Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum has broad, heart-shaped leaves with a velvety to matte surface and textured petioles. The foliage can appear dark green to bronze-green on top, with paler undersides that may show red-purple tones.

This species is native from Costa Rica to Peru, where it grows as a climber in wet tropical forest. Indoors, its scaly-looking petioles and soft leaf surface need careful handling, stable humidity, and space for new leaves to open cleanly.

Visible traits of Philodendron verrucosum

  • Leaf shape: Broad cordate leaves form a rounded, heart-shaped profile.
  • Leaf surface: Velvety to matte texture marks more easily than glossy Philodendron foliage.
  • Colour detail: Dark green to bronze-green upper leaves with paler undersides that can show red-purple tones.
  • Petioles: Scaly to hairy-looking petioles remain visibly textured below the leaf blade.
  • Growth habit: A climbing stem develops nodes and grows upward on vertical support.

Climbing behaviour of Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum climbs from node to node, producing aerial roots along the stem. A stable pole or plank keeps the plant upright and gives developing leaves space to open without rubbing against older foliage.

The velvet leaf surface responds quickly to handling damage, dry air, and pests. Place the plant where new leaves can unfurl freely and avoid brushing the leaf surface during routine care.

Care for Philodendron verrucosum

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps growth compact while protecting the velvet leaf surface from scorch.
  • Water: Water once the upper part of the mix has started to dry; soggy roots can lead to yellowing and collapse.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new velvet leaves unfurl without sticking or tearing.
  • Substrate: A chunky aroid mix keeps thick roots aerated and reduces wet-root stress.
  • Support: A moss pole or plank gives aerial roots contact points as the stem climbs.
  • Temperature: Warm, stable conditions reduce leaf deformation and root stress.

Common issues with Philodendron verrucosum

  • Stuck leaves: Low humidity can cause new leaves to catch, wrinkle, or tear during unfurling.
  • Dry edges: Crispy margins can come from dry air, irregular watering, or salt buildup in the substrate.
  • Pests: Thrips and spider mites can mark soft velvet leaves quickly, especially on new growth.
  • Root decline: Dense wet substrate can cause yellowing, limp leaves, and slow recovery after watering.

Botanical background of Philodendron verrucosum

Philodendron verrucosum was described by L. Mathieu ex Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1856. The name verrucosum refers to a rough or warted surface, matching the species’ textured petioles.

Safety note for Philodendron verrucosum

Like other Philodendron, this plant contains calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and children who may chew the leaves or stems.

Great Travel Towel !!
Color: Mint Color, Size: 72.00" x 40.00"
I travel for work. The last few years I've noticed the quality of hotel towels has gone downhill. I suspect that they are not replacing them as often to save money. So not only are hotel towels too small, they are thread bare, thin and scratchy. So I thought about bringing my own towel, but, it's not practical as they are heavy and bulky to pack, and they take a long time to dry. This Rainleaf Microfiber towel is the answer to my prayers. I bought the big one, 70 X 40. I tested it at home. It is kinda strange to dry off with it because it's different. Not bad, just different. It smooth but not soft and fuzzy like a cotton towel. BUT, it dries amazingly well. It doesn't even get that wet. It's more like patting dry then rubbing you dry, it you know what I mean. Once you get used to it, it works great. Even though is it huge at 70" X 40", it weighs less than 1 pound. Super small and great for packing. Corner pocket would be good at the beach for keeping valuables out of sight. It's my new go-to hotel towel. I may even bring it on my cruise !

Dries quickly and very portable
Color: Violet, Size: 72.00" x 40.00"
Dries you off quickly, is light weight, and very portable. I bought this to use for the gym, where we’ve been having to shower (instead of at home) as our water heater has gone out. Until we get it replaced we’ve been having to use the shower at the gym after our workout. I wanted a towel that would also be good for taking to the pool when I lap swim. This fits the bill. It dried me super quickly (less than 1 min I was fully dry). It didn’t weigh the towel down either. I got the extra large one, and I am 5’6” and it was plenty big to wrap around me while I was walking around to get dressed. It’s super easy to tie using the corners and it will stay put on you. I really like this. I will likely buy a few more in smaller sizes to use for hair, kids, pets, etc. it’s really good for the gym, showering on the go, and the pool so you can dry faster. I plan on using the smaller ones also for taking on a run in the hot Florida summer to keep the sweat from dripping. It doesn’t seem to have an odor, and time will tell if the towel’s silver ion feature works well, but this was worth the price in my mind.

Very compact, yet absorbent
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
This is a unique kind of towel that has very little volume and rolls up to a tiny size. It would be great for a camping trip, or any situation where size is important. It's also surprisingly absorbent, considering how thin it is. I use it for toweling off after taking a shower at the gym. I should also mention that it dries very quickly. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is kind of "sticky" when you're running it across your body. That takes some getting used to.

Great quality, and great performance!
Color: Purple, Size: 48.00" x 24.00"
Got this to take on a camping road trip where we camped at three different locations all around Arizona. Needed something that would dry quick, but also be absorbent to dry me off, and this exceeded my expectations. It’s a really nice brushed, cotton kind of feel, but dries quickly. Next time I will order a larger size though. I’ve had this one for a couple years.

Must buy for traveling
Color: Pale Rose, Size: 60.00" x 30.00"
Bought two of these towels for our trip to an all inclusive in Punta Cana, DR. I totally loved these towels and I wish I would've bought them before. This towel is super light weight and easy to pack. I bought the biggest size available and it was perfect. They dry very quickly and very convenient to use. It is not the typical towel so when you use It the first time it feels a little weird but you will end up loving it. It dries your body very well. It has a little loop that you can use to hang it so it can dry. I am 5'0 and couldve done the 24x48 size but I went with the 30x60 for both hubby and I.
