Philodendron gloriosum dark form

Philodendron gloriosum dark form has the crawling stem of Philodendron gloriosum, with deeper mature leaf colour. New leaves open soft and velvety, then harden into dark green, heart-shaped blades with pale veins across the surface. The contrast becomes clearer as each leaf firms after unfurling.

The surface-running stem continues forward across the substrate and should stay visible at the surface. A broad container, an airy mix and open space ahead of the active tip help the plant produce new leaves without the stem pressing against the pot edge.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form leaf colour

  • Leaf colour: Mature leaves develop a deep green tone across the velvety blade.
  • Vein contrast: Pale veins stand out clearly against the darker mature leaf surface.
  • Growth habit: The creeping stem travels across the substrate and needs room at the growing tip.
  • Leaf development: New blades open soft, then firm gradually as the surface hardens.
  • Family: Araceae.

How Philodendron gloriosum dark form develops across the pot

New leaves show the colour change clearly as they harden, with the surface becoming darker and the pale veins more defined. Each leaf emerges from the creeping stem and firms gradually after unfurling. The active tip should have open substrate ahead of it so new growth can continue in its natural direction.

A broad container gives the creeping stem room to move forward. The stem should sit at the surface, with roots growing below it in a loose, airy mix. This setup reduces rot risk around the stem and gives the plant enough space to build larger leaves.

Care for Philodendron gloriosum dark form

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light to support steady growth and compact petioles.
  • Cleaning: Dust leaves gently with a soft cloth; rough wiping can mark the velvety surface.
  • Stem position: Keep the creeping stem visible at the surface and avoid piling wet mix over it.
  • Substrate: Use bark, perlite, coco chips and a light organic base for an open root zone.
  • Watering: Let the top 25–35% of the pot dry before watering again, then drain thoroughly.
  • Temperature: Keep warm at 18–28°C and protect the root zone from cold draughts.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves open with fewer stuck tips or torn edges.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser diluted below full strength.
  • Repotting: Repot when the creeping stem reaches the pot edge or the roots have filled the container.
  • Propagation: Stem sections with at least one node can root in a warm, humid setup.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base and clear old, wet cataphyll material from the stem surface.
  • Mineral substrates: It can adapt to airy semi-hydro or mineral substrates if the creeping stem stays above the wet zone.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form issues

  • Brown leaf patches: Check for direct sun, water sitting on leaves or physical rubbing against nearby plants.
  • Pale, stretched growth: Move to brighter indirect light and check that the plant is not shaded by taller plants.
  • Stem rot: Improve airflow around the creeping stem and reduce moisture at the surface.
  • Stuck leaf tips: Raise humidity around new growth and avoid irregular drying while a leaf is unfurling.
  • Pests: Check the undersides of leaves and petiole bases for thrips, spider mites and mealybugs.
  • Yellow leaves: Usually point to heavy substrate, overwatering or a root zone that stays wet for too long.

Pet safety for Philodendron gloriosum dark form

Philodendron gloriosum dark form contains calcium oxalate crystals. Ingestion can irritate the mouth and digestive tract, so keep the plant away from pets that chew leaves.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form botanical background

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, a reference to climbing growth in many members of the genus. The base species Philodendron gloriosum was described by Édouard André and published in Illustration Horticole in 1876. The epithet gloriosum means glorious or splendid. In cultivation, the dark form name is used for plants with a deeper mature leaf colour than the typical green form.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form brings the species’ low crawling growth together with darker velvet leaves and pale, defined venation.

Good fit, light weight, very comfortable
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Army Green
I've purchased several of these now and overall they seem like a decent buy for the price. They are very light weight and seem to retain their shape and avoid wrinkling when hung to dry after washing. Despite never seeing a clothes dryer however, the black variant still pilled up a bit after moderate use. There seems to be some variation in sizing: all the black and olive colored ones seem pretty consistent but the gray run small and the blue just a bit large (all purchased in XL, me at 6'3 and 225#)

Great with a great price
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: X-Large, Color: A-blue/Army Green
First off. I am female 5’10”. I thought the extra large fit great. The material is very soft and light. I think they’re warm though. I just washed them for the first time yesterday with dryer. Air dry. I’d like to see after a couple washes and know how the dryer affects it.

Great products, Great seller!
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Dark Blue
I have ordered over $600.00 worth of goods from this seller. Every single purchase has been exactly as advertised. The gym clothing is made with quality materials and have held up great thru my 5 day a week workouts. I have also ordered some of their fitted shirts to wear with slacks and jeans. And again all the items are extremely well made, fit as expected, and are made with quality materials. I would highly recommend purchasing from this seller. The have never let me down.

Wide, feminine neck
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Army Green
I ordered Medium, as I usually wear. I’m 5’11” 175lbs. The neck was very wide and cut semi/deep. It looked like a woman’s workout shirt. The material looks and feels nice, and other than the neck it fit true to size. I returned it because of how they fit in the neck.
