Philodendron gloriosum

Philodendron gloriosum is a Colombian crawling Philodendron grown for large heart-shaped leaves with a velvety surface and pale venation. Its surface-running stem moves sideways across the substrate and produces one new leaf at a time from the active growing tip. A wide, shallow pot gives the stem room to advance while the root zone stays airy and evenly drained.

The creeping stem has visible internodes and persistent cataphylls, and it belongs at the substrate surface. Roots grow down into the mix while the active tip continues forward across the pot.

Philodendron gloriosum velvet leaves and crawling growth

  • Leaf shape: Broad, heart-shaped blades become larger as the creeping stem establishes.
  • Texture: The velvety surface gives mature leaves a deep green, matte finish.
  • Venation: Pale veins define the blade shape and become more pronounced as leaves harden.
  • Growth habit: A surface-creeping stem needs horizontal pot space and an airy substrate surface.
  • Family: Araceae.

How Philodendron gloriosum creeps across the pot

Philodendron gloriosum develops one leaf at a time from a crawling stem. The stem should stay visible on top of the substrate, with roots growing down into an airy aroid mix. Deep planting keeps moisture around the stem and increases the risk of rot.

As the stem advances, the plant builds a low, spreading shape with new leaves emerging from the active tip. A pot with open substrate ahead of the growing point supports cleaner growth, especially once the stem begins reaching the pot edge.

Care for Philodendron gloriosum crawling stems

  • Pot shape: Choose a wider pot so the creeping stem has room to move forward.
  • Stem position: Keep the surface-running stem visible and clear of wet, compacted mix.
  • Watering: Water when the upper 25–35% of the pot has dried, then let the surface settle before watering again.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix that holds light moisture while draining quickly around the roots.
  • Light: Provide bright indirect light to support broad leaves and steady growth.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves open with fewer tears or stuck edges.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally around 18–27°C, and protect it from cold draughts.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser diluted below full strength.
  • Repotting: Repot when the growing stem reaches the pot edge or root growth has filled the container.
  • Propagation: Stem sections with at least one node can root in a warm, humid setup.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the base of the petiole and keep old, wet cataphyll material from collecting around the stem.
  • Mineral substrates: It can adapt to airy semi-hydro or mineral substrates if the creeping stem stays above the wet zone.

Philodendron gloriosum stem and leaf issues

  • Soft creeping stem: Check planting depth and moisture; the stem should sit on top of the mix.
  • Yellow leaves: Often linked to heavy substrate or overwatering around the roots.
  • Torn new leaves: Improve humidity and keep watering steadier while leaves are expanding.
  • Stalled growth: Check whether the growing tip has run out of horizontal space.
  • Pests: Check the undersides of leaves and the petiole bases for thrips, spider mites and mealybugs.
  • Leaf spotting: Improve airflow around the plant and keep the velvety leaf surface dry after watering.

Pet safety for Philodendron gloriosum

Philodendron gloriosum is toxic if eaten and can irritate the mouth and digestive tract. Place it away from pets and wash your hands after handling cut or damaged tissue.

Philodendron gloriosum published name and etymology

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, a reference to climbing and tree-associated growth in much of the genus. Philodendron gloriosum was described by Édouard André and published in Illustration Horticole in 1876. The species epithet gloriosum means glorious or splendid, matching the broad velvety leaves and pale venation seen on mature plants.

Philodendron gloriosum brings a low, spreading growth habit together with large velvet leaves and bold pale veins.

Ordered 3
Size: 44C, Color: Black
Great bra, pretty true to size, comfortable. Ordered one in fall and tried several other name brand underwire bras (lane bryant, Victoria Secret, Bali, Torrid, Hanes), returned most of them and came back for two more colors of this brand that I’d never heard of before. The material is nice, they fit well, I wash in cold on delicate and hang dry: so far so good. I normally take a 42C and went 44 for these. I think a 42 probably woulda been ok (I’m on the middle hook) but someone said they ran small. I’m not sure of that but keep it in mind if you’re maybe between sizes.

The BEST BRA for big bewbs!
Size: 36G, Color: Black
I've been a fan of Delimira for a while - it's hard to find a well made, comfortable, breathable bra for larger cup sizes at a price that doesn't require taking out a mortgage to afford it. I love this bra. It fits well, it's comfortable, it doesn't get hot, it seems really durable, and it's...sturdy. The underwire is not annoying, and while it's not the cutest bra, it's also not the most matronly bra I own. I have it in all three available colors and will 100% buy more colors should they ever release them.

Didn’t last for very long. Comfortable
Size: 42DD, Color: Beige
Comfortable bra. Good price but the wire popped out on one side after about 8 times of wearing it. Maybe it was the way I laundered it. It’s comfortable enough to want to order again and test that theory.

Love love love this bra.
Size: 34E, Color: Beige
I dont really write reviews but really felt like I needed to hop on here and give one. I have a terrible time finding bras that fit (small frame and my boobs never shrunk back down after having kids). I was initially looking for a non-underwire bra and ordred a couple to try. Was annoyed when this came in having underwire but thought ok, well its here so may as well try it. Fit like a dream so I told myself, Ill wear it for an hour and see how I feel about it then. I totally forgot I was wearing it. It is SO comfortable. The back doesnt ride up, I dont have underboob, it breathes nicely, holds me up, straps dont dig in or fall down, and I dont feel a huge sense of relief after taking it off at the end of the day. Ive ordered two more and after a few weeks of wearing and washing a couple times, I still absolutely love it.

The PERFECT bra!
Size: 38D, Color: Barely Buff
I typically don't write reviews...but I just had to with this bra! I have not worn an underwire bra in years. I have had such a hard time finding something that is comfortable, supportive and does not allow for overflow. This bra is perfect! The material is soft and stretchy. It covers everything and does it comfortably! It also provides a perfect lift! The color is a perfect skin tone. Pretty sure I will be buying more!
