Feature
The Gloriosum Philodendron captivates with its distinctly prehistoric appearance. Its heart-shaped leaves have a deep green hue with silvery-green accents along the midribs and veining. This plant is also known as Philodendron Zebra due to the alternating dark and light stripes created by the veining. This self-heading Philodendron has an upright growth habit and can reach two to three feet tall when grown indoors.
Best Locations For Growing Gloriosum Philodendron
Most areas in a home are suitable for Gloriosum Philodendron. This plant prefers increased sunlight and humidity, but it is adaptable. A living room, kitchen, bedroom, or office with southern or western exposure is often a good choice. Gloriosum Philodendron is toxic to people and animals, so be careful if you have children or pets.
Gloriosum Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
Gloriosum Philodendron grows best in bright, indirect sunlight. Shield the plant from direct sunlight because it will burn the foliage. Increased sunlight helps this plant thrive and push out new leaves. Philodendrons can live in medium sunlight, but growth will be slow, and the leaves may not grow as big.
Gloriosum Philodendron Care
Plan to repot the Gloriosum Philodendron every one to two years. Slow growth or roots growing through the drainage holes in the pot indicate the plant is rootbound and needs a larger pot. Size up to a container one to two inches wider than the previous pot. Use a rich, moist, well-drained potting mix to promote new growth.
Watering Gloriosum Philodendron
Give the Gloriosum Philodendron water when the top few inches of potting mix are dry. This plant has medium water needs and prefers to dry out slightly before its next watering. Remove excess water from the saucer or cover pot to protect against overwatering. This Philodendron grows best in average to above-average humidity. Dry air will damage the foliage, but increased humidity in the air will keep the leaves lush.
Feeding Gloriosum Philodendron
Feed the Gloriosum Philodendron every couple of weeks to promote new growth. Use a balanced plant food or a nitrogen-rich formula to encourage more abundant foliage growth. Only feed plants when they are actively growing, and stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.
