Philodendron gloriosum dark form

Philodendron gloriosum dark form has the crawling stem of Philodendron gloriosum, with deeper mature leaf colour. New leaves open soft and velvety, then harden into dark green, heart-shaped blades with pale veins across the surface. The contrast becomes clearer as each leaf firms after unfurling.

The surface-running stem continues forward across the substrate and should stay visible at the surface. A broad container, an airy mix and open space ahead of the active tip help the plant produce new leaves without the stem pressing against the pot edge.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form leaf colour

  • Leaf colour: Mature leaves develop a deep green tone across the velvety blade.
  • Vein contrast: Pale veins stand out clearly against the darker mature leaf surface.
  • Growth habit: The creeping stem travels across the substrate and needs room at the growing tip.
  • Leaf development: New blades open soft, then firm gradually as the surface hardens.
  • Family: Araceae.

How Philodendron gloriosum dark form develops across the pot

New leaves show the colour change clearly as they harden, with the surface becoming darker and the pale veins more defined. Each leaf emerges from the creeping stem and firms gradually after unfurling. The active tip should have open substrate ahead of it so new growth can continue in its natural direction.

A broad container gives the creeping stem room to move forward. The stem should sit at the surface, with roots growing below it in a loose, airy mix. This setup reduces rot risk around the stem and gives the plant enough space to build larger leaves.

Care for Philodendron gloriosum dark form

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light to support steady growth and compact petioles.
  • Cleaning: Dust leaves gently with a soft cloth; rough wiping can mark the velvety surface.
  • Stem position: Keep the creeping stem visible at the surface and avoid piling wet mix over it.
  • Substrate: Use bark, perlite, coco chips and a light organic base for an open root zone.
  • Watering: Let the top 25–35% of the pot dry before watering again, then drain thoroughly.
  • Temperature: Keep warm at 18–28°C and protect the root zone from cold draughts.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves open with fewer stuck tips or torn edges.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser diluted below full strength.
  • Repotting: Repot when the creeping stem reaches the pot edge or the roots have filled the container.
  • Propagation: Stem sections with at least one node can root in a warm, humid setup.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base and clear old, wet cataphyll material from the stem surface.
  • Mineral substrates: It can adapt to airy semi-hydro or mineral substrates if the creeping stem stays above the wet zone.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form issues

  • Brown leaf patches: Check for direct sun, water sitting on leaves or physical rubbing against nearby plants.
  • Pale, stretched growth: Move to brighter indirect light and check that the plant is not shaded by taller plants.
  • Stem rot: Improve airflow around the creeping stem and reduce moisture at the surface.
  • Stuck leaf tips: Raise humidity around new growth and avoid irregular drying while a leaf is unfurling.
  • Pests: Check the undersides of leaves and petiole bases for thrips, spider mites and mealybugs.
  • Yellow leaves: Usually point to heavy substrate, overwatering or a root zone that stays wet for too long.

Pet safety for Philodendron gloriosum dark form

Philodendron gloriosum dark form contains calcium oxalate crystals. Ingestion can irritate the mouth and digestive tract, so keep the plant away from pets that chew leaves.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form botanical background

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, a reference to climbing growth in many members of the genus. The base species Philodendron gloriosum was described by Édouard André and published in Illustration Horticole in 1876. The epithet gloriosum means glorious or splendid. In cultivation, the dark form name is used for plants with a deeper mature leaf colour than the typical green form.

Philodendron gloriosum dark form brings the species’ low crawling growth together with darker velvet leaves and pale, defined venation.

Buy direct from Sawgrass, not Amazon
Model: 500N BNDL
I'm giving the review based on the printer, Best printer Ive ever had, easy to setup and use. Ink for printer is expensive but worth it. Buy direct or another company besides Amazon when purchasing though, Amazon customer services wont help you with any issues.

Came with low ink!
Model: 500N BNDL
Will edit! - currently just opened the machine to get it set up and the machine says ink is low, all ink is low. When I used the Amazon trouble shoot chat all it did was say sorry and gave me a link to return. I just want this machine to work with there to be ink! It’s not like this was cheap, the ink that comes with should work and not be empty.

Works Beautifully
Model: 500N BNDL
I looked up videos on YouTube to get tips on using this as I'm a visual learner. I love using my Cricut and making tumblers, and as someone familiar with crafting, it felt second nature using this. Everything worked smoothly and nothing seemed out of place. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but if you're crafty, you'll settle in quickly. The print quality is fantastic, easily higher quality than my inkjet printer. The included “starter ink” gets you going, and replacements are easy to get online. You use the ink they provide which lasts a long time. The results speak for themselves, sharp, vivid, and professional looking prints every time. Definite recommend from me!

Way too expensive, but good quality. Monopolies do that.
Model: 500N BNDL
Makes great prints but is twice the cost of what it should be and the ink is ridiculously expensive. The "starter ink" that is included will prime the lines, but will immediately show you a "low ink" warning. So be prepared to almost immediately spend another $350 on ink. If you use unauthorized ink Sawgrass will lock up your printer and make it unusable. That monopoly is how they can charge so much. Cost is the downside by a longshot. Also - having to use their "Print Manager" slows down production by adding several extra steps after pressing print. Making our shop less efficient. That being said - the quality of the prints we get with Sawgrass is superior to other printers for sublimation.

Changed for the worse
Model: 500N BNDL
I have used my sawgrass SG500’s and an SG1000 for over 10 years with great success and made around 250,000 mugs and ornaments. As you can see, all the 1 star reviews are from this year for good reason. I wish I had read them before I bought a new 500 model. All my prints are now grainy. I have spent days online and it is normal with the new Print Utility and it seems to be the same for everyone in the last few months. I have been unable to find a fix and customer service is useless. It takes days of chat and emails to have what would be a 15 minute conversation. I don’t want to go through the hassle of learning a new system but unless I can get my issues solved in the next few days, I will. The actual printing is faster but it takes several minutes per print to set up. I have to spend about 4-5 times as long to set up a print as I did with the old Print Manager. Instead of spending a half hour to print my art each day, I have to spend at least 2 hours and I get a lower quality print. Unless they can get me set up to use Print Manager again instead of the new Print Utility, I’m getting a different printer.
