Philodendron verrucosum ‘Incensi’ – Velvet Jewel with Bold Veining 🌿💎

Philodendron verrucosum ‘Incensi’ is a rare and highly desirable cultivar of the classic verrucosum, beloved for its velvety, heart-shaped leaves adorned with intense light green to golden veining. This particular form features brighter venation and slightly broader foliage, adding depth and drama to any rare plant collection.

Key Features:

✔ Soft, dark velvety foliage with striking lime-to-gold veining
✔ Compact, upright climber – perfect for moss poles or support boards
✔ Brighter and more defined patterning than typical verrucosum
✔ A true collector’s tropical aroid
✔ Native to Central and South America – thrives in warm, humid conditions

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – avoid direct sun to protect delicate velvet leaves

• Watering: Water when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry – consistent moisture is key

• Humidity: Requires high humidity (60–80%) – ideal for greenhouse cabinets or terrariums

• Soil: Use a chunky, breathable aroid mix (orchid bark, perlite, moss, compost)

• Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during growing season with a gentle, balanced fertiliser

• Temperature: Enjoys warmth – keep between 18–26°C, avoid cold drafts

• Support: Benefits from moss poles or vertical supports to encourage healthy leaf size and shape

🌿 Tip: High humidity and steady warmth are essential – if leaf edges crisp, check for drafts or dry air.
