Philodendron gloriosum ‘Variegated Type 2’ (Established Non-TC Clone)

6" Pot - Not grown from tissue culture/stable genetics. A rare variegated form of the much-loved crawling Philodendron gloriosum. Type 2 is known for its unpredictable marbled and mottled variegation, with shades of cream, mint and pale green moving across deep green, velvety leaves.

Each new leaf is a bit of a reveal, with variegation ranging from fine speckling and marbling to larger splashes and sectors. Like all gloriosum, this is a terrestrial crawler rather than a climber and appreciates a wide pot, chunky growing mix, bright indirect light and good humidity.

A seriously beautiful collector Philodendron with incredible texture and constantly changing foliage.

Light: Bright, indirect light. Good light helps maintain strong variegation, but avoid intense direct sun.

Water: Water when the top 1–2" of the growing mix has dried. Keep evenly moist but never soggy.

Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix with plenty of airflow around the roots.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally 50–70%+.

Temperature: 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F.

Growth Habit: This Philodendron is a crawler, not a climber. A wide, shallow pot or rectangular planter gives the rhizome room to travel.

Feeding: Fertilize lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.

Good to Know: Variegation will vary naturally from leaf to leaf. Higher-variegated areas contain less chlorophyll and may be more sensitive to strong light and drying out.
