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.

Will not be disappointed
Color: Black/Blue
Keeping in mind that I received this item yesterday (2/24/16), I absolutely love this watch. The reason I have so much confidence with this watch is because I've owned one other Timex similar to this one, and it served me extremely well and is still able to do so. First off, this watch is certainly aesthetically pleasing. The blue color around the face of the watch and outline in the band, goes really well with the black frame. It's just an overall nice looking watch. More importantly, the quality seems great. As I mentioned, I've owned a Timex expedition, which I've had for more than 2 years, and it's still working perfectly fine. The watch seems like it's put together very well and there's no loose or flimsy parts. One complaint that many people seem to have with Timex is the quality of their band. Unfortunately I'd have to agree, since the band on my other Timex that's still working like the first day I got it, cracked and broke and is only being held together by the nylon fabric on the other side of the band. You're not going to have that problem with this watch. It's a full nylon band with Velcro adjustment, for precise fitting. it feels extremely comfortable and you won't need to worry about the band cracking (although I'm sure there will be certain defects in a mass produced bunch). I will use this watch for work and running, and rarely plan on taking it off. Just to give you an idea, I also have a garmin gps watch that I love and obviously has more functions than this watch. However, the second I received this watch, I slapped it on and put my garmin to the side. This watch also looks amazing when you wear it. I'll update this feedback as needed, but I'm confident this watch will serve me for years to come, just as my other one has.

Greatest watch I've ever had, but changing batteries is near impossible
Color: Black/Blue
This is the 3rd time I've bought this watch. Same brand, same or very similar model. It has a chronometer, timer, alarm, and of course the clock. It has something I think is for "occasions" but I don't know what it does and don't really care about it. The watch is durable. It uses battery power efficiently. The indiglo is second to none. I just really really like this watch.
Having said all that, if you want to change the batteries, good luck, you'll need it. Once you manage to get the backing off of it and open it up (which is a little tricky in itself), it's like a comedy routine where you see some stooge open an electrical device and a buncha parts and springs go flying everywhere. And of course, they are so tiny, you'll never find them once they fly out. That was the exact scenario I found myself in the last time I tried to change the battery. It made me so mad I actually bought another brand of watch that I thoroughly researched. But that watch DIDN'T use battery power efficiently, and it had a host of other minor problems that added up to the conclusion that it was not nearly as great as this Timex. So, for the 3rd time, I found myself buying this Timex watch.
So it's a wonderful watch in every way except longevity because changing the batteries has historically been a nightmare for me.

A better Ironman design
Color: Black/Blue
I've been a fan of Timex watches for most of my life, paying about $30 for one in the 1960s, and that hasn't changed at all in 2010 because I'm still paying about $30 for my Timex watches. It is a rare case indeed when the quality of a product continually improves over several decades while the price remains the same. And as John Cameron Swayze would say in those live ads during the early years of TV, "Timex takes a lickin and keeps on tickin".
The MEGA deserves a good review after I have been using it for a while. You might also see it advertized as the "Oversize" because most distinctive about this design is its size, so tagging it with the name MEGA is entirely justified. It is massive in comparison to most of the other Ironman series of watches, and what seemed at first to be just another unnecessary Ironman 30 Lap design has turned out to be one of my favorites for all-around wearing. This new design keeps the clockworks of the standard size 30 Lap Ironman watches, it counts up and down, programs the same, has several alarms, and of course, it has the Indigo night light that works so well.
This is one of five different versions of the Mega available in the USA, and the only one with a Fastwrap Velcro wristband with blue striping and a matching blue bezel. Velcro wristbands are a favorite among many athletes and when it wears out, it can be replaced with either an identical factory band or one that is made of urethane rubber.
Overall, the Mega is a good choice for runners in need of a new 30 lap Ironman who can appreciate having a watch that is distinctively larger and what I would consider to be much better in appearances over the others of standard or mid size Ironman dimensions.

this is the perfect daily everyday use digital watch........
Color: Black
hands down the best edc digital watch available, this watch is everything you need at a quarter of the cost of other digital watches. we all know the durability of iron man watches its legendary, but where this watch beats even other iron man offerings is the size of the digital numbers displayed a bit larger for aging eyes and what makes it even more durable than the other iron man watch's is that the instructional labeling of the buttons is under the glass and wont fade or rub off under use making it look cleaner and newer for longer. now lets mention the size or foot print of this watch, i own several watches from competing brands and almost once a day i hit the watch on something a door knob a table corner, but when I'm wearing this Timex 40mm i never hit it on anything due to the thinness of the watch.
