Live Philodendron Gloriosum Plant – 4–8" Starter | Large Heart-Shaped Velvet Foliage | Tropical Aroid Houseplant | Ships Without Pot

Bring a luxurious tropical look to your indoor plant collection with this live Philodendron Gloriosum starter plant. Highly sought after for its large, velvety heart-shaped leaves and striking pale veins, Gloriosum is a beautiful statement aroid for collectors and tropical plant enthusiasts. Unlike climbing philodendrons, this variety is a terrestrial crawler that grows horizontally across the surface of its growing medium. Your young plant is approximately 4–8 inches tall and ships without a pot. Because Gloriosum can be sensitive during transit, some temporary leaf damage or stress may occur while the plant adjusts to its new environment.
