Philodendron 'Glorious'

Philodendron 'Glorious' is a velvet-leaved climbing hybrid made from Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron melanochrysum. It combines the broad, heart-shaped influence of gloriosum with the climbing growth of melanochrysum, producing large dark green leaves, pale veining and a soft velvety surface.

This hybrid changes noticeably when given vertical support. Young plants may spread loosely at first, but once the stem anchors to a moss pole or coir pole, the leaves usually become larger, flatter and more mature in shape. The velvety surface can show water marks, dust and physical damage clearly, so careful placement and handling matter.

Hybrid traits at a glance

  • Hybrid parentage: Philodendron gloriosum x Philodendron melanochrysum.
  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron that develops best with a tall, stable support.
  • Leaf shape: Broad to elongated heart-shaped leaves with a soft velvet texture.
  • Leaf colour: Deep green mature leaves with clear pale veining and a dark, velvety surface.
  • Indoor behaviour: Mature leaves develop best when the stem is trained upward.

How the climbing stem matures

Philodendron 'Glorious' develops from a jointed climbing stem with aerial roots at the nodes. These roots help the plant anchor and take up moisture from its support. A dry pole can hold the stem in place, but a slightly moisture-retentive support encourages stronger attachment and better mature leaf development.

New leaves emerge softer and lighter, then harden into a deeper green with stronger contrast between blade and veins. The fine surface texture gives the foliage its velvet finish, so the plant should have enough space for the leaves to open freely.

Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron melanochrysum are both wet-tropical Colombian species. Their hybrid responds well to warmth, filtered light, airy root conditions and steady moisture. Indoors, the aim is to copy the forest-edge balance: enough light for strong leaves, enough air around the roots to prevent stagnation, and enough humidity to support smooth leaf expansion.

Care for velvet Philodendron leaves

  • Light: Give bright indirect light. Gentle morning sun can be tolerated after acclimation, but harsh midday or afternoon sun can mark the velvet leaves.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the upper part of the mix dry before watering again. The plant dislikes a permanently wet root zone but also reacts poorly to long dry stretches during active growth.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco chunks, perlite or pumice and a moisture-holding organic component. The mix should drain quickly while staying lightly moist around the roots.
  • Support: Add a moss pole, coir pole or similar vertical support early. Tie the stem loosely until aerial roots attach by themselves.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity supports cleaner leaf unfurling. A humidifier or a grouped plant setup is better than wetting the leaves.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18°C, and avoid cold draughts or chilled wet substrate.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding when growth slows.
  • Repotting: Repot only when roots have filled the pot. Move up one pot size and keep the support stable during the change.

Troubleshooting velvet leaf growth

  • Small new leaves: Usually linked to weak light, lack of support or a dry pole. Move the plant brighter and train the stem onto a stable support.
  • Brown edges: Often caused by irregular watering, dry air during leaf expansion or salt build-up in the mix. Check root moisture before adjusting humidity.
  • Yellow lower leaves: One old leaf can age naturally, but several yellowing leaves suggest overwatering, poor drainage or a cold root zone.
  • Torn or stuck new leaves: Usually linked to low humidity, abrupt drying or mechanical pressure. Keep conditions steadier and avoid touching emerging leaves.
  • Pest marks: Fine speckling, dull patches or sticky residue can point to mites, thrips or scale. Inspect leaf backs, petioles and new growth closely.

Philodendron 'Glorious' benefits from enough vertical room. Repeated cutting keeps the plant smaller and delays the larger leaves that develop on a supported mature stem. For the best shape, guide the main stem upward and let each new leaf face the light.

Pet safety and handling

Philodendron 'Glorious' is not pet-safe. Like other Philodendron, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract if ingested. Sap may also irritate skin, so wash your hands after pruning or handling cut stems.

Hybrid origin and name

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family. The genus name comes from Greek elements commonly translated as “loving” and “tree”, a reference to the tree-climbing behaviour seen in many species. Philodendron 'Glorious' was created by Australian hybridiser Keith Henderson from Philodendron gloriosum x Philodendron melanochrysum; later naming is attributed to Michael “Miguel” Pascal.

On a stable support, Philodendron 'Glorious' can develop broad velvet leaves with pale veining and a darker mature surface.

Love the vibrant straps, a cute everyday bag!
This shoulder handbag is a good value for the cost. Made of good quality materials. I especially like the silver rings for attaching the longer strap, and the silky material of the straps themselves is also nice. Inside there are several zippered pockets for your keys, pens, and other items. There is also a pocket for your cellphone. I use this bag for carrying my laptop back and forth to work, and I always feel very stylish when I am wearing it. The size is perfect for carrying a laptop or notebooks and books back and forth or for carrying on luggage on a plane. My one small complaint is the length of the sewn on straps is just slightly too short. I sometimes have to bend my arms more extremely to get them through the longer, sewn-on shoulder strap.

Heavy duty, thick tote bag.
This is a pretty heavy duty canvas bag. It’s a little smaller than it looked in the ad, but it does seem very strong and put together and I think it is waterproof or water resistant so that’s useful. I can definitely see this for shopping or just like out running errands, it’s got two sets of straps are nice. You can wear it multiple ways. The quality is pretty good. Better than a lot of the bags that I’ve been getting these through Amazon.

Pretty nice little bag
Color: Black
Wasn’t sure if I would like the size of the bag as I was planning on using it as my everyday purse. Pleasantly surprised by how much can fit in it. Definitely good for travel as it will hold what you need. I would only say that the strap would benefit from having a wire in it to prevent people from just cutting it off. Other than that, it is a nice looking bag. Good size. Seems to be well put together and sturdy. Note if you are on the bigger size, the strap might not fit around you. I do have to have it fully extended to fit properly. But it is comfortable to wear and the wide strap doesn’t put too much pressure on my shoulder. I would buy again or at least from the same brand.

Can’t beat this purse/ bag
Color: Green
Nice, light weight and plenty of room for lots of stuff actually. Love the built-in card holders very convenient, durable, the locking features with the zippers, genius idea,and the green is so pretty if you’re looking for a smaller bag and everyday smaller bag that can hold all your crap (face it ladies we carry a lot of crap) this purse is absolutely beautiful and perfect. I’m actually thinking about getting one for all my work stuff instead of my backpack.

Perfect bag for everyday wear
Color: Black
This bag is perfect! It’s just the right size and not super bulky. I love all the pockets and the clip to lock it! I loved the black one so much I went back and bought it in green! It’ll be so perfect to use on our trip but also it’s a great everyday bag. It’s super light weight and comfortable to wear front or on the back.
