Philodendron gloriosum Culture

To ensure your Philodendron gloriosum thrives and displays its spectacular foliage, emulate its native rainforest environment:

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight will scorch its velvety leaves and can fade their vibrant coloration. 
• Temperature: Maintain warm, consistent temperatures, ideally between 18-27°C (65-80°F). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as it is very sensitive to cold. 
• Humidity: High humidity is crucial, ideally 60% or higher. Lower humidity will often lead to crispy leaf edges and stunted growth. 
• Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist but never soggy. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency slightly in the cooler, less active winter months.
