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.

In his own words, King promotes peace and integration through boycotting
Format: Paperback
Martin Luther King Jr. was not only an excellent writer but an incredible man. This books exemplifies the usefulness of peaceful protest and boycotting and how such actions successfully ended segregation in many businesses in the South. This work also destroys the myth that Martin Luther King had a soft spot for un-peaceful protest and rioting. In his own words he proves that this could not be further from the truth. A brilliant book by a brilliant man.

Very informative
Format: Paperback
Dr. King shares his involvement in the Montgomery bus boycott and emphasizes his philosophy of non-violence. I also found interesting Dr. King's critique of Marxism which can be found in this book.

Short accessible great read on one of the most beautiful beings this world has yet seen
Format: Audiobook
This is a very short, quick-paced story of the beautiful heart-mind that was called Gandhi. It does a great job at getting at the essence of Gandhi (depending of course on your already built paradigm and the glasses you are wearing). Highly recommended along with his Autobiography - I read his autobiography and watched the movie before reading this one, possibly the other way around works too. He is such an inspiration! Great few hours spent. And to come back to.

Brilliant
Format: Paperback
Of many books about Gandi that I have read, I find that this one really follows and details not just his political beliefs and his many professional and family activities, but his development as a spiritual leader as well and lots of photos. It's a beautiful book and I plan to buy more copies as gifts.
