Philodendron verrucosum ‘Incensi’ is a rare and exquisite tropical climbing species native to the rainforests of Ecuador, prized for its velvety, heart-shaped leaves and dramatic vein contrast. A member of the Araceae family, this exceptional variety is a collector’s dream — embodying everything that makes Philodendron verrucosum so captivating, with an added intensity of colour and texture that makes ‘Incensi’ stand out among its relatives.

The leaves are large, softly velvety, and richly coloured — deep emerald to bronze-green with bright, electric lime or golden veins. The undersides are equally mesmerising, often flushed with red or burgundy tones that contrast beautifully with the dark upper surfaces. The petioles are covered in characteristic fuzzy, bristled hairs (verrucose texture), giving the plant its name and a tactile, jungle-like appeal.

Elegant and dramatic, Philodendron verrucosum ‘Incensi’ thrives in warm, humid environments, rewarding the attentive grower with breathtaking foliage that feels alive with movement and colour.


Philodendron verrucosum ‘Incensi’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Filtered or dappled light best replicates its natural rainforest habitat. Too much direct sunlight may scorch the leaves, while too little can dull the vibrancy of its colour and slow growth.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry, and ensure excellent drainage. This variety prefers consistency — avoid both overwatering and prolonged dryness. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 20–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 16°C.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity (70–90%) to maintain velvety leaves and prevent crisping. Use a humidifier or keep in a greenhouse cabinet or terrarium for optimal results.

Soil and Potting

Use a loose, chunky, and well-draining aroid mix — peat-free compost combined with orchid bark, perlite, sphagnum moss, and coco coir works well. This mimics the plant’s natural epiphytic environment. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh nutrients and provide space for healthy root growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Avoid over-fertilising, as it can damage roots and discolour the foliage.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove any yellow or damaged leaves at the base to maintain a tidy appearance. Wipe the large leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and reveal their natural sheen. Provide a moss pole or coir totem to support its climbing growth and encourage larger, more mature leaves.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate to fast-growing climber, reaching 1–2 metres indoors with proper care. As the plant matures, the leaves become larger, more velvety, and deeply veined, developing that signature luxurious rainforest aesthetic.

Common Issues

  • Brown leaf edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Dull colouration: Insufficient light or nutrient deficiency.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, mealybugs, or spider mites — inspect regularly and maintain humidity to deter infestations.

Background and Benefits

Philodendron verrucosum originates from the cloud forests of Ecuador, where it grows as an epiphyte, climbing trees in humid, shaded environments. The ‘Incensi’ variety is especially prized for its intensified colouration, velvety texture, and red-tinged leaf undersides.

This plant has achieved near-legendary status among collectors due to its dramatic foliage, tactile stems, and exotic beauty. It thrives best in conditions that replicate its native jungle environment — warmth, moisture, and filtered light.

Like all Philodendrons, it’s also known for its air-purifying qualities, helping improve indoor air while transforming living spaces into lush, tropical sanctuaries.

Good shelf to upgrade my awkward kitchen!
Size: 42 inch 2 Tier
This shelf is exactly what I was looking for for my awkward kitchen in my new house. Don't mind the plywood walls (who knows what the previous owners were thinking 🤣) but anyways, we had this awkward gap between the kitchen counters and the stove, so I got a stainless steel shelf to fill the gap and add some more counterspace, and I found this industrial style pipe shelving, which was the perfect size and height to fit in this gap on the wall and give us more storage/organization space. It's easy to assemble and hang up, and seems very strong and sturdy. It's a little heavy, but lightweight enough to hang easily. Right out of the box, it was disappointing to see some scuffs in the black paint on the piping, especially for the price. Luckily, the biggest scuff is in a pretty inconspicuous space so it's not a big deal. Definitely not worth returning to see if another one wouldn't have any scuffs (especially since many of the other reviews mentioned scuffs too). It's wabi sabi I suppose 😅 Also, not a single extra screw or hardware was included. Not a big deal, but screws are cheap enough to through in one extra just in case one is missing or lost. Overall, mostly happy with the purchase. The wood is solid and the shelf looks nice in my kicthen!

Easy to put together. A little bit too heavy for Sheetrock. I had to use some bigger screws. I love the look with my cabinet.

Waiting on the Lord is throughout the Bible. Learn how.
Format: Paperback
This is a must-read, like "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers, "Let Go" by Fenelon or " Your Only Comfort - Devotions for Hope in Suffering" by Charles Spurgeon. Learn to rest, wait, and trust in the Lord for answers.

In Your Season of Waiting? Give it a Chance.
Format: Paperback
I chose to read this book for a book club, as my university now has book clubs. This book is very insightful when it comes to the concept of waiting - as many of us struggle with waiting, and the seasons of waiting we experience. Whether we are religions or not - there are many nuggets of wisdom, and moments of inspiration we can gain from reading this author's book. His journey is also relational in one way or another to many of us. While I have my own religious and spiritual beliefs, however different than the authors, there were will nuggets of wisdom and insight that were helpful to me, as I am in my long season of waiting, and even suffering due to injury/disability/accident, so I was drawn to this book for a book club study, and it did bring a great deal of insight from one human being to another, and in a book study environment, it brought a lot of enrichment, engagement, dialogue, smiles, laughter, connection, depth, relation, etc. It helps you realize that it's very relational, very rich and provides great depth, no matter your beliefs, no matter what part of your journey you are in, and that you're not alone, and that this book can be helpful, and that it's not full of nonsense, it's full of practical guidance and wisdom. I recommend it.
