Philodendron gigas

Philodendron gigas is a Panamanian climbing Philodendron whose juvenile and mature leaves can look noticeably different. Young plants usually show smaller, deep green, velutinous leaves. Mature plants can produce much larger ovate to narrowly ovate blades on long petioles, with fresh leaves sometimes opening bronze or coppery before hardening darker.

This species grows as a wet-forest liana in Panama. Its appressed-climbing stems have short, thick internodes, semi-persistent cataphylls and velvety, moderately leathery leaf blades. Young plants stay smaller at first, then open up as the stem attaches and adult foliage develops.

Philodendron gigas juvenile and mature leaf traits

  • Juvenile leaves: Young plants usually carry smaller, dark green, velvety leaves before the adult shape develops.
  • Mature blades: Adult plants can develop larger ovate to narrowly ovate leaves with a matte upper surface.
  • Petioles: Long, near-round petioles carry the larger adult leaves away from the climbing stem.
  • Growth habit: An appressed-climbing stem benefits from a pole, plank or rough vertical surface.

How Philodendron gigas develops with age

Philodendron gigas can look restrained when young because the juvenile leaves have not yet reached their adult size or shape. As the plant matures, the blades lengthen, the velvety surface becomes more pronounced and the petioles create a more open climbing outline.

Young stems can be less firmly attached until aerial roots find a suitable surface. A moss pole, plank or rough support gives those roots a place to anchor and helps the plant carry its larger foliage more steadily.

Care for Philodendron gigas as a velvet liana

  • Support: Add a pole or board early so aerial roots can attach as the stem lengthens.
  • Light: Place in bright indirect light; too much direct sun can mark the velvety leaf surface.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new velvet leaves expand with fewer stuck edges.
  • Watering: Water after the upper 25–30% of the mix has dried, keeping the root zone evenly moist but airy.
  • Substrate: Use bark, coco chips, perlite and a moisture-holding base for drainage with some even moisture.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 19–28 °C, and protect from cold windows in winter.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser during active growth to support larger leaves and steady stem extension.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and repot when roots have filled the container or the climbing support becomes unstable.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one viable node; single leaves without a node will not produce a new plant.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten the vine or redirect growth, and remove damaged leaves without rubbing the velvety surface.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to mineral substrates such as pon, pumice, lava or LECA if transitioned carefully and kept evenly moist but well aerated.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate indoors, with larger leaves developing once the stem is warm, rooted and firmly supported.

Philodendron gigas velvet leaf issues

  • Stuck new leaves: Raise humidity and check that the plant is not drying out heavily between waterings.
  • Undersized adult leaves: Check whether the stem has firm support, enough light and active roots.
  • Leaf edge crisping: Look for dry air, irregular watering or heat stress near radiators.
  • Dull or marked leaf surface: Avoid rough wiping, check for pest activity and let dust lift gently with airflow or a soft brush.
  • Pests: Check petioles, leaf undersides and new growth for spider mites, thrips, mealybugs or scale.

Pet safety for Philodendron gigas

Philodendron gigas is toxic if ingested because the tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it out of reach of pets, especially while new leaves and aerial roots are easy to bite.

Philodendron gigas species background and etymology

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, reflecting the tree-climbing habit common in the genus. Philodendron gigas was described by Thomas B. Croat and published in Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1997. The epithet gigas means giant. Mature plants can develop large leaves once the stem climbs and settles into adult growth.

Order Philodendron gigas for a Panamanian velvet climber that develops from compact juvenile leaves into large matte adult foliage.

Best Phone Mount EVER!
I searched the Toyota forums and consistently saw this item mentioned as one that would not move on bump roads or even over time on smooth roads. It is the best and must secure mount I have ever used. It fits perfectly on was designed not to obscure the view. I have recommended this brand to everyone that I have talked to about mounts since I got. Very easy to install also!

Best MagSafe charging station on the market!!!
Color: Phantom Gray, Color: Phantom Gray
This is by far the best MagSafe charger I’ve ever owned. I will say it’s the best one on the market right now. It offers true MagSafe charging speeds at the maximum wattage for MagSafe. I know it’s a bit expensive but you get such a nice looking product that looks modern and has all the features you want. I have owned other high end MagSafe chargers from Belkin and Apple but this one puts them to shame. There’s a fan inside MagSafe charging unit that keeps your phone at the optimal temperature without losing any functionality. The magnetic strength is perfect and the magnetic head is adjustable up and down for the perfect viewing angles. Obviously this is meant for the Apple iPhone 12 and up but with iPhone 16 Pro and up you get the full maximum MagSafe wattage of 25W. Still with any MagSafe iPhone you get max wattage of 20W. If you don’t own an iPhone then this device really isn’t for you and I would suggest looking into a different charging device. I’m totally satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone who has a MagSafe compatible Apple iPhone, Watch and/or AirPods.

Anker is $$$ but, sleek quality products.
Color: Phantom Gray
The price is steep for sure, snag one used or if listed on sale. Solid unit, functionality is on point. Keeps phone cool, charges quick, and cooling system is very quiet. Cord is braided, 5ft. The unit doesn’t have enough weight or grip to hold itself in place when removing your phone, needs kind of a peel motion or support when pulling off your phone. Otherwise, the head swivels to adjust viewing angle.

Works great with iPhone 17
Color: Phantom Gray
Excellent product. It may seem a bit pricey, but it’s definitely worth it. The magnet is strong enough to hold the phone securely, even with a lower-quality case. I’ve been using it for about six months with an iPhone 17 Pro and an Apple Watch, and it works great. The size is just right, and it operates very quietly compared to similar products. The base is sturdy enough to handle accidental bumps when placing or removing the phone, especially at night. The functionality is solid, and the different charging modes are very useful if you need faster charging. Overall, it’s worth the price, and I definitely recommend it.

A whole lotta charger for the price
Color: Phantom Gray
Let’s get this out of the way first: the Anker Prime MagSafe Charger is one of the most expensive, if not the most expensive, 3-in-1 wireless chargers out there. You can find plenty of cheaper options, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and there’s a lot here that justifies the price. The standout feature is Qi 2.2 25W charging. You’ll pay extra for faster charging, but this is one of the few chargers that gives you multiple charging modes (Boost, Ice, and Sleep) depending on your needs. The Ice mode, which keeps your phone cool while charging, is a big deal for long-term battery health, especially if you tend to keep your phone for a few years. The built-in Apple Watch charger supports fast charging, too. My older Belkin 3-in-1 was fine for the first wave of Apple Watches that supported fast charging (Series 7), but slow with my Ultra 2 and 3. I have verified this one charges at 5W, which makes a noticeable difference. It also handles AirPods charging without issue, no slowdowns or inconsistency so far. You can customize settings through the touchscreen, though it’s not very responsive. I recommend downloading the Anker app, pairing it via Bluetooth, and running a firmware update. The app makes adjustments much easier than using the on-device controls. Overall, I’m not sure I’d pay full retail for it, but if you catch it on sale, grab it. It’s a premium charger that feels built to last for years.
