Gloriosum Philodendron
Philodendron gloriosum
This terrestrial philodendron features dramatic, matte-finish heart-shaped leaves that can reach impressive sizes in optimal conditions. The foliage is distinguished by deep green color and prominent, light-colored, ivory-white veins that contrast beautifully with the leaf surface. As a crawler, it grows horizontally along the soil surface, making it an excellent choice for a wide, shallow container or a warm, humid indoor garden.
Philodendron gloriosum is a stunning, terrestrial-creeping aroid prized for its large, heart-shaped, velvety green leaves with striking pale-white veining.
