Philodendron 'Glorious'

Philodendron 'Glorious' is a velvet-leaved climbing hybrid made from Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron melanochrysum. It combines the broad, heart-shaped influence of gloriosum with the climbing growth of melanochrysum, producing large dark green leaves, pale veining and a soft velvety surface.

This hybrid changes noticeably when given vertical support. Young plants may spread loosely at first, but once the stem anchors to a moss pole or coir pole, the leaves usually become larger, flatter and more mature in shape. The velvety surface can show water marks, dust and physical damage clearly, so careful placement and handling matter.

Hybrid traits at a glance

  • Hybrid parentage: Philodendron gloriosum x Philodendron melanochrysum.
  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron that develops best with a tall, stable support.
  • Leaf shape: Broad to elongated heart-shaped leaves with a soft velvet texture.
  • Leaf colour: Deep green mature leaves with clear pale veining and a dark, velvety surface.
  • Indoor behaviour: Mature leaves develop best when the stem is trained upward.

How the climbing stem matures

Philodendron 'Glorious' develops from a jointed climbing stem with aerial roots at the nodes. These roots help the plant anchor and take up moisture from its support. A dry pole can hold the stem in place, but a slightly moisture-retentive support encourages stronger attachment and better mature leaf development.

New leaves emerge softer and lighter, then harden into a deeper green with stronger contrast between blade and veins. The fine surface texture gives the foliage its velvet finish, so the plant should have enough space for the leaves to open freely.

Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron melanochrysum are both wet-tropical Colombian species. Their hybrid responds well to warmth, filtered light, airy root conditions and steady moisture. Indoors, the aim is to copy the forest-edge balance: enough light for strong leaves, enough air around the roots to prevent stagnation, and enough humidity to support smooth leaf expansion.

Care for velvet Philodendron leaves

  • Light: Give bright indirect light. Gentle morning sun can be tolerated after acclimation, but harsh midday or afternoon sun can mark the velvet leaves.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the upper part of the mix dry before watering again. The plant dislikes a permanently wet root zone but also reacts poorly to long dry stretches during active growth.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco chunks, perlite or pumice and a moisture-holding organic component. The mix should drain quickly while staying lightly moist around the roots.
  • Support: Add a moss pole, coir pole or similar vertical support early. Tie the stem loosely until aerial roots attach by themselves.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity supports cleaner leaf unfurling. A humidifier or a grouped plant setup is better than wetting the leaves.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18°C, and avoid cold draughts or chilled wet substrate.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding when growth slows.
  • Repotting: Repot only when roots have filled the pot. Move up one pot size and keep the support stable during the change.

Troubleshooting velvet leaf growth

  • Small new leaves: Usually linked to weak light, lack of support or a dry pole. Move the plant brighter and train the stem onto a stable support.
  • Brown edges: Often caused by irregular watering, dry air during leaf expansion or salt build-up in the mix. Check root moisture before adjusting humidity.
  • Yellow lower leaves: One old leaf can age naturally, but several yellowing leaves suggest overwatering, poor drainage or a cold root zone.
  • Torn or stuck new leaves: Usually linked to low humidity, abrupt drying or mechanical pressure. Keep conditions steadier and avoid touching emerging leaves.
  • Pest marks: Fine speckling, dull patches or sticky residue can point to mites, thrips or scale. Inspect leaf backs, petioles and new growth closely.

Philodendron 'Glorious' benefits from enough vertical room. Repeated cutting keeps the plant smaller and delays the larger leaves that develop on a supported mature stem. For the best shape, guide the main stem upward and let each new leaf face the light.

Pet safety and handling

Philodendron 'Glorious' is not pet-safe. Like other Philodendron, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract if ingested. Sap may also irritate skin, so wash your hands after pruning or handling cut stems.

Hybrid origin and name

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family. The genus name comes from Greek elements commonly translated as “loving” and “tree”, a reference to the tree-climbing behaviour seen in many species. Philodendron 'Glorious' was created by Australian hybridiser Keith Henderson from Philodendron gloriosum x Philodendron melanochrysum; later naming is attributed to Michael “Miguel” Pascal.

On a stable support, Philodendron 'Glorious' can develop broad velvet leaves with pale veining and a darker mature surface.

soft, cozy, lightweight. Drapes nicely or folds flat & even. Warm as liner to another blanket
Color: Orange, Size: Twin(60"x80"), Color: Orange, Size: Twin(60"x80")
Summer weight, soft feel, cozy. If using in cooler temps, then consider using it as a liner, then toss another blanket on top. Nice cozy way to trap in heat. I love orange and was looking for a functional throw blanket. I didnt want the typical lap blanket size (50"x60"). I am tall and wanted something I can tuck my feet under and pull up to my chest when on the couch. But I also wanted it to be decorative when not in use. Not wanting a thick blanket for this purpose, I looked for a thin one of this style. It folds small and flat, OR drapes nicely when tossed. Even at twin size (60"x 80"), it still works as a "throw" blanket. It measures a little wider and aittle shorter so not perfect twin length. It is thin, but not see through. Very soft. Haven't washed it yet, so hopefully it holds up. ALSO, we have cats and dogs, so I am always looking at something to see if it can also be used for them. Depending on size, these blankets would make good furniture covers. Nicer than sheets, cheaper than pet products, thin enough to toss in washer, and a material that will stay in place on fabric furniture. Or just a blankey for pets that like to get cozy. WHICH, at the time of my writing this, my recent rescue dog from the south is experiencing the cool fall temps of fall. She is snuggled up tight against me. I have this blanket as the base on me and the couch, and then a thicker fleece blanket on top of me and her. I just took a pic and will include it.

Comfortable, durable and great for everyday use
Color: Brown, Size: Queen(90"x90")
This blanket is super cozy and soft, and it’s true to size. I got the brown color, and the quality is excellent. I’ve washed it multiple times, and it comes out looking like new every time. It’s on the thinner side but still keeps you warm—perfect for lounging on the couch or sitting by the fire. The fabric stretches a bit, but not in a way that would cause it to rip or break. Pros: Soft and cozy True to size Maintains quality after washing Lightweight yet warm Slight stretch without damage Cons: Thin, may not be sufficient for very cold nights Conclusion: Overall, this blanket is comfortable, durable, and great for everyday use. It’s ideal for relaxing at home while staying warm.

Nice Lightweight Blanket
Color: Light Camel, Size: King(108"x90")
I bought this because my winter blanket is too heavy for the summer. I'm a hot sleeper and have to have the temperature at 68 at night because the bedroom is upstairs above a garage and it gets warm. This blanket is very soft and not thick and I don't get hot. I have a queen size bed but I bought a king size so it looks more like a bedspread. It doesn't hang down far on one side but that is the side that people don't see so that's fine. If you like a blanket on the thinner side yet still warm enough, you will like this.

Bright color & true to size
Color: Red, Size: Twin(60"x80")
I ordered red. Color was vibrant although it has a touch of Orange - not the deep red I thought I would get. Funky chemical smell when I opened it - it went away after I spread it out for a few hours. It's soft with hemmed edges. A little thin but OK for the bed I ordered it for. Price was right & I would probably order additional colors if warranted in the future. It arrived quick.
