Philodendron gloriosum dark form

Philodendron gloriosum dark form has the crawling stem of Philodendron gloriosum, with deeper mature leaf colour. New leaves open soft and velvety, then harden into dark green, heart-shaped blades with pale veins across the surface. The contrast becomes clearer as each leaf firms after unfurling.

The surface-running stem continues forward across the substrate and should stay visible at the surface. A broad container, an airy mix and open space ahead of the active tip help the plant produce new leaves without the stem pressing against the pot edge.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form leaf colour

  • Leaf colour: Mature leaves develop a deep green tone across the velvety blade.
  • Vein contrast: Pale veins stand out clearly against the darker mature leaf surface.
  • Growth habit: The creeping stem travels across the substrate and needs room at the growing tip.
  • Leaf development: New blades open soft, then firm gradually as the surface hardens.
  • Family: Araceae.

How Philodendron gloriosum dark form develops across the pot

New leaves show the colour change clearly as they harden, with the surface becoming darker and the pale veins more defined. Each leaf emerges from the creeping stem and firms gradually after unfurling. The active tip should have open substrate ahead of it so new growth can continue in its natural direction.

A broad container gives the creeping stem room to move forward. The stem should sit at the surface, with roots growing below it in a loose, airy mix. This setup reduces rot risk around the stem and gives the plant enough space to build larger leaves.

Care for Philodendron gloriosum dark form

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light to support steady growth and compact petioles.
  • Cleaning: Dust leaves gently with a soft cloth; rough wiping can mark the velvety surface.
  • Stem position: Keep the creeping stem visible at the surface and avoid piling wet mix over it.
  • Substrate: Use bark, perlite, coco chips and a light organic base for an open root zone.
  • Watering: Let the top 25–35% of the pot dry before watering again, then drain thoroughly.
  • Temperature: Keep warm at 18–28°C and protect the root zone from cold draughts.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves open with fewer stuck tips or torn edges.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser diluted below full strength.
  • Repotting: Repot when the creeping stem reaches the pot edge or the roots have filled the container.
  • Propagation: Stem sections with at least one node can root in a warm, humid setup.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base and clear old, wet cataphyll material from the stem surface.
  • Mineral substrates: It can adapt to airy semi-hydro or mineral substrates if the creeping stem stays above the wet zone.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form issues

  • Brown leaf patches: Check for direct sun, water sitting on leaves or physical rubbing against nearby plants.
  • Pale, stretched growth: Move to brighter indirect light and check that the plant is not shaded by taller plants.
  • Stem rot: Improve airflow around the creeping stem and reduce moisture at the surface.
  • Stuck leaf tips: Raise humidity around new growth and avoid irregular drying while a leaf is unfurling.
  • Pests: Check the undersides of leaves and petiole bases for thrips, spider mites and mealybugs.
  • Yellow leaves: Usually point to heavy substrate, overwatering or a root zone that stays wet for too long.

Pet safety for Philodendron gloriosum dark form

Philodendron gloriosum dark form contains calcium oxalate crystals. Ingestion can irritate the mouth and digestive tract, so keep the plant away from pets that chew leaves.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form botanical background

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, a reference to climbing growth in many members of the genus. The base species Philodendron gloriosum was described by Édouard André and published in Illustration Horticole in 1876. The epithet gloriosum means glorious or splendid. In cultivation, the dark form name is used for plants with a deeper mature leaf colour than the typical green form.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form brings the species’ low crawling growth together with darker velvet leaves and pale, defined venation.

BEST? (the "R" is for relative)
I have, to date, tried four different Retinol serums (usually containing hyaluronic acid). Each of these has been in a similar price range and none of them qualifies as high-end pricing. From what I can tell each of them is as effective as the other and none of them produces "miracle elixir" results. Like most maintenance products they are only truly effective through consistent long-term use. Seeing that I have found each of the brands I have tried to be equally effective I believe it is fair to say that this brand of Retinol serum is acceptable. However, this 1 oz. bottle is one of the higher priced brands I have tried and the bottle was almost half empty when I received it. It is also perfumed and thicker than other versions and therefore harder to measure effectively (one drop is almost sufficient but two drops is too much). When you reach the bottom of the bottle, like with most of the other brands I have tried, it is impossible to get the last quarter inch of product out of the bottle using the dropper. The syringe is not long enough or flexible enough. What I have been doing is either adding a few drops of water or a few drops of Vitamin C serum to liquefy the balance so it can be shaken out onto your finger. Although use of water will obviously dilute the serum it at least allows you to use all of the product, which is a compromise I am willing to make. As recommended by most Retinol serum brands, and vice versa, I have been applying Vitamin C serum after using it. However I am not convinced that use of both products is really necessary, i.e., Retinol serum combined with a Vitamin C serum. The only sources I see strongly promoting the advantage of using both are the sources that are selling both. As someone commented in response to my initial post (which I have modified since I wish to be accurate), Retinol is not hyaluronic acid. However many Retinol products contain hyaluronic acid which is what caused my confusion. "Skin care products with hyaluronic acid are most frequently used to treat wrinkled skin although they don't replace anything the body has naturally lost. These are very effective moisturizers." Retinol is made from vitamin A, and it's in many non-prescription skin care products. Retinol's stronger counterpart is tretinoin, which is the active ingredient in Retin-A and Renova, available by prescription only. If your skin is too sensitive to use Retin-A, Retinol is an alternative, although the effects are less impressive. Retinol may improve mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, and skin tone and color." (Both quotes excerpted from WebMD.) "Retinol is photosensitive and should only be worn at night. Never go outside or into the sunlight with it on; this could cause adverse effects." (Huffington Post quote) (Using a sunscreen is strongly recommended by many sources because retinoid products cause increased photosensitivity.) Having researched this a bit more I feel certain that I can stop using Retinol serums altogether since my dermatologist prescribes a stronger product for evening use. I will ask him about this the next time I see him, though. He already advocates use of a Vitamin C serum but has never commented on the benefits of using it in combination with a Retinol product. However, since Retinol is photosensitive I believe eliminating it would be okay and probably to my benefit since sunscreens wear off after a while and need to be reapplied. If he advises on this subject in any way I believe might be helpful to others I will add it to my post.

YOU CANT ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, BUT THIS PRODUCT DEFINITELY DELIVERS. GLAD I PURCHASED IT.
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using a $49 bottle of retinol serum and found this to be just as effective and at a much lower cost. I could tell a difference in my skin in approximately 4-5 days. I can't smell any scents or fragrances and that's a plus for me. I thought it would stay greasy on my face, but it dried within 1-2 minutes. I'll definitely order again.

The Safe Sunscreen You've Been Searching For!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
5/5, 10/10, search no longer for the perfect sunscreen, you have found it! If you know someone fair skinned who will burn in the sun while swimming, this sunscreen keeps you covered. If you are at the waterpark, just reapply as noted on the tube. This sunscreen smells amazing and keeps you from burning. The lotion isn't too thick or watery, it is just the right consistency. You will not be disappointed with this sunscreen and bonus, it is reef safe so it is environmentally friendly. I have been buying this sunscreen for years and years and will buy it again this summer!
