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.

Sweet Outer Banks romance
Format: Paperback
jenn mckinlay, what did you DO to me?? 😭
the concept alone had me hooked from the jump. hannah and simon each inherit 50% of their grandfathers' beloved beach cottage in cape split, nc, a place steeped in a love story that predates them both. it's a little wild, a little whimsical, and somehow completely believable, and i was fully obsessed with every second of it. forced proximity + shared inheritance + uncovering a hidden love story buried in the walls of an old cottage?? sign me UP.
but here's the thing, and i really mean this, this book hit way deeper than i expected from a romance. it's about grief, and found family, and what it means to finally let yourself put down roots somewhere. it gave me total emily henry vibes in the best way. like yes there's a slow burn, yes there's swoony moments, but at its core it's just… really beautifully human? the community around the Split felt so lived-in and warm and i genuinely didn't want to leave it.
and i have to be a little biased here, i grew up going to the outer banks and i go back almost every summer still, so reading about the NC coast and all those familiar atmospheric details just hit DIFFERENT for me. 🥹 i could smell the salt air. i could picture every scene. it genuinely felt like coming home in the best possible way.
if you love emily henry, abby jimenez, or any book that makes you feel like you've found your people, please pick this up.

emotional contemporary romance
Format: Kindle
The vivid descriptions from the start of The Summer Share by Jenn McKinlay had me instantly invested in the story. Who doesn’t love relaxing with a romcom and dreaming of the summer days ahead?
Independent Hannah and her Great Dane, Dude, are trying to leave their nomadic lifestyle behind. Since she’s inherited her grandfather’s fishing cottage in the Outer Banks, she thought that would be a good place to start.
However, Hannah didn’t expect to find someone fishing off her dock when she arrived, and to find the condition of the cottage worse than she expected. Apparently, Simon had inherited fifty percent of the property from their respective grandfathers, and there are conditions in the wills that neither one was aware of since they didn’t know they had a partner—in more ways than expected—and didn’t fully own it. The next two months should definitely be interesting!
There are some laugh-out-loud moments in this contemporary romance, with sparks flying and glares. Friendly neighbors are willing to lend a helping hand or share a bit of gossip. Hannah and Simon try to recreate some of their grandfathers’ activities and favorite pastimes. We get to meet Simon’s family, and his father was hard to like. He was all about what he wanted and what benefited him.
The book had plenty of romance, steamy moments, release of grief, and lots of reminiscing. The ending is satisfying with a happily ever after, as dreams do come true when you are true to yourself.
The Summer Share is an emotional contemporary romance with highs and lows but also a happy ending.

Hannah, who is a traveling national park influencer, is looking forward to staying one place for a while.

The two immediately butt heads, but must live together during the summer before finally agreeing what to do with the house. As Hannah and Simon uncover long held secrets, they begin to grow close as they navigate their grief.

The topics of infertility, death of a loved one, and toxic family members is dealt with thought-provoking relatability. Add this to your summer reads list immediately!

Great beach read!
Format: Kindle
This is a great beach read! Hannah is a travel influencer, touring the country in her vintage van with her Great Dane, Dude. She was thinking about settling down in a real home for a while when she inherited a beach house from her Pops. As she arrives, she unexpectedly runs into Simon, who is under the impression that it is his house, left to him by his Gramps. When the lawyer arrives to explain things, it turns out that they each own 50% of the house. In order to inherit, they each must spend at least two months living in the house and there are a few other stipulations included. Neither of them is happy about the situation, as Hannah wants to live there, and Simon wants to sell. As they meet people in the neighborhood, they find out there is a lot they didn’t know about their grandfathers. The characters are quite well developed and interesting. I enjoyed watching their relationship develop.

A little greasy, stains hands, smells great
This tanning lotion is better than Planet Fitness lotion, but I am giving it time since I just started using it, but I can tell it smells delicious, lotion as well. A little greasy for my liking but it gets the job done! Make sure to use a glove as the stuff can stain your hands!!! The lotion goes on like BUTTER! 🧈
