Large Philodendron Gloriosum
Gloriosum Philodendron
Comes in a 6” grower’s pot.
It's no wonder that hundreds of philodendron species are popular houseplants. Prized for their big heart-shaped foliage, these tropical plants are typically easy-to-care-for and adding a few will help transform your space into an indoor jungle.
One variety that is increasingly sought after is the Philodendron Gloriosum. This vulnerable Colombian native isn't a climbing epiphyte like many species in the genus. Instead, the heartleaf-shaped, velvety foliage with eye-catching white veins has a creeping, ground-crawling habit.
These Gloriosum Philodendron are 20'' tall and leaves that measure 8-10"
