Philodendron gigas

Philodendron gigas is a Panamanian climbing Philodendron whose juvenile and mature leaves can look noticeably different. Young plants usually show smaller, deep green, velutinous leaves. Mature plants can produce much larger ovate to narrowly ovate blades on long petioles, with fresh leaves sometimes opening bronze or coppery before hardening darker.

This species grows as a wet-forest liana in Panama. Its appressed-climbing stems have short, thick internodes, semi-persistent cataphylls and velvety, moderately leathery leaf blades. Young plants stay smaller at first, then open up as the stem attaches and adult foliage develops.

Philodendron gigas juvenile and mature leaf traits

  • Juvenile leaves: Young plants usually carry smaller, dark green, velvety leaves before the adult shape develops.
  • Mature blades: Adult plants can develop larger ovate to narrowly ovate leaves with a matte upper surface.
  • Petioles: Long, near-round petioles carry the larger adult leaves away from the climbing stem.
  • Growth habit: An appressed-climbing stem benefits from a pole, plank or rough vertical surface.

How Philodendron gigas develops with age

Philodendron gigas can look restrained when young because the juvenile leaves have not yet reached their adult size or shape. As the plant matures, the blades lengthen, the velvety surface becomes more pronounced and the petioles create a more open climbing outline.

Young stems can be less firmly attached until aerial roots find a suitable surface. A moss pole, plank or rough support gives those roots a place to anchor and helps the plant carry its larger foliage more steadily.

Care for Philodendron gigas as a velvet liana

  • Support: Add a pole or board early so aerial roots can attach as the stem lengthens.
  • Light: Place in bright indirect light; too much direct sun can mark the velvety leaf surface.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new velvet leaves expand with fewer stuck edges.
  • Watering: Water after the upper 25–30% of the mix has dried, keeping the root zone evenly moist but airy.
  • Substrate: Use bark, coco chips, perlite and a moisture-holding base for drainage with some even moisture.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 19–28 °C, and protect from cold windows in winter.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser during active growth to support larger leaves and steady stem extension.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and repot when roots have filled the container or the climbing support becomes unstable.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one viable node; single leaves without a node will not produce a new plant.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten the vine or redirect growth, and remove damaged leaves without rubbing the velvety surface.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to mineral substrates such as pon, pumice, lava or LECA if transitioned carefully and kept evenly moist but well aerated.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate indoors, with larger leaves developing once the stem is warm, rooted and firmly supported.

Philodendron gigas velvet leaf issues

  • Stuck new leaves: Raise humidity and check that the plant is not drying out heavily between waterings.
  • Undersized adult leaves: Check whether the stem has firm support, enough light and active roots.
  • Leaf edge crisping: Look for dry air, irregular watering or heat stress near radiators.
  • Dull or marked leaf surface: Avoid rough wiping, check for pest activity and let dust lift gently with airflow or a soft brush.
  • Pests: Check petioles, leaf undersides and new growth for spider mites, thrips, mealybugs or scale.

Pet safety for Philodendron gigas

Philodendron gigas is toxic if ingested because the tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it out of reach of pets, especially while new leaves and aerial roots are easy to bite.

Philodendron gigas species background and etymology

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, reflecting the tree-climbing habit common in the genus. Philodendron gigas was described by Thomas B. Croat and published in Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1997. The epithet gigas means giant. Mature plants can develop large leaves once the stem climbs and settles into adult growth.

Order Philodendron gigas for a Panamanian velvet climber that develops from compact juvenile leaves into large matte adult foliage.

This hub worked when others did not
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
I have an Asus Zenbook that's at least 7 years old (ancient by technology standards) and it has a very problematic USB hub. I love my laptop. It functions well except for the hub. I usually get OEM peripherals for my electronics. (I use PC and Android. I'm not a Mac/Apple user.) In the case of the USB hub for my Zenbook the Asus replacement hub is garbage with a 1 star review on Asus website with warnings not to buy because of how fast it stops working. The Asus hub I purchased 3 months ago stopped working after using it 3 or 4 times. That's unacceptable in my opinion. I have tried other brands including Belkin, Anker and 2 others that I do not remember. None of them would deliver power to my laptop despite claiming they would. So I decided to try this hub. I need an external hub for the multiple USB ports because the Asus has no ports on the Zenbook itself, and power delivery (in a perfect world when everything works properly) should also be able to go thru the hub to charge the laptop. On my laptop, there's only one USB-C port to connect either direct power supply or a hub. You can't have both connected at the same time unless the hub allows power transfer to laptop, which the other brand hubs that I tried wouldn't support that power transfer, much to my frustration. This hub is the first hub that I've tried that will actually power my laptop. (I also switched my power supply cable to a Thunderbolt, so the combination of the new cable with this hub works.) I use a wireless mouse with a dongle that needs to be plugged in. I have a digital voice recorder that plugs in directly via USB-A to transfer files to the laptop. I use SD cards in my camera and MP3 player that I need a hub to transfer that media onto the laptop. This hub will allow all of that. Every port works that I have tried on this Acer hub and this hub does the thing that the other hubs failed to do on my laptop. The power transfer was the big issue for me and this Acer hub solved the problem that several others including the OEM, Asus, failed to do. Because of how many months I have been dealing with the power supply problem, hubs not delivering what they promised and this being the only hub that did work, I rate this product at 5 stars. It's less expensive than the Asus hub that stops working immediately after purchasing. It has more ports than the Asus hub with the extra SD card reader that the Asus hub doesn't have. It's a heavier duty outer shell compared to the Asus. The cord is thicker and better protected compared to the Asus, so it reduces the chance for stressing or bending the cord in a way that could break the wires inside or break the connector away from the wires. It's just a better design overall, when compared to the Asus hub. I am extremely satisfied with this Acer hub and I would recommend it since it did the "impossible" task that no other brand could do for me. 5 stars, indeed.

Actually amazing hub, it just works!
Color: Space grey
This dock is carrying my handheld system so hard right now, and for such a good price. I have literally every port filled including using the HDMI and it hasn't failed on me at all.

Good little device
Color: Space grey
Nice little device. Works well with external drives and HDMI connections to a MacBook Air. Doesn't work great with a mouse USB 2 donegal - sporadic. Does work with USB 2 keyboard and a monitor HDMI for creating a "docking station" for my MacBook, but difficult with no mouse option. Good quality. Fairly compact. Nice color! Decent value for money for a known brand.

No annoying "Disk not ejected properly" messages!
Color: Space grey
I use these with MacBook Airs, both Intel and Apple M3, and they stay connected. Previous —cheaper—dongles kept disconnecting with no apparent moving of the computer or the dongle. I'd get the annoying "Disk not ejected properly" message repeatedly, meaning I'd have to remove the dongle plug, reinsert it, and hope that the external device showed up on the computer and stayed connected. These always stay connected and seem to work well for the external devices I use. I think it's in the plug: with the Acer, I hear a distinct little click when the plug is fully inserted—perhaps some subtle locking mechanism the cheaper dongles did not have.
