Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra' - Unique Care Tips and Information
Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra' is a remarkable variety of the beloved Philodendron gloriosum, celebrated for its striking venation patterns. What makes this plant stand out is the bold contrast between its deep green velvety leaves and the primary and secondary veins, creating a unique, almost zebra-like appearance. As a creeping aroid, this plant is perfect for those seeking to create a lush, spreading look in their home or terrarium. Its velutinous leaves and creeping growth habit give it an eye-catching presence in any plant collection.
Key Features of Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra'
- Bold Veining: Unlike other varieties, 'Zebra' boasts prominent primary and secondary veins that form a striking graphic pattern against the dark green leaves.
- Velvety Foliage: The soft, velvety texture of the leaves not only enhances its visual appeal but also adds a tactile element.
- Repent Growth: This plant grows in a creeping manner, ideal for wide containers or as a terrarium ground cover, allowing it to spread and showcase its beauty.
- Colorful Petioles: The petioles transition from green at the base to a reddish hue near the veins, featuring white longitudinal striations that add to its stunning appearance.
- Unique Leaf Shape: The leaves are cordate-ovate, thinly herbaceous with a dark green upper side and paler undersides. The reddish margins and contrasting pale midribs provide an extra layer of visual interest.
How to Care for Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra'
Taking care of your Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra' is straightforward, as long as you follow some simple guidelines.
- Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect light to keep the venation vibrant. The plant can tolerate lower light, but too little light may dull the striking contrast of its veins. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
- Watering Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but allow the top few centimeters to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
- Humidity Preferences: This plant loves humidity levels of 60% or higher. Using a humidifier can help maintain the right conditions, but avoid misting or using pebble trays.
- Ideal Temperature Range: 18-27°C is best. Ensure it’s protected from cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C, which can slow growth or damage the leaves.
- Soil and Repotting: A well-draining, peat-free mix with perlite or orchid bark will keep the roots healthy. Repot every 2-3 years.
- Feeding Schedule: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Pruning and Pest Control: Remove damaged or yellowing leaves as needed. Check for pests like spider mites and aphids, treating with insecticidal soap if needed.
Common Issues and Solutions for Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra'
- Root Rot: Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot. Ensure the soil has good drainage and reduce watering frequency if necessary.
- Pests: Spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs may infest the plant. Use insecticidal soap to treat any outbreaks promptly.
- Leaf Scorching: If you notice brown spots or scorching, move the plant to an area with less direct sunlight.
- Yellowing Leaves: This could indicate overwatering or a nutrient deficiency.
Origin of the Name: Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra'
The name "Philodendron" derives from the Greek words "philo" (love) and "dendron" (tree), reflecting the plant’s climbing or creeping tendencies. "Gloriosum" refers to its glorious, eye-catching appearance, while the 'Zebra' designation highlights the bold venation pattern that sets this variety apart.

Protection with days of white residue
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mineral sunscreens have yet to master blending in and this is no different. If you're thinking of hitting the beach with your sexy bum protected it'd better be a ghost beach because you'll look like you've been dipped in white paint. Oh, and it doesn't wash off, so be prepared to look like Casper for days to come.
It rolls on fine if you shake it well first and it does protect.

This has become my go to daily sunscreen
Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
After first purchasing a year ago, this has become my daily go-to facial sunscreen while others just sit taking up space in my medicine cabinet.
I have sensitive skin and severe reactions to chemical sunscreen and have been searching for the perfect mineral sunscreen for several years after starting tretinoin made my reaction to chemical sunscreen intolerable. I only recently figured out I am also highly sensitive to chemical boosters found in a lot of mineral sunscreens. Especially Butyloctyl salicylate. That one is a no-go for me and until I learned about chemical boosters found in a lot of "100 % mineral" sunscreens, could not figure out why some of my sunscreens made my face flush red and feel like it was on fire when I was in the sun. Lab Muffin is my hero.
My skin is dry, mature, and sensitive with some lines/wrinkes, large pores, and rosacea. At first I thought this Sun Bum tinted mineral would be too drying as it has a very light texture vs being creamy. But it is not and the texture makes for a light but effective formula.
PROS:
- Mineral formula with no chemical boosters.
- Does not settle in pores and wrinkles. After applying it settles slightly in lines, but a quick blend with a blending brush and it is good for the day.
- Blends easily into hairline and brows.
- Does not sting my eyes when I sweat and seems relatively sweat proof.
-Does not transfer tint to clothes once it dries down. Even when I wipe away sweat.... nothing seems to come off. It is the only tinted mineral I have tried with little to no tint transfer.
- Blends easily with a very soft silky texture that allows you to blend without any tugging on the skin like a lot of mineral formulas.
- Matte finish but with a subtle glow.
- Tint provides light coverage to even out skin, though does not cover everything. As someone who rarely wears makeup I appreciate the subtle coverage which does not look overdone but helps my skin look better.
- Does not emphasize occasional tretinoin dry patches. Some of my other sunscreens (even tinted) seem to make dry patches look worse. This formula covers them without emphasizing (or irritating) them.
- Does not feel heavy on my skin. I can't stand feeling sunscreen on my face (or anything which is the main reason I do not wear much makeup) and this formula is so light once it is on I forget it is there.
-Light coverage lasts all day if I don't sweat. Needs some reapplication when sweating.
-Does seem to provide SPF 30 coverage. With reports about sunscreens underperforming lately, this one does appear to work. I can burn in less than 15-20 minutes in full sun, but no problems with this sunscreen when reapplied after sweating or long sun exposure (I work outdoors as a field biologist, so this one is huge. While I usually wear a hat, it does not cover everything as I cannot use a wide brim hat for my work.)
CONS:
- The tube. It is not awful, but I always seem to get a build up of product in the cap no matter what I do. This seems like a waste of product, but is really a minor complaint.
- It does separate, but states clearly to shake before use. It seems to mix easily, so this is not really a con, just a warning to give it a good shake.
- Would love an option for an SPF 50, but again, minor complaint.
Overall, this is by far the best mineral facial sunscreen I have found so far for my particular skin and is used daily. The only reason I ever use anything else is to try to use them up. Other brands I have tried include: Undefined R&R sun serum SPF 50 ( a little too "glowy", emphasizes pores, and has niacinimide which I have to use with caution), Naked Sundays Collagen Glow mineral sunscreen SPF 50 (heavier and feel it on skin, but is my go-to when I must have SPF 50), CoTZ Flawless Complexion SPF 50 (feels heavy and not waterproof. Also even though I can'y find any chemical boosters in ingredients, something in this one makes my skin feel like it is on fire when in the sun), Cocokind daily SPF 32 (ok for a non tinted formula as not much whitecast, but does feel heavier than I would like), Murad City Skin Age Defense SPF 50 ( just too expensive), Koh Gen Do Watery Spa UV SPF 50 (my go-to non tinted formula these days though I still feel it on my skin and not waterproof and think it has been reformulated recently), Vanicream Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 (too thick and heavy), Hero Force Shield SPF 30 (was my favorite next to the Sun Bum until I realized the reaction in the sun was from the chemical booster Butyloctyl salicylate 😩), Agency SilkScreen SPF 50 (was ok, a bit too greasy and not much coverage, but went to back of pack as it has chemical boosters), Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral SPF 50 (I loved this formula and purchased several times before finally learning the reaction in the sun was from chemical boosters), Cetaphil Sunscreen Face Drops SPF 50 (quit using due to flaming face in sun as this one also has chemical boosters), and Etude Sunprise SPF 50 (only used ocassionally due to fragrance, but liked this formula until I clued into chemical boosters).

Love love love!
Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’m a big hyram fan and after I found out dear clairs and other Korean chemical sunscreen might not be as effective as claimed, I bought this product off of his recommendation. I was a little nervous about a few things.
For one I have the worlds Oiliest skin. I felt like dear klairs (my old sunscreen) did leave a bit of shine but it had controlled my oil better than any other sunscreen I tried... until now. This is the closest my skin has ever looked to “normal” as far as oiliness goes so props to that!
I also was hesitant on this product because of the tint but also didn’t want a white cast. I would say I’m light to medium with an olive undertone and I think it matches my skin really well! It almost looks like I have makeup on bc my skin tone much more even , but it doesn’t cover breakouts. I happened to have a few pimples (already had them ,not caused by the sunscreen) so you can see that the sunscreen doesn’t cover them completely but blurs/evens out the clear part of my skin. There is a slight white cast but I think the tint offsets it. . I couldn’t speak for other skin tones but I think if you’re light to medium/olive it matches really really well.
Finally I love the texture, it’s almost velvety and doesn’t pull on the skin which I hate in a face sunscreen. Not too thick not too watery, and just feels nice to apply. So I don’t really have anything bad to say about this product, but I’ve only had it two days so I’ll have to see if it causes any breakouts ect. But so far I would highly recommend!
Update: I have been using this for well over a year now, and I can never go back to anything else! It doesn't cause breakouts even when I've slept with it on by accident. I use it instead of a primer under my foundation, and it works amazing. I literally have no complaints; I have not gotten a sunburn since I started using this. I just reapply every few hours when I'm at the beach/pool. I love reapplying because it controls my oil and gives that blurred bb cream effect, I'm also able to put it under my eyes/on my eyelids without burning my eyes. I was never someone who got compliments on my skin, but that changed when I started using this along with the rest of my skincare routine (Shoutout Hyram!) I'm so glad I found this product!
2024 Update!
Still loving and using this sunscreen! I decided to try a couple of different brands earlier this year just because I hadn't ever branched out after finding this product, but this remains the best-tinted sunscreen for oil control and pore blurring I've ever tried!

Great tinted physical sunscreen
Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is my new favorite sunscreen. It goes on matte, but is still easy to put on/not pasty. The tint is enough to get rid of the ghost look but not so much that it looks like fake tanner. It's a bit greasier feeling than I'd like but it doesn't look greasy at all so I'll take it.

Stunning
Size: 1.7 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Good lord this is a beautiful mineral sunscreen. And at a reasonable price. It has a mouse-like consistency, is light and airy dries down to a satin-like finish after 15 or so minutes. It has a primer like feel to it which some might not like but this is perfect for those of us with combo/oily skin.
I’m fair/light skinned and the color is a perfect match. Gives me a light no-makeup makeup look. Works well under make-up as long as you let it set first.
One thing that's a con and has me on the fence about daily use is that because it's so thick and silicone like, you can't put the full 1/4 tsp on your face right away as it's just too much. For the 2 finger application I have to put it on in stages, and let each finger length dry down before adding the next, otherwise it's too much product to do all at once. Takes longer in the morning which isn't ideal but given everything else it has going for it it's still workable for me. I'll see over time if I want to repurchase.
