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.

Perfect for my wife! Great quality and durability
I’m very impressed with this spinning jewelry box! My expectations were pretty high before receiving it, and I’m happy to say they were definitely met. The materials used are top-quality and have a pleasant, fresh wood scent. The felt lining inside is incredibly soft and adds a touch of luxury. All the drawers open smoothly, except for the side ones, which are a bit stiff—my only minor critique. I wish they glided as easily as the rest. Functionality-wise, this box is excellent. It offers plenty of space for storing a variety of jewelry pieces, and the spinning feature is smooth and effortless. After a few days of use, it’s been a completely enjoyable experience. Overall, this is a beautiful, well-made piece that combines quality, functionality, and elegance. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a stylish and durable jewelry storage solution.

Lots of storage for jewelry
So much more organization for my jewelry! It spends very easily and has plenty of storage. I like the large mirror on one side, the multiple earring holders as well as many necklace holders too. I really love how you can pull out the two pieces, that definitely adds more storage than if it was only a flat side. There's even a spot specifically for bracelets and watches. One of the sides actually has a cover you have to pull down, which I feel like gives it extra protection from dust or moisture, but has a glass window so you can see in. I like the smaller ring holder in that spot just because I don't own many rings. But I wish the one that holds the bracelets didn't have as many ring holders because that's not very useful to me. The other thing is it is very difficult to work my way behind the earrings to put the backs on, so I wish there was a way to take those out, put the earrings in, and then put them back. There's also a nice little extra spot up top and clothes on all sides to store more things. So overall it is helping to keep my cabinet and vanity a lot more cleaner. The price for me is a little high though in my opinion.

Great Spinning Jewelry Box
If I could give this more stars and recommendations, I would! There are different compartments for every piece of jewelry you might have. And with my recent obsession with jewelry, this box has been quite handy! The design, along with the organization of each piece, is top-tier, plus it rotates!

Inventive, rotating and spacious!
This is a really clever design for a jewelry box. I love how it rotates so that you can access many parts of it easily. I like the top that you can put your most worn necklaces or bracelets in. The mirror compartment that comes out is pretty clever and useful. There is a part that comes out that holds rings and bracelets and then another compartment that comes out that holds necklaces on both sides. Then of course there's one of the sides of the rotating box that has a place for your earrings and even a place that you can drop other pieces in the bottom of that side. There's so many things to love about this rotating jewelry box. My favorite has to be what I call the favorites compartment. It's the part that you pull down a glass window and it has a place for everything. You can put four necklaces several Rings several earrings right in that one spot. I'm definitely going to be using that part the most. I'm really happy with it! It's really great for meeting personal jewelry storage needs or as a gift. It's unlike any jewelry box I've ever seen. It's a good price for what you get as well.
