The Creeping Masterpiece in Pink and Gold

Philodendron gloriosum is one of the most famous terrestrial aroids, creeping along the forest floor of Colombia on a thick horizontal rhizome. The 'Tricolor' cultivar is a masterclass in somatic mutation, displaying green, cream-yellow, and soft pink variegation. Unlike most climbers, gloriosum crawls, and its large, velvety leaves are highly sensitive to soil depth. The tricolor variegation is highly sought after and requires rich, organic, well-draining soil and shaded bright indirect light to maintain its colorful display.
