Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum has broad, heart-shaped leaves with a velvety to matte surface and textured petioles. The foliage can appear dark green to bronze-green on top, with paler undersides that may show red-purple tones.

This species is native from Costa Rica to Peru, where it grows as a climber in wet tropical forest. Indoors, its scaly-looking petioles and soft leaf surface need careful handling, stable humidity, and space for new leaves to open cleanly.

Visible traits of Philodendron verrucosum

  • Leaf shape: Broad cordate leaves form a rounded, heart-shaped profile.
  • Leaf surface: Velvety to matte texture marks more easily than glossy Philodendron foliage.
  • Colour detail: Dark green to bronze-green upper leaves with paler undersides that can show red-purple tones.
  • Petioles: Scaly to hairy-looking petioles remain visibly textured below the leaf blade.
  • Growth habit: A climbing stem develops nodes and grows upward on vertical support.

Climbing behaviour of Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum climbs from node to node, producing aerial roots along the stem. A stable pole or plank keeps the plant upright and gives developing leaves space to open without rubbing against older foliage.

The velvet leaf surface responds quickly to handling damage, dry air, and pests. Place the plant where new leaves can unfurl freely and avoid brushing the leaf surface during routine care.

Care for Philodendron verrucosum

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps growth compact while protecting the velvet leaf surface from scorch.
  • Water: Water once the upper part of the mix has started to dry; soggy roots can lead to yellowing and collapse.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new velvet leaves unfurl without sticking or tearing.
  • Substrate: A chunky aroid mix keeps thick roots aerated and reduces wet-root stress.
  • Support: A moss pole or plank gives aerial roots contact points as the stem climbs.
  • Temperature: Warm, stable conditions reduce leaf deformation and root stress.

Common issues with Philodendron verrucosum

  • Stuck leaves: Low humidity can cause new leaves to catch, wrinkle, or tear during unfurling.
  • Dry edges: Crispy margins can come from dry air, irregular watering, or salt buildup in the substrate.
  • Pests: Thrips and spider mites can mark soft velvet leaves quickly, especially on new growth.
  • Root decline: Dense wet substrate can cause yellowing, limp leaves, and slow recovery after watering.

Botanical background of Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum was described by L. Mathieu ex Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1856. The name verrucosum refers to a rough or warted surface, matching the species’ textured petioles.

Safety note for Philodendron verrucosum

Like other Philodendron, this plant contains calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and children who may chew the leaves or stems.

Lots of defects in construction
Size: 40 Cards Display Case Standard
I bought two of these, and at the time of writing this review, currently I've only loaded one with graded cards. First thing, the appearance looks decent, though some minor cosmetic issues here and there on the wood. After I got the display mounted on the wall, I started putting in the graded cards I wanted to display, and at first everything was going well; until I got to the 4 row. I noticed the first card I placed was wobbly, and would lean to the right. I looked at the card case, and figured it must be the case itself, until I put in the 3rd & 4th cards, and they to were wobbly, I ran my finger where the card sit and noticed either chipped wood, or excess glue, which prevent the cards from sitting flush against the rail. I continued to insert more cards, and one the bottom row, I noticed right away that there was a spacing issue between the 4th and 5th rows, and that the board between the two rows is bowed downward. I put a level on it and verified... which absolutely is is bowed. NOT COOL! Let's see how the return process goes now...

Buy if you collect cards and want to display
Size: 40 Cards Display Case Standard
Arrived as pictured. Very nice display case for baseball cards or whichever types of cards collected. Gifted to husband who collects baseball cards. Hold quite a bit of cards. Mounted on wall just fine. Glass is clear and we put a light strip on the inside, which added to it. Bought two of these.

Not frosted glass
Size: 40 Cards Display Case Standard
This display case is not too bad for the money. Just be aware that when you freak out because it’s frosted glass, it isn’t. It’s just cling film to protect the glass.
