Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Philodendron gloriosum displays gorgeous, large, and velvety, deep green, heart-shaped leaves with prominent white veins. A slowly creeping stem habit.
Easy-to-grow and perfect for low light, this robust plant brings exotic patterned foliage to the indoor garden. The large, deep green, velvety leaves are marked with pronounced silver-white veining. We can see how Gloriosum got its name. Grown for its ornamental leaves, this philodendron makes an outstanding container specimen since its leaves stay close to the stem. Prefers partial shade and once established is drought tolerant.
