About Philodendron 'Glorius'
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

Meet Caíssa: A little over one month ago, she was nothing but a node on a chonk. She was my very first Gloriosum and I had no idea how fickle they were when I adopted her. She had one huge leaf but it quickly turned yellow and suddenly wilted, despite following all instructions. I was sad when I saw root rot. I trimmed them off and placed her in long moss, spritzing her daily. Then I bought a fish tank with LED lights on the cover. I tossed her in the tank with more moss, added water and Saran wrapped the tank to keep the humidity in. It took a little over a month to see a tiny sprout. I added water and Saran wrapped the tank again. Today, my daughter said, “It looks like you’ve got a leaf.” Bing! Here’s the picture I have of her. She was adopted in November, 2021. Died in November, 2021. Went into the tank April 2022. Sprouted signs of a new leaf mid May 2022. And has a new leaf to unfurl June 9, 2022. Throughout that time, I had others that taught me everything I could possibly share with others but this is the one that started it all! My entire indoor collection! I set out to have her back and here she is!💗💗💗 😮💨 🥃 I honestly thought she wasn’t going to make it but she pulled through! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #gloriosum #CentralTexasGang #JungleGloriousum

Help needed in identifying this climbing velvet leaf philodendron! @JCPlantProper spotted it early—after doing some research, I’ve determined that this is indeed NOT a Gloriosum. The petiole isn’t D-shaped like a Gloriosum, and this appears to be climbing as opposed to self-heading. I can’t tell what it is! Maybe P. Glorious? Or P. Splendid? I feel VERY confident that it is not a P. Melochrysum. Any ideas? TIA! #plantdetectives #PlantID #identify #helpneeded #Philodendron #PhiloFlock

Easier than both the gloriosum and the melanochrysum, it is very tolerant of changing conditions and maintains growth steadily through the year.
It has parentage from both climbing and crawling philodendrons so do not be surprised if it takes either growth pattern. To confirm ID ask a more experienced grower for features to look for that distinguish it from philodendron gloriosum.
