Philodendron gigas

Philodendron gigas is a Panamanian climbing Philodendron whose juvenile and mature leaves can look noticeably different. Young plants usually show smaller, deep green, velutinous leaves. Mature plants can produce much larger ovate to narrowly ovate blades on long petioles, with fresh leaves sometimes opening bronze or coppery before hardening darker.

This species grows as a wet-forest liana in Panama. Its appressed-climbing stems have short, thick internodes, semi-persistent cataphylls and velvety, moderately leathery leaf blades. Young plants stay smaller at first, then open up as the stem attaches and adult foliage develops.

Philodendron gigas juvenile and mature leaf traits

  • Juvenile leaves: Young plants usually carry smaller, dark green, velvety leaves before the adult shape develops.
  • Mature blades: Adult plants can develop larger ovate to narrowly ovate leaves with a matte upper surface.
  • Petioles: Long, near-round petioles carry the larger adult leaves away from the climbing stem.
  • Growth habit: An appressed-climbing stem benefits from a pole, plank or rough vertical surface.

How Philodendron gigas develops with age

Philodendron gigas can look restrained when young because the juvenile leaves have not yet reached their adult size or shape. As the plant matures, the blades lengthen, the velvety surface becomes more pronounced and the petioles create a more open climbing outline.

Young stems can be less firmly attached until aerial roots find a suitable surface. A moss pole, plank or rough support gives those roots a place to anchor and helps the plant carry its larger foliage more steadily.

Care for Philodendron gigas as a velvet liana

  • Support: Add a pole or board early so aerial roots can attach as the stem lengthens.
  • Light: Place in bright indirect light; too much direct sun can mark the velvety leaf surface.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new velvet leaves expand with fewer stuck edges.
  • Watering: Water after the upper 25–30% of the mix has dried, keeping the root zone evenly moist but airy.
  • Substrate: Use bark, coco chips, perlite and a moisture-holding base for drainage with some even moisture.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 19–28 °C, and protect from cold windows in winter.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser during active growth to support larger leaves and steady stem extension.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and repot when roots have filled the container or the climbing support becomes unstable.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one viable node; single leaves without a node will not produce a new plant.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten the vine or redirect growth, and remove damaged leaves without rubbing the velvety surface.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to mineral substrates such as pon, pumice, lava or LECA if transitioned carefully and kept evenly moist but well aerated.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate indoors, with larger leaves developing once the stem is warm, rooted and firmly supported.

Philodendron gigas velvet leaf issues

  • Stuck new leaves: Raise humidity and check that the plant is not drying out heavily between waterings.
  • Undersized adult leaves: Check whether the stem has firm support, enough light and active roots.
  • Leaf edge crisping: Look for dry air, irregular watering or heat stress near radiators.
  • Dull or marked leaf surface: Avoid rough wiping, check for pest activity and let dust lift gently with airflow or a soft brush.
  • Pests: Check petioles, leaf undersides and new growth for spider mites, thrips, mealybugs or scale.

Pet safety for Philodendron gigas

Philodendron gigas is toxic if ingested because the tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it out of reach of pets, especially while new leaves and aerial roots are easy to bite.

Philodendron gigas species background and etymology

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, reflecting the tree-climbing habit common in the genus. Philodendron gigas was described by Thomas B. Croat and published in Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1997. The epithet gigas means giant. Mature plants can develop large leaves once the stem climbs and settles into adult growth.

Order Philodendron gigas for a Panamanian velvet climber that develops from compact juvenile leaves into large matte adult foliage.

Really Nice Hydrating Toner Pads
Scent: Collagen, Scent: Collagen
At 52, post-menopausal, with dry and increasingly sensitive skin, I’m very selective about toner pads. Many of them either feel too thin and ineffective or too active and irritating. These landed right in the middle in the best possible way — gentle, hydrating, and very easy to use. The first thing I noticed is how well these pads are saturated. They’re not dripping, but they hold enough product to comfortably treat the entire face. The gel texture also makes them feel a little more substantial than typical toner pads, which I really like. They feel cooling and comfortable on the skin. What I notice most after using them is how hydrated and slightly plumped my skin looks. This isn’t dramatic or instant, but it’s the kind of improvement that makes your skin look healthier and more comfortable. My skin feels smoother and softer, and it layers very well with the rest of my routine. They also feel very lightweight. There’s no sticky or heavy residue, and once the essence absorbs, my skin just feels hydrated and calm. I can easily follow with serums and moisturizer without any pilling. I also appreciate that these pads are gentle and very skin-compatible. I’ve had no irritation, redness, or sensitivity, even on days when my skin is feeling more reactive. At this stage, that matters more than aggressive results. In terms of moisture, these do a really nice job. My skin feels comfortable after using them, and they work well as a prep step before the rest of my routine. On some mornings, they even give enough hydration that I don’t feel rushed to apply moisturizer immediately. Fragrance is also worth mentioning. The scent is very light and subtle, and it doesn’t linger. I’m careful about fragrance, and these didn’t cause any sensitivity or irritation. Another thing I like is how easy they are to use. They’re quick, convenient, and a nice step when I want hydration without adding another liquid toner. Overall, these feel like a supportive, hydrating step that helps improve overall skin quality over time. They’re gentle, comfortable, and easy to incorporate into a daily routine.

Love These Toner Pads
Scent: Collagen
I’ve really been enjoying these Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads! They feel super refreshing on the skin and are an easy step to add into my routine. The pads are well-soaked without being messy, and they glide on smoothly. After using them consistently, my skin feels more hydrated and looks a bit more plump and smooth. I’ve also noticed my pores appear slightly minimized, especially around my T-zone. They’re gentle enough for daily use and don’t irritate my skin. Overall, a great option if you’re looking for a simple way to boost hydration and improve your skin’s overall look and feel!

Finally!!
Scent: Collagen
I have had huge pores with combination oily skin and dry skin since reaching my mid 30’s and makeup made them more prominent. Since adding these to my morning routine my makeup stays smooth with my pores minimized and skin looking and feeling healthier. After trying multiple products I finally found THE ONE.
