The king of heart-shaped leaves; the Philodendron Gloriosum is a stunning plant, popular for its shape, velvety texture and contrasting veins. Native to Columbia, where it crawls along the forest floor, this plant enjoys warm temperatures and humid conditions. Due to its crawling habit, its fairly tolerant of low light, making it a versatile, statement plant for any houseplant collection. 

The Philodendron Gloriosum is ideal for plant lovers who are drawn to large, decorative foliage. Its care requirements and striking appearance make it a great choice for enthusiasts and beginners alike. To get the most out of this plant, we recommend growing in a longer planter or trough planter.

How to care for Philodendron

  • Lighting: Enjoys bright, filtered light. By a North facing window is best, or near an East. Direct sun will scorch the leaves.
  • Watering: Doesn't like waterlogged soil, but enjoys consistent moisture. Water thoroughly once top quarter of pot has dried out.
  • Humidity: 60% or above is best, but can tolerate slightly lower. Avoid radiators and draughts.
  • Temperature: Will thrive best in temperatures ranging from 18-27°C. Avoid placing in temperatures lower than 15ºC for long periods of time.
  • Soil Preference: An chunky mix to suit the thick roots and bottom-heavy growth habit. We recommend the Monstera & Philodendron mix.
  • Good to Know: Because it is a crawler, this plant grows best in longer pots, such as trough planters.
