Philodendron gloriosum ‘Zebra’, or Zebra Philodendron, is highly desirable for its bright, silvery-white, pronounced veins on large, heart-shaped, velvety-green leaves.  When this aroid is grown in its native environment as an understory tropical terrestrial plant, its rhizome prefers crawling across forest floors rather than climbing. It can reach up to 3 ft tall and 6 ft wide in its native environment. Zebra Philodendron is a relatively slow grower, so be patient because once it unfurls its stunning leaves, this head-turner will not disappoint. 

Best Locations For Growing Zebra Philodendron 

Zebra Philodendron prefers a bright, warm spot in your home and does not tolerate low light or chilly environments. Keep room temperatures comfortable, above 60 degrees F, and avoid cold, drafty areas or sudden temperature fluctuations. This plant also requires higher humidity, at 60 - 80% levels.

Zebra Philodendron Sunlight Requirements

Zebra Philodendron loves a bright space with plenty of indirect light. Keep it away from direct sunlight as this can cause the velvety foliage to burn. 

Zebra Philodendron Care

Plant it in a loose, chunky, specialty aroid potting mix that allows excess water to easily flow out of the bottom of the pot. Keep the soil pH over 7.0. When potting, be sure the rhizome is not completely buried under the soil, and the upper half of the rhizome remains exposed. Your Zebra Philodendron won’t need much maintenance other than the occasional removal of dried leaves. 

Watering Zebra Philodendron 

Zebra Philodendron prefers to be kept moist; water after the top inch of soil is dry. Water thoroughly, allowing water to exit through drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Avoid watering or splashing water directly on the leaves–water only the soil. Provide ample humidity. If you notice brown leaf edges or improperly developed new leaves, the environment probably lacks enough humidity. 

Feeding Zebra Philodendron 

Apply a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer at half the recommended strength about once a month during the spring and summer growing seasons.
