Gloriosum Philodendron (Philodendron gloriosum)
Gloriosum Philodendron is a collector favorite with oversized, velvety leaves that instantly make an indoor plant display feel lush and elevated. It is a great choice if you want dramatic foliage without needing a climbing pole, since it grows as a creeping plant that spreads across the surface of the pot. With bright, indirect light and steady moisture, it produces larger leaves and maintains a rich, premium look. If you want a statement plant that feels calm, substantial, and truly special, Gloriosum Philodendron delivers.
Distinctive Features
This philodendron is prized for broad, heart-shaped leaves with a deep green velvet surface and prominent pale veins that create bold contrast. Unlike many philodendrons, it grows as a terrestrial creeper, with the thick rhizome moving horizontally and sending up new leaves in a slow, steady progression. Leaf size can become impressive in good conditions, and the overall plant has a grounded, sculptural presence that reads as luxurious and refined. The soft texture and strong veining make each leaf feel like a design element, even when the plant is young.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Bright, indirect light is ideal, and avoid harsh direct sun that can scorch velvety leaves.
- Soil: Airy, well-drained aroid mix that stays lightly moist but never soggy.
- Water: Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil dry, and keep moisture consistent without waterlogging.
- Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity supports best leaf size and condition, with average home humidity acceptable.
- Growth Habit: Creeping terrestrial rhizome that prefers a wider pot to spread horizontally.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Feature in a wide pot where the velvety leaves and bold veining can be the centerpiece.
- Plant Stands: Place at eye level so leaf texture and veining can be appreciated up close.
- Living Room Accent: Use in a bright room to add a calm, luxurious tropical look without climbing height.
- Collector Displays: Pair with glossy-leaf aroids to highlight contrast between velvet and shine.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Keep soil lightly moist with partial dry-downs, and avoid letting the plant dry out completely for long periods.
- Pot Choice: Use a wider container so the rhizome can crawl, and avoid burying the rhizome too deeply.
- Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer at a moderate strength.
- Leaf Care: Dust gently with a soft cloth and avoid harsh wiping that can damage velvety surfaces.
Why Choose Gloriosum Philodendron?
- Velvety Statement Leaves: Large, soft foliage creates a premium, dramatic indoor look.
- Bold Veining: Pale veins add strong contrast and a refined, graphic pattern.
- Non-Climbing Habit: Creeping growth offers a unique form that does not require a pole.
- Collector Appeal: A standout plant that elevates indoor collections and decor.
Gloriosum Philodendron is a great choice when you want a luxurious foliage plant with a grounded, sculptural presence. Give it bright, indirect light, an airy mix, and steady moisture with good drainage, and it will reward you with larger, more impressive leaves over time. With a wide pot and gentle care, it becomes a lasting focal plant that brings a calm, high-end tropical feel indoors.

Solid and Helpful but left me wishing for a little more
Format: Paperback
I loved the first 8 chapters - the last three fizzled out for me. It makes me wonder if even the first eight chapters could've been abridged and the whole thing reduced to a pithy booklet.
That being said, the first eight chapters contain some excellent material that I will be incorporating not only into my own life, but into my toolbox of material to use in helping others. The best material for me was in:
> Ch. 6, "What Changes You?" - He has a simple, practical grid of the basic "Five Factors of Sanctification."
- Foundationally, God changes you.
- Secondly, The Word of Truth changes you.
- Third, Wise People change you.
- Fourth, Suffering and Struggling changes you.
- Finally, You change.
"Constructive change occurs through the interplay of these five factors: God, Scripture, other People, Life Circumstances, and the Human Heart."
"Foolishness either overcomplicates or oversimplifies."
> Ch. 2, "Is there One Key to Sanctification?" This is his great critique of the idea that there's a master-key to the Christian life, some fool-proof, secret principle that changes everything for everyone. We tend to think that the thing that revolutionizes everything for me, must be "the key" for everyone. But we're too complex and the Word and life is too diverse for there to be one master key solution. "Theological fads and fashions come and go" - but part of the counsel of God was never intended to give us the benefits of "the whole counsel of God." New days come and new challenges arise, and we have to keep on pressing on. Our variety of needs and the varieties of helps necessarily defy "reductionism." There is no single key.
"Progressive sanctification is about how we live in between God's laying the cornerstone and setting the capstone."
> Ch. 3, "Truth Unbalanced and Rebalancing" - If I might reword David's principle, slightly, In ministry, we over-emphasize one aspect of truth for the sake of application. In David's words, "Ministry unbalances truth for the sake of relevance; theology rebalances truth for the sake of comprehensiveness." We can only say one thing at a time and a person, practically, can only work on one thing at a time. So we make much of a single thing, and then always try to bring it back into alignment with the whole of life and the whole counsel of God.
"You do not build a house with only one tool in your toolbox when God gives you a truckload of tools. But you use your tools one at a time, the right tool for the right job."
"In the long run, a single truth harped on will disappoint even its devotees."
> 5. "We Are Sanctified By Remembering Our Justification." Throughout the book, David Powlison has been coming back to the concrete, recent example of a sanctification key, advocated by many: Remember the past grace of justification; Repreach the gospel to yourself every day; Realize that you are accepted by God because of the merits of Christ, not your own. In this chapter he highlights that this is certainly one of the tools in our toolbox - sometimes this is the very thing we need for progress in sanctification. But it is but one part of a larger whole. A greater point to always have in mind is that God is for us: He was, is, still is, and always will be for us. Don't just look to past grace, but also to present grace and future grace, as well as many other useful motivations.
David's personal testimonies in chapters 7 and 8 are rich. He weaves in the interplay of the five agents of change. Very good.
"There is a reason that 'Don't be afraid" (in all its variants) is the most common command in all of Scripture."
There is also a beautiful section in the last chapter describing the contrast between the peace of the believer exemplified in a text like Psalm 23, and the "anti-psalm" emptiness of the unbeliever whose life ends at the end of the valley of the shadow of death.
Very good, but a bit disappointing to me. Powlison is true physician of the soul. When he speaks I want to listen.
I would recommend Kevin DeYoung's, "The Hole in Our Holiness: Filling the Gap between Gospel Passion and the Pursuit of Godliness" as an additional and very satisfying book on this subject.

God Works to Deepen Faith and Enlarge Love
Format: Paperback
What a great little book! I hope you will pick up a copy, read it, and reread it. Don't be put off by its brevity (123 pages including end notes and indices). There is depth here. Powlison rejects a "one-size-fits-all" understanding of sanctification, calling for "multiple mundane examples" of Christian growth--calling, in short, for stories of real people in real circumstances, people in and through whom God works in a great variety of ways to deepen faith (vertical transformation) and enlarge love (horizontal transformation). There are several great "take aways" in this book: seven implications of the cross of Christ, five cooperating elements of sanctification, three features of the stories people tell when they describe how God works in their lives to bring about change, and, on top of that, three great stories of growth in grace. I highly recommend David Powlison's How Does Sanctification Work? It won't take you long to read, and it will repay the time you invest with multiple dividends.

Loving Self and Others Well as We Grow
Format: Kindle
This is an excellent discussion of how we ourselves change/mature and how we can love others well on their unique journey. And unique is stressed here - he's a counselor and well knows that people are unique and deserve and require unique counsel. We all receive love differently, in the specific moment and in the specific stage of life and circumstance.
His theology is sound and his writing is oh so very clear and beautiful. I almost weep with joy at some of his deep reflections. His "own story" chapters are very insightful as samples of how he and we move from a place we don't want to be (unloving and selfish) to where we can be (loving other well). It's less of a checklist of how to do this than an observation of what's happened in his life and others. It can give a teachable heart a boost of self-compassion and compassion for others.

Need people less, love them more.
Format: Paperback
I just finished this book. AWESOME!!!
I got the book simply because of the title and one phrase that hit me hard. "We have to learn to need people less and love them more."
The introduction is such that it gets you excited about what you are about to read. But then, the first few chapters, you almost feel as if you've been deceived. But he's just setting things up.
I don't think I've ever read a book that continues to get better as you read it. The best part of the book is the last section of the last chapter.
Get it. Read it. You will benefit. I promise.
Learn to need people less and love them more as you begin decrease your fear of man and increase your fear of the Lord.
