Philodendron Gloriosum, is a terrestrial (crawling) plant species from the Araceae family, native to Colombia and other parts of Central and South America. Unlike many philodendrons that climb, this species grows horizontally along the ground through a thick rhizome.
It is best known for its stunning, heart-shaped velvety leaves with striking white or pinkish veins. Under ideal conditions, the foliage can grow quite large, making it a prized plant among collectors and foliage lovers.
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Overwatering may lead to root rot.
-
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60–80%). Use a humidifier or mist the plant regularly if the air is dry.
-
Temperature: Best grown in temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
