Philodendron 'Imperial Green'

Philodendron 'Imperial Green' is a self-heading Philodendron with large glossy green leaves and a defined central stem. It develops as a leafy rosette and usually needs no pole support. As it matures, the plant becomes broader through leaf size, petiole spread and layered green growth.

The foliage is smooth, oval to broadly lance-shaped and held on sturdy petioles. New leaves open fresh green, then harden into a richer mature tone. The leaves are arranged around a central stem, so pot stability, drainage and correct planting depth are important.

Large green rosette traits

  • Growth habit: Self-heading Philodendron with a defined central stem and no climbing requirement.
  • Leaf size: Broad, glossy green leaves that become larger as the plant matures.
  • Plant shape: Outward-spreading foliage with a full mature width.
  • Support needs: Usually grown without a pole; a stable pot matters more than vertical support.
  • Indoor behaviour: Responds well to bright indirect light, warm temperatures and a chunky root zone.

Central stem, petiole spread and pot balance

Philodendron 'Imperial Green' grows from a central stem with leaves emerging in sequence. The petioles hold the blades outward, so the plant gradually takes up more horizontal space. Mature leaves can become heavy, and a lightweight nursery pot may tip once the plant has filled out. A cachepot or heavier outer pot can help balance the plant without disturbing the roots.

The base should sit at the same level it was grown in the nursery pot. Burying the lower stem under extra mix can trap moisture and encourage rot. The plant’s root system needs both moisture and oxygen, so dense soil is a common reason for yellowing leaves, stalled growth and soft lower tissue.

Philodendron 'Imperial Green' develops a balanced mature shape through steady leaf production and broad petiole spread. Older leaves create the lower width, while newer leaves rise from the centre and keep the plant visually full. Good light from more than one side, or regular rotation, helps the plant stay balanced as the leaf mass increases.

Care for a large self-heading Philodendron

  • Light: Bright indirect light gives the best leaf size and balanced growth. Strong direct sun can scorch the glossy surface.
  • Watering: Water when the upper few centimetres of the mix are dry. The root ball should be evenly moistened, then allowed to drain fully.
  • Substrate: Choose a chunky, well-aerated aroid mix. Bark, pumice, perlite and coco fibre help prevent the mix from collapsing around the roots.
  • Temperature: Keep above 18°C for active growth. Cold wet substrate is more damaging than a short dry spell.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity supports cleaner leaf expansion. A humidifier can help in very dry indoor air.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Large leaves need nutrients, but overfeeding can brown the tips.
  • Pot stability: Use a pot with drainage and enough weight to support the mature leaf spread.
  • Repotting: Repot into the next size up once roots fill the container. Avoid jumping into a pot that holds too much wet mix.

Growth and root-zone warning signs

  • Yellowing leaves: Usually linked to overwatering, compacted substrate or low light. Check root condition and drainage before changing the watering schedule.
  • Soft stem base: A warning sign of excess moisture around the central stem. Remove wet old leaf bases and inspect the root ball.
  • Brown leaf edges: Can follow irregular watering, low humidity, salt build-up or root stress. Flush the substrate if fertiliser residue is likely.
  • Leaning plant: Rotate the pot and check whether the plant has become top-heavy. Repotting or a heavier outer pot may be needed.
  • Small new leaves: Often linked to weak light, depleted substrate or a restricted root system.

Philodendron 'Imperial Green' is easier to maintain when the root zone is checked by touch rather than watered on a fixed calendar. Its thick leaves can hide stress for a while, so slow growth, yellowing or a dull leaf surface should trigger a root and light check before symptoms spread.

Safety and handling

Philodendron 'Imperial Green' is not pet-safe. Like other Philodendron, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and digestive tract if ingested. The sap may irritate skin, especially after pruning or removing damaged leaves.

DeCoster origin and Philodendron name

Philodendron is an accepted genus in Araceae. Its name comes from Greek elements meaning “loving” and “tree”, a reference to the way many species grow in contact with trees in tropical American habitats. Philodendron 'Imperial Green' was selected by Paul DeCoster in Melle, Belgium, from Bamboo Nursery seedlings of unknown parentage.

Philodendron 'Imperial Green' develops large glossy green leaves on a freestanding self-heading plant with a broad mature spread.

Best toy EVER for a very active dog!
Style: Classic, Size: 26in
This is the best item I've purchased for my young Mini Schnauzer. He absolutely loves that I can now pitch the tennis ball quite a ways and he gets loads of running time. He begs for me to use this toy for him . . . he LOVES it! Easy on the arm as well!

Our dogs love it
Style: Classic, Size: 26in
On one of our trips to the dog park we saw someone using one of these with their dogs, it looked pretty neat and the ball flew so much farther than by hand. It wasn't very long before our dog got caught up in the excitement and joined the pack running after the tennis ball. Our dog stood with the rest of the dogs at the park staring at the ball in this launcher and waiting for the lady to throw it, once thrown the entire pack raced across the park after the ball,...they loved it! I decided to buy our own after watching and seeing how much fun they were having. This arrived a couple of days after I ordered it, and what struck me as funny was our dog recognized it as the toy from the dog park as soon as I pulled it out of the box. She couldn't wait to play. There is a small learning curve, but after a few trial throws I got the hang of it. This 26M launcher is a little large for me, it works but seems to work out better for my husband. I am going to order the smaller 18M size for myself. Both of our dogs had a great time, we had them running all over the place chasing after the ball. It was great being able to tire them out! With this launcher you can throw the ball farther and faster than you can by hand. Being able to scoop the ball up without having to touch it is a bonus, especially when the ball returns full of dirt and dog drool! This ball launcher can also be used with regular tennis balls too so if the ball that comes with the launcher gets lost it is easily replaced. Perfect toy for tiring out our dogs! *Update 9/24/16- I ordered the Junior 18M, it works so much better for me. The longer length of the 26M was starting to make my wrist sore, however my husband has had no issues. I'm 5'4" and my husband is 6'3" in case this info helps anyone make a decision on which one to buy. I know I went back and forth trying to figure out which one, which is why we now have two. ;)

If you were looking for a sign to buy this, here it is
Color: A) Small 2.5" Ball
If you are looking for a ball that can stand up next to a heavy, aggressive chewer.. this is a good choice. Our Pitbull literally destroyed any and every toy that she gets with the exception of one kind of kong ball. She tore through the kong Frisbees, any kind of squeaker toy, and the wobble wag giggle ball (she usually always ends up destroying these but it takes a few weeks. Today she beat her record and had her brand new ball destroyed within the first 30 minutes of us taking it out of the box). But, this ball she has not been able to destroy. I'd like to believe that the Kong ball she has and this ball are made of the same material. Because they are the only balls she can't ruin. And it's not because of a lack of trying. We have watched her sit there and chew with a side of her mouth for an hour or more, trying to make some kind of indention or tear in it and it just never happened. She loves to chew this thing, chase this thing, sleep with this thing. I most certainly recommend this ball. If it is I'ah proof then it is most certainly, 100% a durable ball and worth every penny

Chew King Supreme Chew Toy
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
So far, freaking amazing. This ball is awesome. I have a 90 lb American Bulldog. Like other reviews. Lot of " indestructible balls" lasted minimum time. Not this one. She even took it to bed with her I bought the 3 inch ball, not the 4 inch ball. The 3 inch ball works amazingly for a large Dog. Yes the 4 inch would be better. So in my opinion, either ball would be fine. As others also said. This ball keeps a active Dog busy for hours. Love to play catch. Love frozen peanut butter in it. One last thing. The price is amazing. I don't see needing to buy another, unless it is lost, because this is made to last. We couldn't be happier.

Malinois proof
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
So far this has held up great. My Malinois who has destroyed nearly every ball I’ve gotten her, this one has lasted over 3 weeks without a dent, compared to some that don’t even last a day lol. Although the medium size is a little too big for her liking she still plays with it. It’s very durable and I like the middle part for engagement as well. I would recommend if you have a dog who destroys every ball possible.
