings

• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity – mist regularly or use a humidifier

• Soil: Best in a well-draining aroid mix with perlite, bark, and peat-free compost

• Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid feed

• Temperature: Ideal range is 18–26°C; protect from drafts and cold

• Growth: Slow grower, with leaves reaching 30–60 cm across in ideal conditions

🌿 Tip: Provide a wide, shallow pot or container so its creeping rhizome has room to spread.
