Variegated Philodendron Gloriosum – A Rare and Stunning Creeping Philodendron

Philodendron Gloriosum is a captivating creeping plant admired for its velvety, heart-shaped leaves and elegant growth habit. This rare variegated form elevates the beauty of the species with patches of mottled variegation, offering a unique addition to any plant collection.

About the Variegation:

Our mother plant was sourced from a trusted grower in Northern Queensland. It occasionally produces all-green leaves, but often surprises us with stunning leaves showcasing mottled variegation. The sale plant exhibits similar variegation to the mother plant, as shown in the photos. It currently holds one all green leaf, and a newer leaf with a patch of mottled variegation. 

Care Tips:

• Lighting: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
• Soil: Prefers a well-draining mix to support healthy root growth and prevent waterlogging.
• Humidity: Requires a minimum of 60% humidity to maintain its delicate foliage. Consider using a humidifier in drier environments.
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top few centimeters to dry out slightly between waterings.
• Pest Management: Regularly inspect for spider mites, as Gloriosum is prone to infestations. Wipe down leaves and use a safe pesticide as needed.

What to Expect:

The plant you see pictured is the exact plant you will receive. Each plant displays its own unique variegation patterns, making every specimen a one-of-a-kind treasure. This creeping Philodendron will thrive with proper care and grow into a spectacular statement piece.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
