Philodendron gloriosum dark form

Philodendron gloriosum dark form has the crawling stem of Philodendron gloriosum, with deeper mature leaf colour. New leaves open soft and velvety, then harden into dark green, heart-shaped blades with pale veins across the surface. The contrast becomes clearer as each leaf firms after unfurling.

The surface-running stem continues forward across the substrate and should stay visible at the surface. A broad container, an airy mix and open space ahead of the active tip help the plant produce new leaves without the stem pressing against the pot edge.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form leaf colour

  • Leaf colour: Mature leaves develop a deep green tone across the velvety blade.
  • Vein contrast: Pale veins stand out clearly against the darker mature leaf surface.
  • Growth habit: The creeping stem travels across the substrate and needs room at the growing tip.
  • Leaf development: New blades open soft, then firm gradually as the surface hardens.
  • Family: Araceae.

How Philodendron gloriosum dark form develops across the pot

New leaves show the colour change clearly as they harden, with the surface becoming darker and the pale veins more defined. Each leaf emerges from the creeping stem and firms gradually after unfurling. The active tip should have open substrate ahead of it so new growth can continue in its natural direction.

A broad container gives the creeping stem room to move forward. The stem should sit at the surface, with roots growing below it in a loose, airy mix. This setup reduces rot risk around the stem and gives the plant enough space to build larger leaves.

Care for Philodendron gloriosum dark form

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light to support steady growth and compact petioles.
  • Cleaning: Dust leaves gently with a soft cloth; rough wiping can mark the velvety surface.
  • Stem position: Keep the creeping stem visible at the surface and avoid piling wet mix over it.
  • Substrate: Use bark, perlite, coco chips and a light organic base for an open root zone.
  • Watering: Let the top 25–35% of the pot dry before watering again, then drain thoroughly.
  • Temperature: Keep warm at 18–28°C and protect the root zone from cold draughts.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves open with fewer stuck tips or torn edges.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser diluted below full strength.
  • Repotting: Repot when the creeping stem reaches the pot edge or the roots have filled the container.
  • Propagation: Stem sections with at least one node can root in a warm, humid setup.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base and clear old, wet cataphyll material from the stem surface.
  • Mineral substrates: It can adapt to airy semi-hydro or mineral substrates if the creeping stem stays above the wet zone.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form issues

  • Brown leaf patches: Check for direct sun, water sitting on leaves or physical rubbing against nearby plants.
  • Pale, stretched growth: Move to brighter indirect light and check that the plant is not shaded by taller plants.
  • Stem rot: Improve airflow around the creeping stem and reduce moisture at the surface.
  • Stuck leaf tips: Raise humidity around new growth and avoid irregular drying while a leaf is unfurling.
  • Pests: Check the undersides of leaves and petiole bases for thrips, spider mites and mealybugs.
  • Yellow leaves: Usually point to heavy substrate, overwatering or a root zone that stays wet for too long.

Pet safety for Philodendron gloriosum dark form

Philodendron gloriosum dark form contains calcium oxalate crystals. Ingestion can irritate the mouth and digestive tract, so keep the plant away from pets that chew leaves.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form botanical background

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, a reference to climbing growth in many members of the genus. The base species Philodendron gloriosum was described by Édouard André and published in Illustration Horticole in 1876. The epithet gloriosum means glorious or splendid. In cultivation, the dark form name is used for plants with a deeper mature leaf colour than the typical green form.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form brings the species’ low crawling growth together with darker velvet leaves and pale, defined venation.

Very pleased
Color: Black, Size: 8' Wide x 30" Tall
This works great, and I find it to be very effective at soundproofing. The hinge is good quality, and it rolls up easily. It is slightly on the heavier side, but that is to be expected considering its larger size. The materials used to make it are top quality, and it will last a long time.

Trying to limit the sound from the basement.
I still am in process of evaluating the function of these but from an early assessment they do seem to help take the noise down a peg. I have installed these between the joists in my basement so that as my kids get ramped up playing video games it could possibly help prevent the sound from rattling the house. I did not need to use the sticky side for this as I was able to slide them in place around other things to hold them still. With four panels I have ok coverage of the area and if they continue to prove effective I will get more to fill out the area even more. They appear well made and of good size but I am not an expert in sound absorbing materials. Still so far so good.

Not like egg-crate foam, but these look nice and help with noise
Everyone is putting these on the walls. I opted for the ceiling. Back in the middle of the pandemic, I converted a corner of a back-room/work-room into a home office space for my work-from home activities. It's a basement, and so it's concrete walls, but I did my best to put things on or in front of the concrete to dampen sound. But I didn't spend any time thinking about the open-rafter ceiling, which is really just the main-level floor. That's where these (and a couple other) sound-reducing tiles came in. I tacked some packs of these overhead, and immediately noticed a fair reduction in noise in my "office," as well as noise from upstairs. But they also had the effect of reducing my ceiling height, making it easier to warm the space when it's cold. And they look good doing it, providing a pretty nice ceiling. These tiles are not very thick, not like true acoustic wall materials. So you're not going to get the sound dampening of egg-crate foam. But they do offer some degree of reduction in ambient noises. And they don't cost a lot. Overall, I'm pleased and think I need to order more for some other areas of the room.

A Little Thin
These were a little thinner than I expected, but they work well to help dampen the sound in hard rooms. The larger size means less time installing them and more time enjoying the benefits of a softer room.
