Philodendron gloriosum 'Tricolor' is a rare and highly desirable collector Philodendron, admired for its exceptional velvety, heart-shaped leaves featuring beautiful variations of green, cream, and pink. Its distinctive tricolour variegation creates an extraordinary visual display, making it a standout specimen for collectors seeking unusual and eye-catching tropical foliage.
Unlike many climbing Philodendrons, Gloriosum is a terrestrial, creeping species that grows horizontally along the soil surface. Its prominent pale veins, luxurious velvety leaf texture, and striking multicoloured foliage make it an especially attractive addition to rare plant collections.

🌿 Growth Habit:
Philodendron gloriosum 'Tricolor' is a terrestrial creeping aroid that produces new leaves along a horizontal stem called a rhizome. Unlike climbing Philodendrons, it grows across the surface of the pot and benefits from a wide, shallow planter that accommodates its spreading growth. With suitable care, its leaves can become increasingly impressive as the plant matures.
🧾 Please Note:
Tricolour variegation, including the balance of green, cream, and pink tones, naturally varies between leaves and individual plants. Colour intensity may also change with leaf maturity and growing conditions. Variegated foliage contains less chlorophyll in lighter sections, so consistent bright, indirect light and appropriate care are important for healthy growth. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.

Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of the growing medium feel dry. Avoid overwatering.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally around 60–80%.
Temperature: 18–28°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with excellent aeration to keep the roots healthy.
Growth: Terrestrial and creeping. Use a wide, shallow pot to allow the rhizome to grow horizontally.
Fertilizer: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.
Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.

What to Expect
Each plant comes in its original nursery pot, which is typically 0.5–1 inch smaller than the listed size to ensure it fits neatly into a decorative pot of the same size.
As with all living things, each plant is unique. Natural variation in size, shape, and coloration is to be expected. We do our best to select a plant that closely matches the one shown on our website in the size you've chosen one that's healthy, beautiful, and ready to thrive in your home.
Winter Safe Packaging
We carefully monitor the destination weather for every order to ensure your plants arrive safely. When needed, 85-hour heat packs and additional cold-weather packaging may be included during the winter months when needed.
Seasonal Care Tips
Winter— Canadian winters mean shorter daylight and dry indoor air from heating. If natural light is limited from November through February, a full-spectrum grow light on a 12-hour timer helps maintain healthy growth and prevents etiolation (stretching toward light). Water sparingly once soil begins to dry, keep away from heating vents and cold glass, and use a humidifier or pebble tray to maintain humidity. Keep plants comfortably above 15°C.
