Philodendron gloriosum TRICOLOUR

Philodendron gloriosum ‘Tricolour’ is a rare and highly sought-after cultivar, appreciated for its luxurious velvet leaves and unique variegation that features shades of cream, pink, and lime across deep green foliage. Unlike climbing philodendrons, gloriosum creeps horizontally, making it ideal for low-profile pots or shallow planters where it can sprawl naturally.
This specimen combines botanical elegance with sculptural beauty, making it a true statement piece in any rare plant collection. Suitable for collectors or interior stylists looking to elevate a space with something genuinely special.

Philodendron gloriosum 'Tricolour' thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn its velvety leaves. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry—this plant prefers evenly moist but not soggy conditions. Use a well-draining aroid mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Maintain humidity above 60% for optimal leaf development. Ideal temperature range: 18–28°C.

Fertilize lightly every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and to support photosynthesis.
