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.

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started reading this book, but it definitely wasn't what I got. And, what I got was so much better! The idea of large groups of people just being taken from Earth on a schedule and yet the general population still having a rather blase attitude about avoiding large crowds is something that, 2 years ago, I would have said was unrealistic. After living through 2020, I now think it's incredibly realistic. As is the reaction had by a lot of the ones taken with Emma - well, before the coughing started, anyway. As for the trials. Holy crap! I can't imagine having to go through those, but I loved Emma's absolute determination to make it through them so she can (somehow) make it back to Earth and see her family again. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the first trials section went, as it can be very difficult for authors to maintain a flow when there's one person. Having Suri there for conversations helped, but Wells did a masterful job there. Then we get to Hub Two and the difficulties there, and man! While I do hope that Emma doesn't have to keep taking so many crazy risks, her sheer determination to make it through works so well. Even though she clearly has plot armor that prevents her from dying, all the close calls - and the ways she gets out of them - are done really well. None of them seem outlandish or unrealistic, at least to me, which I greatly appreciated. I am definitely looking forward to reading book 2.

Started with a slow burn...
Format: Kindle
Well this book started with a slow burn as the author tried to not just teach the MC, Emma, but to everyone reading, a whole new kinda magic system. And it's purdy gimmicky if you ask me. I did like Emma's devil may care attitude when it comes to problem solving. Still it got better after new characters were introduced and Emma managed to team-up. And the story was fun as they work out the intricacies of the system. I am even eager to try the next book to see if it'll enthrall me. Here's a couple of quotes that amused me: “You could’ve died, you jerk!” I shake my head with a small smirk. “No, no, it’s pronounced, ‘Wow, that’s amazing, Emma!’ ” "...the plesiosaurus... plesiosauruses? Plesiosauri? The plessies chase after me..."

Love it! Romance included!
Format: Kindle
Love the characters, love the world, love the series! The romance aspect turned out to be quite entertaining, definitely a slow burn, which is my favorite and the fact that the love interest is a girl has me cheering. But the story is a litrpg first and foremost and isn’t lacking on anything I look for in the genre. A lot of things about the world are completely original as well. I couldn’t put it down and read through both of the first two books in two days. To those hating on Katelin… why? I think she’s hilarious and super cute. Also, if you’re confused as to why Emma seems attracted to her even though she’s straight, that’s actually explained in the next book. Pretty clever honestly.

Not bad, but...
Format: Kindle
I read to 33% (my percentage point to determine if I will stick it out, unless it's terrible of course) and can say with authority that this book is ok, but not for me. There are some points that I think are worth mentioning. It is specifically mentioned that the MC has a generously proportioned bust, and that she is not wearing a sports bra. And yet her generous chest causes no difficulty in athletic action. Don't get me wrong, busty women can be very athletic, but they wear sports bras while being athletic. How do I know this as a man, simple. Generously, and not so generously, proportioned women have told me that this is important. Second: At33% she is still in the middle of her 'test', so it's a slow moving book. Third: The system interface goes from being indifferent to the MC to being willing to bend/break the the rules to aid her. Honestly, I prefer the indifferent one. It takes more than a little spunk to flip that switch. In conclusion, not for me, some significant problems, but I could see some people enjoying this. Tom out

A new style LitRPG for me
Format: Kindle
I really like Emma. The attraction that is in this series so far seems blessedly not limited by gender. This starts out like a few other same genre series I've read. It is unique though in how it kicks off. The AI sidekicks do seem suspicious, but also motivated to help their charge progress. Now, if only I could travel, and survive, to a dimension or universe that changed my hair to stay the color I like that would be perfect. Fun series, well written with both mystery and challenge.
