Philodendron Splendid — Rare Velvet Leaf Hybrid (verrucosum × melanochrysum)

The Philodendron Splendid is a testament to horticultural artistry — a hybrid that masterfully combines the best attributes of its parentage: the iridescent, velvety sheen of Philodendron melanochrysum and the distinct, textured petioles of Philodendron verrucosum. Each emergent leaf unfurls in a deep, jewel-toned green with prominent, pale venation, maturing into a spectacular heart-shaped blade that can reach impressive dimensions when allowed to climb.

Care Requirements

  • Temperature: Stable ambient conditions between 18–24°C; avoid draughts and sudden drops typical of European winters.
  • Humidity: Non-negotiable at 70–85%; a greenhouse cabinet or vivarium is ideal.
  • Light: Bright, indirect light mimicking the dappled light of its ancestral rainforest floor — never direct sun.
  • Substrate: A bespoke soilless aroid mix to ensure optimal root aeration and prevent waterlogging, critical for this sensitive hybrid.
  • Fertilising: During the active growth period (March–September), a balanced fertiliser diluted to half-strength every third watering supports robust foliar development.
  • Support: Provide a moss pole or coir totem to encourage climbing and promote larger, more defined mature leaf morphology.

FAQ

How can I encourage mature leaf morphology in Philodendron Splendid?

To promote larger, more defined leaves, provide a moss pole or coir totem for climbing, mimicking its natural hemiepiphytic growth. Maintain high humidity (70–85%) and bright, indirect light (approx. 1,000–2,000 foot-candles). A feeding regimen with a balanced liquid fertiliser including micronutrients, every 2–4 weeks during the active growing season (spring through late summer), is crucial for mature expression.

What is the ideal substrate composition for a mature Philodendron Splendid?

A chunky, well-aerated aroid mix is critical to prevent root hypoxia and subsequent rot. We recommend a soilless blend: 40% orchid bark, 20% perlite, 20% coco husk chips, 10% sphagnum moss, and 10% activated charcoal. This composition ensures excellent drainage and gas exchange while retaining adequate moisture for the root system.

Is Philodendron Splendid susceptible to specific pests under European indoor conditions?

Yes. Its velvety leaves are particularly attractive to spider mites (Tetranychidae), especially in lower humidity environments (<60%). Regular inspection of leaf undersides is advised. Thrips are also a known pest. Proactive integrated pest management (IPM) using beneficial insects like Amblyseius swirskii or horticultural oil applications during warmer months is an effective preventative measure.

Prefect coverage and cooling.
I have to have sun protection and I live in the south. This is perfect for my daily walks. Covers what I don’t want to put sun screen on, the loose fit hides tummy area and loose in back. Liked it so much, I just ordered two more. Soft, silky, and Very cooling and lightweight.

Weird spot on it.
Color: Black, Size: Large
I kind of like this top, especially the feel of it. Unfortunately, it has an odd stain on the front. Looks like a heat mark from being pressed? I hope it comes out because I threw the bag away. If it does come out I'll take down this review.

Love these bamboo tops..I live in them!
Color: White, Size: Small
I am a fan of Pioneer Camp bamboo tops for their softness, natural fiber content and washability. They come out of the washer and a few minutes in the dryer looking like brand new. I have about 6 of the cropped tops and 3 of these longer yoga style for cooler weather. My daughter only wears natural fiber clothing and she asked me about the cropped tops because she really liked them; she now wears these tops and loves them, too, especially because she has a new baby and doesn’t want anything synthetic near her. The fabric has a perfect ”weight” to it so that it isn’t see-through at all, but it’s breathable and so comfortable even in the hot Arizona summers. I suppose the fact I have 9 of this brand top says it all..I basically live in them😊
