Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum has broad, heart-shaped leaves with a velvety to matte surface and textured petioles. The foliage can appear dark green to bronze-green on top, with paler undersides that may show red-purple tones.

This species is native from Costa Rica to Peru, where it grows as a climber in wet tropical forest. Indoors, its scaly-looking petioles and soft leaf surface need careful handling, stable humidity, and space for new leaves to open cleanly.

Visible traits of Philodendron verrucosum

  • Leaf shape: Broad cordate leaves form a rounded, heart-shaped profile.
  • Leaf surface: Velvety to matte texture marks more easily than glossy Philodendron foliage.
  • Colour detail: Dark green to bronze-green upper leaves with paler undersides that can show red-purple tones.
  • Petioles: Scaly to hairy-looking petioles remain visibly textured below the leaf blade.
  • Growth habit: A climbing stem develops nodes and grows upward on vertical support.

Climbing behaviour of Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum climbs from node to node, producing aerial roots along the stem. A stable pole or plank keeps the plant upright and gives developing leaves space to open without rubbing against older foliage.

The velvet leaf surface responds quickly to handling damage, dry air, and pests. Place the plant where new leaves can unfurl freely and avoid brushing the leaf surface during routine care.

Care for Philodendron verrucosum

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps growth compact while protecting the velvet leaf surface from scorch.
  • Water: Water once the upper part of the mix has started to dry; soggy roots can lead to yellowing and collapse.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new velvet leaves unfurl without sticking or tearing.
  • Substrate: A chunky aroid mix keeps thick roots aerated and reduces wet-root stress.
  • Support: A moss pole or plank gives aerial roots contact points as the stem climbs.
  • Temperature: Warm, stable conditions reduce leaf deformation and root stress.

Common issues with Philodendron verrucosum

  • Stuck leaves: Low humidity can cause new leaves to catch, wrinkle, or tear during unfurling.
  • Dry edges: Crispy margins can come from dry air, irregular watering, or salt buildup in the substrate.
  • Pests: Thrips and spider mites can mark soft velvet leaves quickly, especially on new growth.
  • Root decline: Dense wet substrate can cause yellowing, limp leaves, and slow recovery after watering.

Botanical background of Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum was described by L. Mathieu ex Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1856. The name verrucosum refers to a rough or warted surface, matching the species’ textured petioles.

Safety note for Philodendron verrucosum

Like other Philodendron, this plant contains calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and children who may chew the leaves or stems.

Best face lotion for combination skin
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best face lotion. Leaves my skin feeling hydrated without being oily (I have combination skin). Only downside is no sun protection. But lotions with sunscreen tend to make me break out. Ive used this lotion for about 8 years and its the only one that I dont break out with.

My Holy Grail for really good moisturizing!!
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Ok this is long but worth it, I hope. I absolutely LOVE this moisturizer. It is very moisturizing, and doesn't just sit on top of your skin, it soaks in! I messed up my skin barrier with some products because as I hit my 40's it couldn't handle the strong stuff (Retinal, Vit C, AHA/BHA) that I have used daily for 20 yrs. So rude, like hormone changes and wrinkles weren't enough, lol. All of a sudden my super oily skin was still oily, but also had really dry spots. I was at a loss. This moisturizer works so well and helped repair my skin barrier without breaking me out!! I also use the Avene Thermal Spring Water spray, it also really helped me get my skin back under control and I will never stop using it. The water spray is super light, feels like water, and soaks in so well... truly is very moisturizing while being super light. I apply that first, then my serums and moisturizer. **Other products I also use: the Avene Cleanance Concentrate I use on my areas where I get blemishes (still getting breakouts in your 40's is also rude)... it helps those areas stay clear but moisturized, doesn't dry my skin at ALL. Also use there Retrinal and A-Oxitive... my skin just was not tolerating my usual stronger Retinal and VitC. These two work really well without the irritation!! Iise them on alternating days for now. I have tried many many brands, skincare is my thing...and I truly love every single product I have used by this brand, really am glad I found this product line!! Hope this helps someone.

Great quality of product
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream has always been my favorite because it has great quality and effectiveness, I bought it two times and before I used to wear it in the summer and it did not make my skin oily. It is lighter, yet moisturizing if you know what I mean.

This is the new formula, with a blue cap
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This cream has been a great basic moisturizer for use with acne creams (.25% tretinoin, in my case). You may notice some reviewers saying it's fake because of the blue cap and the fact that it just says "soothing," but that's the new packaging. You can see that on the Avene website. This doesn't have the "luxe" feel of some other brands, but this did the job by keeping my skin moisturized and acne free. When I am in the mood to buy something else, I usually buy something else, but this is the best budget option - definitely better than any of the drugstore brands.
