Philodendron 'Glad Hands' (quercifolium)

Philodendron 'Glad Hands' is a narrow form of Philodendron pedatum, grown for deeply divided leaves with long, slim lobes that spread from the blade like fingers. The full leaf shape develops over time, so young plants can look slimmer and less divided before the stem gains size and support.

This plant grows from a climbing stem with clear nodes and aerial roots. As the stem extends, each node can produce another leaf and attach to support through new root points. A pole, plank, or trellis helps the plant anchor, keeps the stem upright, and gives divided leaves space to spread.

Narrow lobes and node-by-node growth

  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with nodes, aerial roots, and a stem that responds well to vertical support.
  • Leaf shape: Long, narrow lobes give older leaves a hand-like outline.
  • Development: Leaf divisions become clearer as the plant gains size, support, and stronger root growth.
  • Petiole spread: Leaves are held away from the stem, so established plants need space around the support.
  • Root behaviour: Aerial roots help the climbing stem attach and support larger foliage over time.

Pedatum background and quercifolium name

Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841. It is an accepted South American species that grows as a climber in wet tropical habitats. Philodendron quercifolium Engl., published in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik 26:546 in 1899, is now placed under Philodendron pedatum.

The quercifolium name refers to oak-like divided leaves and still appears around this plant in cultivation. This narrow form shows a slimmer, more finger-like expression of pedatum-style leaf division once the stem is rooted and climbing. Older leaves gain a more defined outline, not just a larger size.

Care for divided leaves

  • Light: Provide bright filtered light. Strong indirect light supports shorter internodes and more developed leaves, while harsh direct sun can scorch exposed lobes.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper substrate has dried slightly. Keep moisture steady during active growth, but do not leave the pot standing in water.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark or coco chips, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-holding base. The roots need both moisture and air around them.
  • Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage holes and enough depth to hold the support firmly. Avoid oversized pots that keep the lower stem wet for too long.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the support becomes unstable. Move up gradually so the root zone stays aerated.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank, or trellis early. Attach the stem loosely so aerial roots can reach the support without being crushed.
  • Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity. Around 50–70% helps the narrow lobes open without dry tips or tears.
  • Temperature: Keep at about 18–28°C. Cool, wet conditions slow root activity and can damage the lower stem.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding when light and leaf production slow down.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once rooted and supported. Leaf shape improves gradually as the stem strengthens.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping. Healthy cut sections can be used for propagation.
  • Placement: Give the plant room around its support so the lobed leaves can spread without rubbing against walls, shelves, or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Propagation: Take stem cuttings with at least one node and preferably an aerial-root nub. Keep cuttings warm and humid while roots form.

Juvenile leaves, torn lobes and stem stretch

  • Leaves staying juvenile: Check support, light, and root health. A divided leaf shape develops more reliably on a climbing, well-rooted stem.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Inspect the substrate and roots. Persistent wetness around the lower stem can cause older leaves to decline quickly.
  • Brown lobe tips: Look for dry roots, low humidity, fertiliser buildup, or hot sun through glass.
  • Long gaps between leaves: The stem may be reaching for light or growing away from its support. Move it into brighter filtered light and secure new growth.
  • Torn new leaves: New lobes can catch while unfurling. Keep watering stable and humidity moderate rather than forcing the leaf open.
  • Loose stem attachment: If the stem pulls away from the support, retie it gently at the nodes and guide new aerial roots toward the surface.
  • Pests: Check leaf undersides, petiole bases, and cataphylls for thrips, mites, scale, and mealybugs.

Pet safety and skin irritation

Philodendron 'Glad Hands' should be kept away from pets and children that may chew leaves or stems. Philodendron contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, and digestive tract if ingested. Sap may irritate sensitive skin after pruning or propagation.

Name meaning and botanical background

Philodendron means “tree-loving”, a reference to the climbing habit common in the genus. The epithet pedatum means foot-like, matching the divided leaf outline of Philodendron pedatum. Quercifolium combines Latin roots for oak and leaf, referring to an oak-like leaf shape. The name 'Glad Hands' suits the hand-like spread of the leaf lobes.

Choose Philodendron 'Glad Hands' for a climbing Philodendron with slim, fingered leaves and a distinctive narrow-lobed outline.

A GOD-centric UPDATE that guides you to the Throne Room.
I was given the ORIGINAL version of this book as a gift—long before I knew about the prophetic as a realm ALL Believers can enter. I had several false starts reading the book. With each round of attempting to read it I stopped short for the same reason—I felt there was more emphasis on experiences and the author’s revelations than on the Word of God. Fast forward to several years later, I decided to read this book again BUT by this time I had my own personal revelations and substantial teaching about the prophetic. I was/am still a WORD girl so as I prepared to read it I discovered THIS EXPANDED EDITION and boy was it a wayyyyyyy different read. EVERY IOTA of teaching is anchored in the word of God and turns it all back to the Godhead. There are endless stories of his or other giants’ personal experiences but EVERY account is in the framework of the Word of God. The Godhead is exalted in this book. EVERYTHING else is secondary. I absolutely loved this new writing voice—such that I have since bought another book by the author and I plan to read more of his works. At the end of the day, heavenly encounters are purposed by God to draw us and others into deeper relationship with Him. The encounters and revelations are not the endpoint, HE is—His Word, His will, and His way. This is the thesis statement of this book and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing in the Spirit is biblically valid - book helped me understand & lose my fear/confusion about the supernatural
Wow! I read this book over the course of just 2 days. I bought it a while back but hadn't read it until now. I had some fear with seeing in the spirit realm. After reading this book, I have a MUCH greater understanding. I am also now interested in contemplative prayer - which James Goll briefly touches on in this book. I am willing to finally leave prejudices behind about the wonderful and supernatural means that God DOES in fact use to communicate with us. I have bought into the lies that this is somehow of the occult or non-biblical. Further inspection of the scriptures for myself (away from any teachers - no matter how great I thought they were) showed me this is not the case. God DOES speak to us, He DOES manifest Himself to us when we obey and love Him, and there IS a tangible, actual presence of God. What a shame this is being demonized in many Christian circles because there is NOTHING more wonderful and joyous than God's actual presence. Seeing in the Spirit is also another way God interacts with us. I have abandoned my fears and have come to realize how truly amazing this really is. The Bible is filled with visions, dreams, divine interactions, etc. Any person reading the Bible - setting aside other opinions influencing him/her - will plainly see that the gifts will not cease until the return of Jesus Christ. Also, that we are to hear God's voice and commune with Him. John 5:39 - hit me hard during a terrible time of fear and confusion because of all the various doctrines on this topic. "Search the scriptures: for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are that which testify of Me. And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life." We don't know Jesus through the Scripture, we know about Him from the Scripture. We do have to go to Him and seek Him in addition to studying the scriptures. He is a real Person, and this is a real relationship. I tabbed the section James Goll wrote on testing the source and testing the spirits as this is something that I have not always done and now have excellent information about from this book. I also have reassurance that this does not offend God and/or Holy angels - as this is what we are told to do. I highly recommend this book - and I think it would be tremendously awesome for more Christians to leave the fear of deception, fear of the devil, and fear of the religious folks ridicule behind. We are able to enjoy a *REAL* relationship with Christ even during our time on earth.
