Created in the 1970s, the Philodendron Glorious is a hybrid plant that has quickly gained popularity. Easy to identify with its large, heart-shaped leaves that are velvety to the touch, it’s an excellent plant for beginners and experts! You’ll also notice white veins throughout the plant’s leaves, and it is quite the climber in the right conditions.
How to Care for the Plant

Water

Once or twice a week in the summer will be sufficient for this plant. Winter months can slow down to once a week. You can always check your plant’s soil for dryness and provide water if the top 2 inches (0.050m) are dry.

Pruning

While it is not necessary to prune this plant, you can remove dead and old leaves to help keep it looking tip-top and clear the way for new growth.

Fertilizer

During the spring, summer, and fall, provide a diluted, nitrogen-rich fertilizer once a month to keep your Glorious happy.

Sunlight

Bright, indirect light is ideal for this plant. While it can handle direct sunlight for a short time, too much sun will burn the leaves or turn them yellow. A sunny room with shade from other plants or objects works best!

Soil

Like most Philodendron plants, the Glorious wants a well-draining soil that will remain moist but not soggy. This plant is prone to root rot, so be sure not to over-water!

Propagation

A cutting with leaves and roots placed in a new pot will sprout new roots within a few weeks.

Temperature

The Glorious loves 60-80% humidity and 65-85°F (18-28°C) temperatures. The humidity should be warm and damp but never saturating, as this can invite plant diseases to visit your Glorious.

Container

A large pot will do well until this plant matures. Make sure there are plenty of drainage holes, and repot the plant when it has outgrown its current pot.

Fun fact

The Philodendron Glorious is a hybrid cross between Philodendron Gloriosum and Melanochrysum.
