Philodendron Gloriosum
Philodendron Gloriosum
Velvet heart-shaped leaves with luminous white veins - I'm the Philodendron Gloriosum, and I feel as expensive as I look. Here's my quirk: I don't climb. While my cousins scramble up poles, I crawl sideways along the soil on a thick rhizome, unfurling ever-bigger hearts as I go. Horizontal ambition.
From the rainforest floors of Colombia, I like bright indirect light, high-ish humidity, and soil kept lightly moist. Pro tip for later: when I outgrow my pot, choose a wide one over a deep one - I expand like a novel, left to right.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Small - 90mm nursery pot, approx 10-20cm - a collector's baby in its original grower's pot
Pets: velvet is for petting plants, not pet snacking - toxic if chewed.
Dial in my watering with a Moisture Meter and give me a Micro Pot in Black plinth while I'm small.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Feeding your indoor plants
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
We take great care in growing, packaging, and shipping your new plants so they’re ready to thrive in your home. This includes keeping them safe while they travel from our wholesale nursery to your doorstep.
