Philodendron luxurians Croat, D.P. Hannon and R. Kaufmann – rare velvet-leaf aroid with silver veining

Philodendron luxurians is a compact velvet Philodendron from the lower montane rainforests of Chocó (Colombia) and Esmeraldas (Ecuador), described in 2010 in Aroideana. This terrestrial to semi-scandent species is treasured by collectors for its thick, soft-surfaced foliage in deep emerald, marked by prominent silver-white primary veins. In nature it often grows on shaded, mossy slopes with consistent moisture, transitioning from a creeping juvenile stage to semi-climbing maturity when given vertical support.

What makes Philodendron luxurians unique

  • Plush leaf texture: Thick, velvety lamina with shimmering silver venation and subtle bullation from raised secondary veins.
  • Manageable habit: Typically 60 – 90 cm tall indoors; mature leaves can reach 30 cm wide without dominating small spaces.
  • Growth shift: Creeping juvenile form produces broader, more architectural leaves when semi-climbing on fine-fibre supports.

From Chocó’s cloud-forest edge to your indoor collection

  • Origin: Chocó (Colombia) and Esmeraldas (Ecuador)
  • Elevation: 400 – 1000 m in lower montane rainforest
  • Habitat: Shaded slopes and mossy understories with year-round humidity, often near tree ferns and understorey palms.
  • Inflorescence: Pale green to white spathe with a green spadix; rarely produced indoors, of botanical interest only.
  • Toxicity: Contains insoluble calcium oxalate; harmful if ingested.

Care guide – keeping Philodendron luxurians thriving

  • Light: Bright, filtered light for full leaf expansion and strong colour; avoid harsh direct sun.
  • Water: Keep substrate evenly moist; allow the top 2 – 3 cm to dry between waterings.
  • Humidity: ≥70% maintains leaf turgor and prevents edge crisping; stable humidity is key for velvet quality.
  • Temperature: Optimal 20 – 28 °C; avoid rapid fluctuations and cold drafts.
  • Substrate: Airy aroid mix (~35% fine orchid bark, 25% sphagnum moss, 20% perlite, 10% compost, 10% horticultural charcoal) for moisture retention and drainage.
  • Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser at 25 – 50% label rate every 4 – 6 weeks in active growth; adjust to growth pace, not calendar months.
  • Support: Fine-textured moss pole or tree fern fibre slab encourages vertical growth, shorter internodes, and larger leaves.

Leaf development and support

Juvenile leaves are smaller, softer, and less prominently veined. As the plant matures and climbs, blades broaden, secondary venation becomes more defined, and the velvety surface develops a richer depth. Appressed contact with a damp, textured support improves water flow and leaf size.

Propagation and growth notes

  • Propagation: Stem cuttings rooted in moist sphagnum moss or water before moving into substrate.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Adaptable with gradual transition; stable high humidity is essential.
  • Pruning: Remove senescent or damaged leaves to maintain airflow and encourage fresh growth.

Common issues and solutions

  • Leaf browning: Low humidity or erratic watering; increase humidity and stabilise care routine.
  • Slow growth: Improve light intensity (still filtered) and maintain regular feeding.
  • Pests: Watch for thrips, spider mites, and mealybugs; treat promptly with targeted controls.

Safety

Contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals; avoid ingestion and contact with eyes or mouth. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

The hungry mini schnauzer
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I bought this hat for my husband, twice. He loved the hat, and the dog did too. My dog Lola, ate the hat twice. With these cold, snowy New England days and nights, this hat was so warm, soft and felt great on his head, it was perfect until Lola decided if anyone would have it, it would be her! Is there any way you could possibly replace this hat??

Pure 100% Cashmere Beanie for Men - runs very small.
Size: One Size, Color: Black
A soft cashmere which is ribbed. However it is advertised as a Mens hat but size is very small for a man. Would be a better fit for a petite woman. Looks here like it has a turn up ribbing at bottom, but it does not.
