Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra' - Unique Care Tips and Information
Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra' is a remarkable variety of the beloved Philodendron gloriosum, celebrated for its striking venation patterns. What makes this plant stand out is the bold contrast between its deep green velvety leaves and the primary and secondary veins, creating a unique, almost zebra-like appearance. As a creeping aroid, this plant is perfect for those seeking to create a lush, spreading look in their home or terrarium. Its velutinous leaves and creeping growth habit give it an eye-catching presence in any plant collection.
Key Features of Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra'
- Bold Veining: Unlike other varieties, 'Zebra' boasts prominent primary and secondary veins that form a striking graphic pattern against the dark green leaves.
- Velvety Foliage: The soft, velvety texture of the leaves not only enhances its visual appeal but also adds a tactile element.
- Repent Growth: This plant grows in a creeping manner, ideal for wide containers or as a terrarium ground cover, allowing it to spread and showcase its beauty.
- Colorful Petioles: The petioles transition from green at the base to a reddish hue near the veins, featuring white longitudinal striations that add to its stunning appearance.
- Unique Leaf Shape: The leaves are cordate-ovate, thinly herbaceous with a dark green upper side and paler undersides. The reddish margins and contrasting pale midribs provide an extra layer of visual interest.
How to Care for Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra'
Taking care of your Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra' is straightforward, as long as you follow some simple guidelines.
- Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect light to keep the venation vibrant. The plant can tolerate lower light, but too little light may dull the striking contrast of its veins. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
- Watering Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but allow the top few centimeters to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
- Humidity Preferences: This plant loves humidity levels of 60% or higher. Using a humidifier can help maintain the right conditions, but avoid misting or using pebble trays.
- Ideal Temperature Range: 18-27°C is best. Ensure it’s protected from cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C, which can slow growth or damage the leaves.
- Soil and Repotting: A well-draining, peat-free mix with perlite or orchid bark will keep the roots healthy. Repot every 2-3 years.
- Feeding Schedule: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
- Pruning and Pest Control: Remove damaged or yellowing leaves as needed. Check for pests like spider mites and aphids, treating with insecticidal soap if needed.
Common Issues and Solutions for Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra'
- Root Rot: Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot. Ensure the soil has good drainage and reduce watering frequency if necessary.
- Pests: Spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs may infest the plant. Use insecticidal soap to treat any outbreaks promptly.
- Leaf Scorching: If you notice brown spots or scorching, move the plant to an area with less direct sunlight.
- Yellowing Leaves: This could indicate overwatering or a nutrient deficiency.
Origin of the Name: Philodendron gloriosum 'Zebra'
The name "Philodendron" derives from the Greek words "philo" (love) and "dendron" (tree), reflecting the plant’s climbing or creeping tendencies. "Gloriosum" refers to its glorious, eye-catching appearance, while the 'Zebra' designation highlights the bold venation pattern that sets this variety apart.

MUFON vs. Stephen Greer
Format: Paperback
How it relates- this book was once sold (now out of stock) by mufon on their website- out of the many books that could've been chosen.
I see a lengthy review by an obvious Stephen Greer fan. I, too, have seen his films. I was also once a member of Mufon in which paying that membership fee allowed me the extra little bit of privilege to attend web seminars/ community zoom meetings.
I participated in some of these meetings to fully feel and understand what I was paying for, honestly.
I joined mufon as a Stephen Greer fan myself so I was excited to use the opportunity to ask others of their thoughts about him and his films during one of these meetings. What I got was silence and if anything, a slight scoff. He was quickly dismissed and I was left with my own conclusion.
This book is like most say- very interesting. I think both the author and Stephen Greer may have some things right but but all.
My first instinctive question about this book was "how does he know this?" Right out of the gate, I'm assuming it's pure sci-fi but he does provide some backstory.
Well, his work is comprised of others accounts.
It can be unnerving when it comes to the malevolent species.
If I had to pick a side drawn from my own conclusions- it would be MUFON over Dr. Greer because if there are malevolent species, you won't catch me in the open air shining lasers and telepathically calling the closest craft to come down and visit, blindly welcoming.
Some close encounters and abductees are horrified by their experience and live through a lasting trauma.
If you peruse the national ufo reporting center website, you will see reports of different crafts and behavior. One could interpret this as different levels of curiosity or.....various agendas.
The universe is infinite as far as we know- beyond our humanly knowledge and capabilities. We haven't even fully explored our own galaxy. If we have the ability to be malevolent at times, what human can really say there's not another life form like us? Another life form that relies on food (other life forms) for energy? We all know what can happen when we get a little hungry. We all know the greed that can came from the demand and price of natural resources. Could other species scout the Earth just as we are racing for resources on the moon? There should be no limit to possibilities so I can only stay open minded.
BOTTOM LINE- 100% would recommend as a read. It's different from the others when you want a refreshing change in format. No long stories so you can pick up anywhere- almanac style. A reference guide for alien races that can be quite entertaining!

An interesting and fun to read book for those who are into extraterrestrial species.
Format: Paperback
My reading interests have always been wide and varied. I love exploring scientific topics like physics, astronomy, cosmology and space travel; however, I am also curious about many other strange and unique subjects and after seeing this book (The Extraterrestrial Species Almanac: The ultimate guide to greys, reptilians, hybrids, and Nordics (MUFON) by Craig Campobasso) on Amazon I decided to purchase it.
Even though I am scientific minded I have to admit to be fascinated when I started to read this tongue and cheek treatment of supposed creatures inhabiting our universe, which must be hiding from our scientists who are working for SETI. May be they should also read this book? In any case, I do like this book because it is a joy and a fun exploration of what extraterrestrials might look like.
If you are interested in the unknown mysteries of outer space and what an alien race might look like, what their philosophy might be, and whether they are friendly to we earthlings or not, this book will provide that information as long as you keep in mind that it is a “tongue in cheek” evaluation. I also found the illustrations of our space brothers and sisters kind of interesting and unique.
This volume is organized into 6 parts covering human extraterrestrial races, zeta humans, (greys and more), animal and insect races, notable hybrid races, reptilians, and other extraterrestrials.
Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative Systems).

Interesting
Format: Paperback
This was a very interesting read. I read it cover to cover in 2 days. It was fascinating. Many details within matched up to various interviews and stories I have heard. That being said, I did find it odd all the "human" like aliens appeared to be Caucasian. I realize most the descriptions included multi colored skin tones, but all the pictures appeared Caucasian. So the universe with multi dimensions has no diversity?? Also, why were the most malevolent beings the most terrifying in appearance? That seemed a bit odd. That they would just so happen to be the ones that also look the most scary? Also, I looked up some of the resources and such used and they were charging exorbitant amounts to hear about their contactee interviews or be apart of star seed ascension or whatever. It's just, if everything is to be believed, wouldn't they want everyone to experience the path to enlightenment? I mean we all have to earn a living, but $40 just to hear one session?? I scoffed at that. All that being said, I am very open minded and well, ready to ascend from this plant, like, yesterday.

Incredible source of information on extraterrestrials and where they come from
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book Has changed the game and is a breakthrough for those of us who want to know more about life that exist in our shared universe. The author has brought us an in-depth view of species and beings from all throughout the galaxies. A profound read full of information on extraterrestrials like never before, we get to have them all in one book! The author has done an amazing job with his research and is knowledgeable and convincing I believe he has evidence and enough resources to make this book believable to readers and one we can trust. Truly a work of art I have learned so much more than I ever had on this subject and really look at this book as a blueprint for humans to get know all of names of the extraterrestrials and where they come from.

A very interesting read
Format: Paperback
The book has a straight forward and simple layout. I liked the variety of info they had on different "species", some probably real, and some very questionable. Since the information the author uses relies on MUFON reports, it assumes all reports people gave over the years are true. It loses me when it gets into the more malevolent groups like reptilians and then believe it or not, dragons, which are the ultimate evil controlling them.
