Philodendron 'Summer Glory'

Foliage that looks like luxury fabric — with colour that deepens beautifully 🍃

Family: Araceae • Pot diameter: 17 cm • Height: ~40 cm

Araceae Evergreen Light: bright indirect Care: easy Compact

Philodendron 'Summer Glory' is made for anyone who wants a Philodendron with a deeper, moodier character and serious decorative impact. Its large, heart-shaped leaves have a rich, almost velvety look (without being fuzzy), with tones that shift from deep green into warm, darker hues that feel instantly premium in a bright room. The plant reads as clean and architectural: it fills the space without looking unruly, fits beautifully in modern homes and offices, and works as a statement plant that doesn’t need a crowd around it. If you’re after something refined, collector-feeling and consistently impressive all year, ‘Summer Glory’ is a top-tier pick.

Light

🌤️ Indirect
Good light brings out the depth of the foliage.

Watering

💧 Moderate
When the top of the mix has dried out.

Humidity

🌫️ Medium
Steadier humidity = fuller, calmer leaves.

Growth

📈 Steady
With a good routine, it pushes gorgeous new leaves.

What makes it special

  • 🍃 Large, heart-shaped leaves with rich texture and deep colour.
  • 🖼️ An architectural presence that looks premium in any room.
  • 🪴 A compact, tidy habit — full and balanced, not messy.

Best uses

  • 🏡 In a living room or entryway as statement greenery.
  • 🧑💻 In an office for “quiet luxury” with bold foliage.
  • 🪟 Near a window with filtered light to keep it at its best.

Where to place it

Choose a bright spot with indirect light, away from harsh direct sun that can toughen or fade the foliage. It’s ideal for interiors where you want to add depth to a green corner without filling the room with lots of plants.

Plants it pairs well with

  • With lighter green plants to create contrast and “breathing room”.
  • With fine-textured foliage so its leaves read more sculptural.
  • With neutral pots (white/beige/matte black) to emphasise the leaf depth.

Design goal: deep, dark foliage as the focal point, with calmer companions around it.

Variety origin click to read

Taxonomic basis: The genus Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and includes a wide range of growth forms, from compact rosettes to climbers. Most species originate from tropical regions of Central and South America.

Habitat & distribution: The wild ancestors behind cultivated Philodendrons evolved under forest canopies, thriving in dappled light — which explains their comfort in bright indoor environments with indirect light.

Naming (etymology): The name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning “lover of trees”, reflecting the natural tendency of many species to grow near trunks and supports.

Selection & propagation: 'Summer Glory' is a cultivated variety selected for its strong ornamental value and deep, rich foliage tones. It is produced vegetatively in nurseries so its defining traits remain consistent from plant to plant.

1) Keep it steady: Pick a bright spot with indirect light and let it settle there for the fullest, most balanced look.
2) Watering rhythm: Water when the top of the mix dries, and never let water sit in a saucer or outer pot.
3) Leaf care: A gentle wipe keeps the leaves clean and makes the texture and colour depth really pop.

  • 🧬 Many Philodendrons contain calcium oxalate crystals (raphides) as a defence — which is why ingestion can cause irritation.
  • 🌿 “Deep colour” is a mix of pigments and how light reflects off the leaf surface micro-structure.
  • 🧫 Leaf anatomy is tuned for efficient photosynthesis in filtered light, like a tropical understory.
  • 📈 Cultivar consistency is maintained through vegetative (asexual) propagation in nursery production.
What light does it need? light

Bright indirect light. In very low light the colour can look calmer and new leaves may appear less frequently.

Excellent Epson, worth the investment!
Style: ET-5800, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
First, this is a big printer so double check the measurement specs before purchasing if space is an issue. First impressions: very well built, especially comparing to ET versions such as the ET-4800 ( see my review on that one for details). This is a sturdy printer, you can feel it when you lift the scanning bed, pull out the paper trays, etc. Printing quality: excellent right out of the box. I didn’t need to do an extensive alignment or cleaning during setup, everything printed perfectly and was photo quality. Setup was easy. Although it has a fax feature, I don’t use that so I didn’t need to set it up. Printing: using the rear paper trays, it prints on 100lb card stock very easily. I recommend only loading a few pages at a time to avoid any issues. I loaded 5 pages and made prints without any issues. 65 lb card stock was also easy to print on using the back paper feed tray and I loaded 8 sheets without an issue but know it could probably handle a few more. Just remember that the thicker the paper the more chance of having it jam with multiple sheets in the rear paper try. AND, only use the rear tray feed for cardstock or other thick paper. The actual paper tray drawers, there are two and you can set them up for different sizes and types of paper, very convenient. Now the cool detail: most printers have a flimsy plastic slide tray to catch the prints as they come out of the printer. Not this one. This has a really amazing tray catch that comes out of the printer automatically (it is motorized), and when you are done there is a little illuminated icon on the screen that looks like the printer, you press it and the tray retracts. Pretty cool detail. The screen: very easy to use and you can actually see it, unlike the postage stamp size screen they used in the ET-4800. All features are very easy to find and select and the icons are illuminated. Using this screen, setup was very easy. Ink: again a very good feature and very well thought out. The bottles are keyed so they fit in the receptacle. Simply unscrew the cap, tip them over (they won’t spill or leak) and place them in the correct color, the bottles automatically fill the tank. When done filling, remove the bottle and put the cap back on, again they won’t spill or leak because they have a mechanism that prevents it from doing so. Overall: excellent printer, expensive but over time the ink savings alone help ease the sticker price. It is heavy and sturdy, has wireless capability so you can put it anywhere and print with ease connected to your wireless network, has the ability to print from android and IPhone with an app, and it has amazing prints. This is one printer I highly recommend.

No more expensive ink cartridges
Style: ET-5800, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
Great printer. I am sick and tired of HP giving me problems with their ink cartridges. I discarded my HP office Jet and replaced it with this Epson printer. Easy to set up. Came with two sets of ink bottles. Easy and clean to fill tanks with ink. The screen on my old HP Office Jet printer was so small and difficult to use. This Epson printer has a very large LCD screen which can tilt if you want and very easy to use. Separate paper trays for letter and legal or other sizes. Print, scan and fax. Connect via cable or WiFi. I wish I had purchased this sooner.

Error handling is extremely poor
Style: ET-5800, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
This printer will throw errors even though things are working. Some examples are: 1) Printing from an Apple device you will get a “printer busy“ error, even though the print goes through. 2) When connecting to Wi-Fi, the printer will send a “password incorrect” error message, even though it connects to the Wi-Fi. 3) The windows desktop application cannot find the printer, even though you can print to it from that same machine. When calling Epson for Support, you will find people who insist you do things like go through the WPS procedure even though you tell them your router does not support WPS. You will be forced to go through steps until they say something like “now press the WPS button on the router“ when they will agree with you that your router does not support WPS. They will also take you a very long way to get to a ping command because that is what their documentation tells them to do, even if you’re well aware of how to start a ping in a much quicker way. Print quality and speed seem to be very good but, at this price point, the error handling issues and lack of adequate support are unacceptable. The result in a lot of frustration, wasted time and wasted paper/ink.

Very nice and fast printer, but some info...
Style: ET-5850, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
The printer is nice and very fast printing regular documents in color or black and white. Printing photos is slower but still pretty faster than other printers I have seen. The model I purchased was the ET-5850, it came with 2 sets of full size ink bottles. When you set up the printer one set will fill the tanks. You think run through setup on the display and it will take 9 minutes to prime the system. This is initially getting the ink from the tanks to fill the empty tubes to the print heads. When this is done (takes 9 minutes) the tanks will be ½ full. Good thing you have the second set. The size in the images shows the depth of the printer to be 31 inches, it's not, it's about 19 inches with the back tray closed and the output tray retracted. Installing the driver way very simple. I did not use the driver disc as I'm running the latest OS on my computers. My Mac's all found the printer and set them up. (Note: I run in dark mode on my computers and when the driver installs it as the back version of the printer for the icon we is very hard to see in dark mode. I was able to change it to the image that matched the color my printer, but that takes some under the hood tinkering.) Both of my Windows computers also found and set up the printers without any issue. You can also set up an email address for your printer that people can email you documents to it. The Epson website gives you a lot of control over this. You can change to a custom name before the @ in the address or use the random one they picked. You can also limit who can send to your printer. That is something that I liked on my old HP this one replaced. Two items that I think they need to fix: The output tray comes out automatically when you start to print. It does not retract automatically, there is a symbol on the control panel that you tap to get it to retract. They should have made it so that when you take what was printed that it automatically retracts as it sticks out pretty far. The web interface isn't great. If you have ever used the web interface for a commercial copier, then you know what I mean. For example, when putting in contacts for faxing/scanning/emailing, the interface doesn't allow you to put in email addresses. There is an option to select the type of contact, fax, email, etc, but if doesn't give you a box to put in the email address. If you add the entry on the display for the device its self then you can put in the email. You can then go back to the web interface and edit the entry and the email address. Crazy right. Luckily I didn't have many to put in. If they could five those two items I would give it 5 stars. I'm going to email Epson my thoughts and see what happens.

Really Great Printer!
Style: ET-5880, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
I purchased the Epson ET-5880 for our small office to fulfill our need for a good color printer. I read a number of a reviews about the printer before making the purchase. Most were positive, so I went ahead and ordered the printer. I'm very pleased with this printer. I had no problem connecting it to our network. Installing the drivers on four computers was easy as well. I should note that the printer comes with a CD for installation, but I chose to use the NEWER drivers that were on Epson's website instead. You should do that as well. Filling the ink tanks on the printer was very simple. Not so much as a drop of ink was spilled. The ink bottles are keyed so that one cannot put the wrong color ink in a tank no intended for that color. Once filled, the unit goes through a charging process (Epson's term) to get ink to the print heads. Yes, it uses a little ink, but Epson also supplied a second set of ink bottles so that the ink tanks are full after the charging process. The printing is very fast, yielding high quality print. I suggest using 22 or 24 pound paper, especially if printing on both sides of the paper. I was particularly interested in seeing how this printer would handle scanning. I do a lot of two-sided scanning. The scanning software, SCAN 2 and SCANSMART, both worked well. SCAN 2 gives the user lots of options, but might be overwhelming to a newer user. The SCANSMART software is more visual and gives the user enough features to adjust and/or crop images as needed. The software does provide the option of creating a searchable PDF file, which is something I like as I deal in contract documents. Of course, one can print from a cell phone or tablet if desired. There's even a remote print feature where one can print via email from anywhere where there's an Internet connection. Overall, I'm pleased with this printer. It's not inexpensive, but it will easily meet the needs of a small office.
