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.

Dude, it's not just a horror novel
Format: Paperback
This is to the previous reviewer (C. Scanlan). If this is just a horror novel, it failed miserably. It is not exactly a blood ’n gore thriller. Compared to Stephen King, it is pretty tame.
What puts the horror in this book is that it is social commentary. Mary Shelly is not just trying to scare us. It is more than just a “Friday the 13th” movie. Mary Shelly is delivering a message. It seems that everyone understands this except this reviewer. There have been several different interpretations of the novel (see [...] for 10 different meanings of the novel). ICE takes the interpretation that Shelly is saying science can go too far. This is a perfectly valid interpretation. One can disagree with this interpretation but let’s not resort to name calling and personal attacks – that those who hold such an interpretation are doing a “low level attempt to cash in on home schooling Christian paranoia and fear of health care” or believe that “AIDS [is] the fruit of sin”. My wife and I are Catholic parents and we sent our children to public schools
He mocks the idea of a secular fundamentalist but then demonstrates what that is. A religious fundamentalist sees anyone who disagrees with him as being of the devil. A secular fundamentalist sees anyone who disagrees with him as guilty of “brainwashing” others. In both cases, true dialogue is impossible.
Another thing that a fundamentalist does is that he sees things in opposite extremes. If you are warning of the dangers of trusting too much in science then you must be against science. There is no middle ground for the fundamentalist. If you see that science can sometimes go too far then that means you are against health care. But this is a non-sequitur.
Nielson writes “Frankenstein’s placing of the creation of life within the scientific method first destroys the unrepeatability and systematically eliminates the other elements [of hope, love, beauty, creativity and sacrifice]”. Nielson is not criticizing the scientific method in total. He is only criticizing it in the creation of life. The reviewer writes “He thereby easily and explicitly condemns the whole process and philosophy of the scientific method”. But Nielson is not condemning the whole process of the scientific method. He is only condemning it in the creation of life.
The reviewer then mocks the credentials of the critics in the book - “So who are these essayists superior to Norton's and Oxfords and free of deconstructionist feminist secular fundamentalism, experts so august Ignatius should want them mentioned on their product page yet are nowhere to be seen?” But this game can be played both ways. What are the credentials of this reviewer? Is this reviewer so august as to challenge these essayists? Again, this is merely an ad-hominem attack. I really do not care who has the best credentials. What matters is who makes sense. Sometimes intellectuals can make the dumbest claims. Read Paul Johnson’s book, “Intellectuals” (http://www.amazon.com/Intellectuals-Marx-Tolstoy-Sartre-Chomsky/dp/0061253170/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421862888&sr=8-1&keywords=intellectuals). He compares the essayists unfavorably to “good solid Roman Catholic moral theology” from the likes of Richard A. McCormick S.J., who “is the renowned leader of Roman Catholic Moral Theology in the field of bioethics in the USA.” He overlooks the fact that A. McCormick S.J. has dissented from teachings of the Popes Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI over contraception. The “renowned leader” in the Catholic Church in morality is first and foremost the pope. Since Richard A. McCormick has contradicted the popes, he cannot be a good solid Catholic theologian.
Mary Shelly lived right after the Enlightenment – man is the measure of all things. She lived at a time when people believed that science will solve all our problems. This is called scientism. ICE contends that Shelly is saying that we may be expecting too much from science. It does not mean that Shelly was saying that we should reject science. And it does not mean that Shelly believes that we should go back to the Catholic faith. In fact, ICE acknowledges that Shelly was an anti-Catholic. But the Church believes that the kernel of truth can be found in others, even in anti-Catholics. This is part of the Catholic tradition. St Augustine learned from Plato and St Aquinas learned from Aristotle. ICE would take that kernel of truth and expound that with the fullness of the Catholic faith.
You may disagree with the Catholic faith, or with ICE looking at Shelly’s book from a Catholic perspective. But this is at least as a legitimate an interpretation as any other. In fact, this interpretation seems closer to the truth than the others. This interpretation is the traditional interpretation, which means that it goes back further to Shelly’s time than the modern interpretations, and is therefore less likely to be in error.
BTW, the reviewer wrote that “Opus Dei right wing publishing (or reprint) house is selling this novel is to milk the home school market and to support its own bizarre bio-ethical ideology”. This is factually wrong. The company that publishes Opus Dei’s books is Sceptre. But the publisher of ICE is Ignatius Press.

Love the Edition and Footnotes; Don't need the Cultural Criticisms
Format: Paperback
The layout of the book and the footnotes are each great. What mars the book, unfortunately, is the editor's need to make simplistic statements about cultural elements. Several times, for example, he addresses "feminism," even using the term "Franken-feminists" in a puerile manner at one point. As too many of these conservative Catholics do, he simplifies and comments about modern culture without nuance. In this case, it is simply unprofessional and inaccurate (i) to not capture the myriad differences in feminist thought (many of which he and his readers would accept) and (ii) thereby to make all feminists the same (e.g,, assuming the feminists of the 1970's are the same as today's.) This is all unfortunate because when he is just addressing the literary elements of the book, his comments are wonderful and helpful to the reader.
Any reader should know that this presentation will be tilted in an unsophisticated and simplistic way toward a traditional Catholic view (a view that can indeed be defended well while still being careful and charitable to critics). With that caveat, he (or she) should still buy it and garner a good edition of the text.
