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.

Not as good as pure copper, but maybe good enough
Size: 14AWG-50FT, Size: 14AWG-50FT
This wire is copper-clad aluminum, which means you sacrifice some conductivity for a for a less expensive conductor. This wire is very lightly clad with copper - the thinness of the copper coating is obvious from a casual observation (see image). I measured 4-wire resistance across the entire length (50') of wire - it comes out to 0.34 ohms on each lead. This is a bit less than double what you'd expect from an equivalent length of the same gauge of multistrand copper, so if you're planning on running a long length of this it might be prudent to pretend that you're working with a slightly smaller gauge than you actually are. That is exactly the approach I'm taking with it, and it works well for me within that context.

Great speaker wire
Size: 14AWG-50FT
I ordered this speaker wire to replace my speakers in my car. I highly appreciated that there are 50' included on this spool, it's perfect for rewiring the stereo speakers in a car (or house). The wire appears to be made well and is the correct gauge. The sound quality is great with my new speakers, and I am highly impressed. I recommend this speaker wire to others, it's exactly what I needed and has met my expectations for high quality speaker wire.

Higher resistance than expected
Size: 14AWG-50FT, Size: 14AWG-50FT
I like Nilight products, I really do, but this one isn’t as good as it could be. After reading other reviews I wanted to take a different test approach and measure the resistance of the whole roll. I thought this might explain the low rating of 5.6A at 12V. I believe my test explains this rating. First, you need to make sure you understand that this is copper clad aluminum. It is clear in the ad title but make sure you are good with that. The test consisted of me removing the entire 50 feet of wire from the spool to reach the other end. I then stripped back the end and tied the two together securely. Only soldering would have produced a more complete contact. I then tested the resistance of the roll with an Agilent U251B multimeter which gave the reading in the pic of .75ohms. That’s not much but compared to what I found on several charts that was high. The average resistance of 14 gauge 41 strand copper wire should be 2.63ohms per 1000 feet or .1315 per 50 feet. The wire tested 5.7 times greater resistance. Obviously aluminum will test with more resistance than pure copper but I was unable to find what those values should be. The insulation is thick and durable so abrasion wear shouldn’t be an issue if routed properly. The wire may still be great for your application but if you are considering pushing this wire to the load limit you may want to upsize to 12 gauge.

Best lights you can get for the best pricing!
Color: 5in Round LED Pod, Color: 5in Round LED Pod
I have had man different off road lights over the years for many different vehicles. Let me tell you about these 5” aux beams. I ordered these lights to go on my 2500 as ditch lights and I am beyond impressed! The lights showed up well packaged. When opening the box, the instructions where right on top and by far one if the easiest sets of instructions I’ve had for wiring diagrams. The lights were packaged and wrapped in foam all the way around to protect them from shipping. The wrapping of the lenses for scratch prevention was perfect. The included wiring harness was packed in a bag and laid out very easily for installation. The harness hooked to the battery and then to the lights with easy quick connects and had more than enough length to put the lights anywhere. Once they were mounted and installed I hooked them up to my aux beams switch panel with ease. Now for the lights! The brightness is beyond bright enough to see miles away! These lights will shine anything you could ever want to see. The spot flood combo work exceptionally well for all situations and darkness. The side shooter stretch them beam out to the sites and can see all the way across. The running lights tie in very easy with your turn signals for extra turn lights or running lights. Heavy duty is an understatement for the quality of these lights. I’m still running them after several months with no water intrusion and still as bright as the day I installed them. The price for what you get, is far beyond better than other top brands! I will be buying more of these for my next off roading set up!

Too big for a tiger, but works well on the fiddy
Color: 4*2.5in Cube LED Pod
Not as bright as the graph says they are, or maybe I'm not in a dark enough area at night. But they definitely are blinding. Were too big for my adv bike unfortunately, but they work good on my truck as ditch lights. Not too bulky looking like the cubes are and no wind noise that I can hear. Definitely lights up the wma trails and the side shooters are very helpful. I will note though that as soon as your hood gets dusty it becomes blinding from the inside side shooters though. so I painted the yellow lens cover on the inside sides and it helps a lot with the hood glare.
