Philodendron gloriosum is a collector’s treasure — a terrestrial species native to Colombia that produces some of the most breathtaking foliage in the entire Philodendron genus. Its large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves are a deep matte green adorned with bold white veining that radiates outward from the center, creating an almost painted effect. The texture and scale of mature leaves make this one of the most visually commanding plants you can grow indoors.
Unlike most Philodendrons, gloriosum does not climb — it creeps horizontally along the soil surface, extending its rhizome outward as it grows. This means it needs a wide, shallow container rather than a tall one, and it will not attach to a pole. It’s a slower grower than many Philodendrons, but each new leaf is worth the wait.
Care guide: Bright indirect light brings out the best contrast in the veining; avoid low light, which dulls the foliage. Plant in a well-draining aroid mix rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings — gloriosum does not like wet feet. Higher humidity (60%+) encourages larger, more dramatic leaves. A rewarding species for patient collectors who appreciate extraordinary foliage.
Additional info:
Philodendron is one of the most popular genuses of Aroid that are currently in cultivation, with over 450 named cultivars.
Philodendron vary greatly in their natural habits, but you will find a large number of them located in Latin America. Their leaves range from small to medium to large to gigantic! You'll find Philodendron with smooth, glossy foliage and some with velvety foliage!
If you allow Philodendron to climb, their foliage will usually get much larger the higher up they get. While this isn't true for all Philodendron species -- it is for most. We recommend a coco pole to really get your Philodendron growing!
For the most part, Philodendron are easy to care for.
The name Philodendron comes from the greek words "philo" (love or affection) and "dendron" (tree).

The size for this $15.00 is great. I had a few juvenile leaves on the plant. it looks very healthy with a sturdy root system. This has been a Wishlist plant for more than a year and I love the plant that I received at an exceptional price,
Excellent quality. Plants came well packed, healthy, no pests. This was my first order from Canopy Plant Co and I will be ordering again!
Beautiful plant. Arrived in perfect condition. Great communication with the seller !
Such a pretty plant! Highly recommend
Placed into another pot with an older Gloriusum. Thriving nicely.
Plants were packaged very well and arrived quickly. Can’t wait to watch them grow.
Shipped and packed so well! Arrived safe and sound despite how delicate the leaves are. I had such a wonderful experience with this first order! She’s a total beaut and is adapting well.
I have wanted this plant for awhile! So glad Canopy had it. Arrived in great condition. It’s already growing a new leaf! 🤗
That’s so exciting! We’re thrilled you finally got your wishlist plant—and even better that it’s already growing a new leaf! Thanks for choosing Canopy.
Another win from Plant Canopy. My plant arrived beautifully packaged and glowing gloriously. My absolute favorite go to plant shop! Thank you guys!
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support! We’re honored to be your go-to plant shop. Enjoy your new plant!
The plant shipped quickly and has new growth. There is some minor scarring on the leaves. But overall beautiful and seems like a healthy plant!
I’ve been on the lookout for a gloriousum for a while and I couldn’t pass up such a beautiful one at a great price! Canopy will be my new go to for online plants!
I am honestly blown away by how tall, lush, healthy, and well packaged this plant was (and don't even get me started on how amazing the roots were), and I don't think I'll be purchasing from any other online plant seller from now on. I bought another 4 inch gloriosum from the highest rated etsy plant seller, and it was almost twice as expensive, literally half the size of what I received from Canopy, and no where near as healthy. 10/10 will purchase all my plants from Canopy in the future
My plants all came in excellent shape. I think my glorisum even has some sport variegation!!!
I was so happy with my purchase and will definitely be ordering from this company again!
Received my gloriosum in perfect condition, can’t believe it’s so full!
My plant arrived very well packaged, including a heat pack. The plant is in great shape and has been doing well ever since. I even have new leaves growing. This was my first time buying online from Canopy Plant Co. and it was a great experience. I will be back for more!
Received healthy and beautiful plant. Nicely packaged.
such a great deal. Plant was super lush and full. Beautiful 🤩
The plant was well secured in the box and wrapped up. My new gloriosum is gorgeous!! I will definitely order from Canopy plant again, in fact I have 2 plants in my cart right now! Thank- you Canopy Plant for a job well done!!
Very healthy plant. Since having the plant I've had two new leaves come in.
First time ordering from here and it was an awesome experience! Plant was well packed & with great care! I have one new growth growing 🙃 very excited!
I am sooo glad I went ahead and purchased from Canopy! My plants arrived super fast and in really good condition!!!
