Philodendron gloriosum is a tropical plant known for its large, heart-shaped, velvety green leaves with striking white veins. Native to the rainforests of Colombia, this species grows as a creeping terrestrial plant, spreading horizontally along the soil rather than climbing like many other philodendrons.
As the plant matures, its leaves increase in size and display stronger contrast between the veins and the leaf surface. New growth often emerges with a rosy tint that gradually fades into deep green as the leaves expand and firm up. The foliage, soft to the touch and boldly veined, has a rich, artistic quality that sets this plant apart and makes it especially prized among rare plant collectors.
Unlike vining Philodendrons that require support to grow upward, Philodendron gloriosum spreads from a thick, above-ground rhizome that creeps across the surface of the soil. This makes it ideal for shallow, wide containers, allowing room for the rhizome to stretch and new leaves to develop along its path. With proper care, mature leaves can reach 12–18 inches long, becoming dramatic focal points in any indoor space.
As a member of the Araceae family, this plant is related to other popular philodendrons but distinguished by its crawling habit and matte, velvety texture. It is often compared to species like Philodendron Micans or Melanochrysum, but its low, horizontal growth pattern and thick, textured foliage give it a more sculptural, grounded presence. It’s not a climber but a slow-spreading, leaf-forward specimen that adds elegance and calm structure to any plant collection.
-
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain healthy growth and strong leaf color. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the soft, velvety leaves.
Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, as overwatering can lead to root and rhizome rot.
Thrives in moderate to high humidity, ideally above 50%. If your indoor air is dry, consider a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray.
Use a well-draining, airy mix, such as a blend of potting soil with orchid bark, peat or coco coir, and perlite. This helps support root health and proper moisture retention. Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Skip feeding during the plant’s slower-growing fall and winter months.
Grows best in 65–80°F temperatures. Avoid cold drafts and keep it away from areas that drop below 55°F.
Like many aroids, Philodendron gloriosum is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Hidden History
Format: Paperback
Dr. McCurry has no dog in this fight. She is Irish by birth, and raised in Canada. However, she brings a fresh perspective to the Confederate enterprise. From its foundation to the bitter end, the life of the Confederate state is documented in the words of the people who lived it. Dr. McCurry includes all the people embraced by the Confederacy, even if they weren't considered "citizens." This includes women and the enslaved people; two thirds of the Confederacy's population. The only battles documented are the struggles of an infant state professing to have perfected the US Constitution that had birthed into war. It didn't all work out as planned. But there are important lessons to be learned that aren't usually taught about the Civil War.

Excellently written behind the scenes history
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best books on the irony of the Civil War. It is a different perspective that focuses on the misjudgement and arrogance of the confederacy. Food wars and manipulation of the slaves they were not part of their ill-conceived strategy to establish a states based totally on inequality. Too bad that today's politicans are trying to repeat the same mistakes. I would highly recommend this book to students of the Civil War and anybody who looks at today's politics and wonders where their southern strategy got its roots.

Women and slave power in the C.S.A.
Format: Paperback
Fascinating, well documented description of the influential roles played by women and slaves in the Confederated States of America. The author demonstrates that the principal focus of the C.S.A. was first and foremost on the preservation of its 'peculiar institution', i.e., slavery, and the how this, along with the increasing politization of women, undermined its viabilty in many ways. The author's style is a bit turgid and academic at times, but well worth the effort to gain a better understanding of the Civil War from the South's perspective.

I really enjoyed the premise of this book
Format: Hardcover
It seems to me that, it was a book just waiting to be written. The author covers topics very rarely considered in any detail in other books on the Civil War. She helps cut through some of the romantic mysticism and points out reasons why, as we all suspected, that most of the South (especially the poor) were very much victims of the Confederacy. She also explains in greater detail the way of thinking of the Planter class of the Old South, which still exists today--you can even hear it in the speech of the elites of the Deep South today.
The problem I had with this book, is that the author repeats herself. Some here have said that they don't understand why people are saying that. Let me paraphrase just a couple examples of what I mean. She says , in one paragraph, that "soldiers wives started to become a political constituency for the first time" and explains how. A paragraph later, she ends the paragraph with "becoming a political entity was something new for poor white soldiers' wives". On the next page it says "for poor soldiers' wives, the Civil War was a huge burden, and they came into their own politically". In three pages she might say, "the term soldiers' wives' began to take on political meaning for the first time". Now, that is not repeating yourself with the same words, exactly. But it is repeating concepts that are not that hard to grasp. The book could have been much shorter and, IMHO, much better. I am not sure why the author feels the need to repeat certain points over and over.
Another concept "done to death" was how the Planter class had not considered that a full 1/3 of their population would not only not be soldiers, but also would , in all likelihood, be opposed to them. Now, this would seem obvious to us now, so it is important that she point it out. But once is enough. I hope I am explaining the "repetition problem" a little better here....the topic and concepts were great. Repeating concepts over and over made for, in some places, a very long read.

Fascinating Social History of the Confederacy
Format: Paperback
This was hard to get into in the first chapter. It became more and more readable. It provides a critical look at the untold stories of women
and slaves in the Civil War-the powerless. It shows how poorly conceived the whole Confederate experiment was. When Jefferson Davis
said that the Confederacy would have written on its tombstone "Died of a Theory", he could have said "Died of Many Half-Baked Theories"
about the rights of the powerful over the powerless. There should be much more written about the social history of the Confederacy. One
of the more interesting points the book makes is how little the Southern people had to do with the secession of most of the states. This
was a tragedy of immense proportions.
