Philodendron 'Glorious'

Philodendron 'Glorious' is a velvet-leaved climbing hybrid made from Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron melanochrysum. It combines the broad, heart-shaped influence of gloriosum with the climbing growth of melanochrysum, producing large dark green leaves, pale veining and a soft velvety surface.

This hybrid changes noticeably when given vertical support. Young plants may spread loosely at first, but once the stem anchors to a moss pole or coir pole, the leaves usually become larger, flatter and more mature in shape. The velvety surface can show water marks, dust and physical damage clearly, so careful placement and handling matter.

Hybrid traits at a glance

  • Hybrid parentage: Philodendron gloriosum x Philodendron melanochrysum.
  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron that develops best with a tall, stable support.
  • Leaf shape: Broad to elongated heart-shaped leaves with a soft velvet texture.
  • Leaf colour: Deep green mature leaves with clear pale veining and a dark, velvety surface.
  • Indoor behaviour: Mature leaves develop best when the stem is trained upward.

How the climbing stem matures

Philodendron 'Glorious' develops from a jointed climbing stem with aerial roots at the nodes. These roots help the plant anchor and take up moisture from its support. A dry pole can hold the stem in place, but a slightly moisture-retentive support encourages stronger attachment and better mature leaf development.

New leaves emerge softer and lighter, then harden into a deeper green with stronger contrast between blade and veins. The fine surface texture gives the foliage its velvet finish, so the plant should have enough space for the leaves to open freely.

Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron melanochrysum are both wet-tropical Colombian species. Their hybrid responds well to warmth, filtered light, airy root conditions and steady moisture. Indoors, the aim is to copy the forest-edge balance: enough light for strong leaves, enough air around the roots to prevent stagnation, and enough humidity to support smooth leaf expansion.

Care for velvet Philodendron leaves

  • Light: Give bright indirect light. Gentle morning sun can be tolerated after acclimation, but harsh midday or afternoon sun can mark the velvet leaves.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then let the upper part of the mix dry before watering again. The plant dislikes a permanently wet root zone but also reacts poorly to long dry stretches during active growth.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco chunks, perlite or pumice and a moisture-holding organic component. The mix should drain quickly while staying lightly moist around the roots.
  • Support: Add a moss pole, coir pole or similar vertical support early. Tie the stem loosely until aerial roots attach by themselves.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity supports cleaner leaf unfurling. A humidifier or a grouped plant setup is better than wetting the leaves.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18°C, and avoid cold draughts or chilled wet substrate.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding when growth slows.
  • Repotting: Repot only when roots have filled the pot. Move up one pot size and keep the support stable during the change.

Troubleshooting velvet leaf growth

  • Small new leaves: Usually linked to weak light, lack of support or a dry pole. Move the plant brighter and train the stem onto a stable support.
  • Brown edges: Often caused by irregular watering, dry air during leaf expansion or salt build-up in the mix. Check root moisture before adjusting humidity.
  • Yellow lower leaves: One old leaf can age naturally, but several yellowing leaves suggest overwatering, poor drainage or a cold root zone.
  • Torn or stuck new leaves: Usually linked to low humidity, abrupt drying or mechanical pressure. Keep conditions steadier and avoid touching emerging leaves.
  • Pest marks: Fine speckling, dull patches or sticky residue can point to mites, thrips or scale. Inspect leaf backs, petioles and new growth closely.

Philodendron 'Glorious' benefits from enough vertical room. Repeated cutting keeps the plant smaller and delays the larger leaves that develop on a supported mature stem. For the best shape, guide the main stem upward and let each new leaf face the light.

Pet safety and handling

Philodendron 'Glorious' is not pet-safe. Like other Philodendron, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract if ingested. Sap may also irritate skin, so wash your hands after pruning or handling cut stems.

Hybrid origin and name

Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family. The genus name comes from Greek elements commonly translated as “loving” and “tree”, a reference to the tree-climbing behaviour seen in many species. Philodendron 'Glorious' was created by Australian hybridiser Keith Henderson from Philodendron gloriosum x Philodendron melanochrysum; later naming is attributed to Michael “Miguel” Pascal.

On a stable support, Philodendron 'Glorious' can develop broad velvet leaves with pale veining and a darker mature surface.

Dry glitter, not glue
Color: Glint Rainbow
This is dry glitter, not glitter spray. Will need glue for it to stick but it’s very pretty.

Fine holographic sparkle with smooth and even application
Color: Glint Rainbow
I tested this glitter powder several times over about two weeks while using it on my hair and along the cheek area for festival style makeup looks. The shimmer particles are very fine, which helps create a smooth reflective effect rather than chunky glitter. The applicator releases a light dusting of powder, which makes it easier to control how much product is applied. I found that building it gradually works best, starting with a light layer and adding more for a stronger sparkle effect. The holographic finish reflects different tones depending on the lighting, shifting slightly between soft rainbow colors under brighter light. It looks subtle indoors but becomes more noticeable and reflective in direct lighting or outdoor settings. During wear, the glitter stayed in place for several hours with minimal fallout when applied lightly. I noticed that applying it over slightly set makeup or hair helped it adhere better and reduced loose particles. With its fine texture, controllable application, and noticeable sparkle under different lighting, it delivers a versatile glitter effect for creative makeup looks. The quantity of the spray was nice and it was durable under the sun too.

Glitter Bomb
Color: Glint Rainbow
It gets ALL over the place and doesn’t stick all that well. Neat idea but it doesn’t work the way I would hope.

Cute bottle, great product
Color: Sparkling Pink
My daughter has been in to all things glitter. Most recently her makeup and skin care. Shes been looking for hair glitter. While helping her search I came across this spray and thought the bottle was too cute to pass up. The quality is great, she sprays it in her hair and it lasts all day. She can also use it on her skin for added sparkle. Surprisingly for a loose glitter it sticks really well. Some specks may transfer but not much.

Really lovely
Color: Glint-Rainbow
Got this for my toddler as a celebration gift for getting rid of her binky. Only big girls get to be sparkly. I also use clear coat on our nails and spray with however much glitter we feel like at the time and it's very cute. It is not adhesive, it's just loose glitter. If you want it to start on your hair I'd suggest light hairspray first immediately followed with the glitter. It's a very fun little bottle.
