Philodendron Splendid — Rare Velvet Leaf Hybrid (verrucosum × melanochrysum)

The Philodendron Splendid is a testament to horticultural artistry — a hybrid that masterfully combines the best attributes of its parentage: the iridescent, velvety sheen of Philodendron melanochrysum and the distinct, textured petioles of Philodendron verrucosum. Each emergent leaf unfurls in a deep, jewel-toned green with prominent, pale venation, maturing into a spectacular heart-shaped blade that can reach impressive dimensions when allowed to climb.

Care Requirements

  • Temperature: Stable ambient conditions between 18–24°C; avoid draughts and sudden drops typical of European winters.
  • Humidity: Non-negotiable at 70–85%; a greenhouse cabinet or vivarium is ideal.
  • Light: Bright, indirect light mimicking the dappled light of its ancestral rainforest floor — never direct sun.
  • Substrate: A bespoke soilless aroid mix to ensure optimal root aeration and prevent waterlogging, critical for this sensitive hybrid.
  • Fertilising: During the active growth period (March–September), a balanced fertiliser diluted to half-strength every third watering supports robust foliar development.
  • Support: Provide a moss pole or coir totem to encourage climbing and promote larger, more defined mature leaf morphology.

FAQ

How can I encourage mature leaf morphology in Philodendron Splendid?

To promote larger, more defined leaves, provide a moss pole or coir totem for climbing, mimicking its natural hemiepiphytic growth. Maintain high humidity (70–85%) and bright, indirect light (approx. 1,000–2,000 foot-candles). A feeding regimen with a balanced liquid fertiliser including micronutrients, every 2–4 weeks during the active growing season (spring through late summer), is crucial for mature expression.

What is the ideal substrate composition for a mature Philodendron Splendid?

A chunky, well-aerated aroid mix is critical to prevent root hypoxia and subsequent rot. We recommend a soilless blend: 40% orchid bark, 20% perlite, 20% coco husk chips, 10% sphagnum moss, and 10% activated charcoal. This composition ensures excellent drainage and gas exchange while retaining adequate moisture for the root system.

Is Philodendron Splendid susceptible to specific pests under European indoor conditions?

Yes. Its velvety leaves are particularly attractive to spider mites (Tetranychidae), especially in lower humidity environments (<60%). Regular inspection of leaf undersides is advised. Thrips are also a known pest. Proactive integrated pest management (IPM) using beneficial insects like Amblyseius swirskii or horticultural oil applications during warmer months is an effective preventative measure.

Great little bag full of sunscreen for my grandson. Glad we had it to take it everywhere with us. A little pricey but he needs it so instead of taking bunches of bottles we had this.

Sunscreen is great, I would t recommend the chapstick
Style: Original
Sun Bum is hands down the best sunscreen I’ve ever used. It smells incredible, like a tropical vacation with that perfect coconut scent. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave you feeling sticky or greasy, and actually works! As long as I reapply every few hours, I don’t get burned, which is more than I can say for most other sunscreens I’ve tried. The face stick is good, goes on easily, but is a little greasy feeling. I do not like the chapstick, I can’t keep the taste of it out of my mouth and I feel like you have to put it on again and again.
