Philodendron gloriosum
Philodendron gloriosum is a Colombian crawling Philodendron grown for large heart-shaped leaves with a velvety surface and pale venation. Its surface-running stem moves sideways across the substrate and produces one new leaf at a time from the active growing tip. A wide, shallow pot gives the stem room to advance while the root zone stays airy and evenly drained.
The creeping stem has visible internodes and persistent cataphylls, and it belongs at the substrate surface. Roots grow down into the mix while the active tip continues forward across the pot.
Philodendron gloriosum velvet leaves and crawling growth
- Leaf shape: Broad, heart-shaped blades become larger as the creeping stem establishes.
- Texture: The velvety surface gives mature leaves a deep green, matte finish.
- Venation: Pale veins define the blade shape and become more pronounced as leaves harden.
- Growth habit: A surface-creeping stem needs horizontal pot space and an airy substrate surface.
- Family: Araceae.
How Philodendron gloriosum creeps across the pot
Philodendron gloriosum develops one leaf at a time from a crawling stem. The stem should stay visible on top of the substrate, with roots growing down into an airy aroid mix. Deep planting keeps moisture around the stem and increases the risk of rot.
As the stem advances, the plant builds a low, spreading shape with new leaves emerging from the active tip. A pot with open substrate ahead of the growing point supports cleaner growth, especially once the stem begins reaching the pot edge.
Care for Philodendron gloriosum crawling stems
- Pot shape: Choose a wider pot so the creeping stem has room to move forward.
- Stem position: Keep the surface-running stem visible and clear of wet, compacted mix.
- Watering: Water when the upper 25–35% of the pot has dried, then let the surface settle before watering again.
- Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix that holds light moisture while draining quickly around the roots.
- Light: Provide bright indirect light to support broad leaves and steady growth.
- Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves open with fewer tears or stuck edges.
- Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally around 18–27°C, and protect it from cold draughts.
- Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser diluted below full strength.
- Repotting: Repot when the growing stem reaches the pot edge or root growth has filled the container.
- Propagation: Stem sections with at least one node can root in a warm, humid setup.
- Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the base of the petiole and keep old, wet cataphyll material from collecting around the stem.
- Mineral substrates: It can adapt to airy semi-hydro or mineral substrates if the creeping stem stays above the wet zone.
Philodendron gloriosum stem and leaf issues
- Soft creeping stem: Check planting depth and moisture; the stem should sit on top of the mix.
- Yellow leaves: Often linked to heavy substrate or overwatering around the roots.
- Torn new leaves: Improve humidity and keep watering steadier while leaves are expanding.
- Stalled growth: Check whether the growing tip has run out of horizontal space.
- Pests: Check the undersides of leaves and the petiole bases for thrips, spider mites and mealybugs.
- Leaf spotting: Improve airflow around the plant and keep the velvety leaf surface dry after watering.
Pet safety for Philodendron gloriosum
Philodendron gloriosum is toxic if eaten and can irritate the mouth and digestive tract. Place it away from pets and wash your hands after handling cut or damaged tissue.
Philodendron gloriosum published name and etymology
The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, a reference to climbing and tree-associated growth in much of the genus. Philodendron gloriosum was described by Édouard André and published in Illustration Horticole in 1876. The species epithet gloriosum means glorious or splendid, matching the broad velvety leaves and pale venation seen on mature plants.
Philodendron gloriosum brings a low, spreading growth habit together with large velvet leaves and bold pale veins.

Great book! Little known knowledge shared by a true master!
Format: Paperback
The book arrived on time and in great shape. I had just attended an in person conference by the writer of this book, Donna Eden, and left the conference feeling so much more empowered that I had to know more. Through personal health challenges that left her in constant pain and bedridden in her twenties, and doctors unsure how to help her, Donna Eden who is now in her seventies or eighties, became her own guru!! Utilizing different natural ways of healing and learning all about energy medicine she developed her own personal brand of energy medicine. She is healthy and thriving over 5 decades later. Loaded with information that will change your life and your health in this book she shares with you the knowledge and the energy medicine exercises so you can help yourself. I now own all her books!

Good Book, Very Practical
Format: Paperback
This is a very interesting read and has some great exercises in it. I really enjoyed the book. Then I went on-line and watched a couple videos of Donna Eden speaking, and I have to say she seems like a New Age looney tune, all wide eyes, soft voice and gigantic fake smiles. Itʻs a shame, really, because energy medicine is an important field and having spaced out people representing it gives it a bad name and makes it seem less valid. However, like I said, it is a good book and worth reading. Few books about the energy body actually give exercises on how to work with it yourself, so this gets over the hurdle of other books like Barbara Brennanʻs Hands of Light where if you want to learn the techniques you have to pay a lot of money and go in person to a seminar.

Book has tons of practical information and interesting stories
Format: Paperback
I have been following Mantak Chia's inner smile book and trying to understand the 5 elements theory for a long time.
Donna has not only explained how to use it in detail and but more about Chinese medicine in a way that is simple.
There is a large bibliography she draws from as well as her own papers.
She has combined kinesiology, her special talents, and her personal insights to create a powerful healing book.
I am a layman who is trying to heal herself and I have stopped my prescribed Chinese herbs after a few days since implementing her program.
It's a wholistic book written with as much information as she can impart with the feeling that she is trying to give you as much information as she can because she cares that you implement her exercises correctly.
Mantak Chia said to just try it.
Donna Eden tries to explain the functions but if you don't believe her reasoning or her whyfores, just try it.
It's faster and easier and more gratifying than any other system I have used.
She is top of the class in healing arts.
I didn't find this book until a month ago, where I was incontinent, depressed, headachy, and constantly low on energy.
Thanks to her book I will save a lot of money on diapers, herbs, pharmaceuticals.
My burning bladder noninfections are a thing of the past.
My 8 year search is over, no more empty answers.

Life Changer!
Format: Paperback
Excerpt:
“One of my first clients was a woman with ovarian cancer who came for a session with the hope that I could help her relax her body and prepare it for surgery that was scheduled in five days. She had been told to “get her affairs in order,” as her immune system was so weak that her chances of surviving the surgery were limited. Metastasis was also suspected.
From looking at her energy, I was certain that the cancer had not metastasized. While her energy was dim and collapsed close to her body, the only place that looked like cancer to me was in her left ovary. In addition, the texture, vibration, and appearance of the energy coming up through her ovary were responsive to my work with her. I could see and feel them shift, and by the end of the session, the pain that had been with her for weeks was gone.
I told her that her body was so responsive to what I had done that I wondered about her plan to have surgery. I was concerned that her immune system was indeed too weak, and I was confident that by working with her energy, not only would her immune system be strengthened, but the tumor’s growth could be reversed as well. While I carefully made my statements with the strong disclaimers required to avoid immediate arrest for practicing medicine without a license, she responded with horror to the implication that she cancel the surgery. I suggested that she at least delay the operation for two weeks. She scheduled a session with me for the next day and said she would discuss the surgery with her husband.
That evening, I received a call from her husband. He was outraged and threatening. He called me a quack. He said I was putting his wife’s life in jeopardy by giving her false hope, and he told me I would never have another chance to confuse her like this. He made it clear that she would not be coming back. When I began to respond, he hung up. I called back a short while later. She answered. Talking in hushed tones, she was clearly uncomfortable speaking with me. I said, “Okay, don’t postpone the surgery, but please keep your appointment tomorrow. You don’t have to pay. You have nothing to lose. I believe in what I am saying. In fact, I want you to bring your husband in with you. Find a way!” She did not believe he would come in, but the next day, they both arrived for the appointment, with the offer to see her for free having quelled some of his suspicions that I was a charlatan out to make a buck.
I had her lie down on the massage table. My hope was to find a way to give this traditional and skeptical man, so poignantly fierce in his protection of his wife, an experience of healing energy that his senses could not deny. I could see a dark dense energy at the site of his wife’s left ovary, and it felt like my hand was moving through a muddy swamp. I asked the husband to place his hand a few inches above the area and begin to circle it, using a motion that tends to draw energy out of the body. To his surprise, not only could he immediately feel that he was moving against something, within two minutes his hand was pulsing with pain. And to his utter amazement, his wife reported that her pain diminished as his increased.
By the end of the session, she was again pain free, felt better, and looked better. I showed them both, through the use of energy testing, that we had been able to direct healing energies from her immune system to the area of her tumor. I taught him a set of procedures to use with her every day. They decided to temporarily postpone the surgery and to ask for further medical tests before rescheduling it. After about ten days of these daily treatments from him and three more sessions with me, she went through the additional testing. The tumor was gone...”
I first came across Donna on youtube, and after watching her demos and hearing her story I had to pick up this book. And I'm sure glad I did! She is one of those rare angels that God truly spent a little more time on to heal and bring light to others. I feel such an affinity with everything she touches on especially when she talks about the wounded healer. From this excerpt and watching her, I can tell that Donna is one of those souls who is truly in touch with her spirit and lives securely through her high self. Thank you Ms. Eden for sharing your gift and grace with the World!
