Philodendron gigas

Philodendron gigas is a Panamanian climbing Philodendron whose juvenile and mature leaves can look noticeably different. Young plants usually show smaller, deep green, velutinous leaves. Mature plants can produce much larger ovate to narrowly ovate blades on long petioles, with fresh leaves sometimes opening bronze or coppery before hardening darker.

This species grows as a wet-forest liana in Panama. Its appressed-climbing stems have short, thick internodes, semi-persistent cataphylls and velvety, moderately leathery leaf blades. Young plants stay smaller at first, then open up as the stem attaches and adult foliage develops.

Philodendron gigas juvenile and mature leaf traits

  • Juvenile leaves: Young plants usually carry smaller, dark green, velvety leaves before the adult shape develops.
  • Mature blades: Adult plants can develop larger ovate to narrowly ovate leaves with a matte upper surface.
  • Petioles: Long, near-round petioles carry the larger adult leaves away from the climbing stem.
  • Growth habit: An appressed-climbing stem benefits from a pole, plank or rough vertical surface.

How Philodendron gigas develops with age

Philodendron gigas can look restrained when young because the juvenile leaves have not yet reached their adult size or shape. As the plant matures, the blades lengthen, the velvety surface becomes more pronounced and the petioles create a more open climbing outline.

Young stems can be less firmly attached until aerial roots find a suitable surface. A moss pole, plank or rough support gives those roots a place to anchor and helps the plant carry its larger foliage more steadily.

Care for Philodendron gigas as a velvet liana

  • Support: Add a pole or board early so aerial roots can attach as the stem lengthens.
  • Light: Place in bright indirect light; too much direct sun can mark the velvety leaf surface.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new velvet leaves expand with fewer stuck edges.
  • Watering: Water after the upper 25–30% of the mix has dried, keeping the root zone evenly moist but airy.
  • Substrate: Use bark, coco chips, perlite and a moisture-holding base for drainage with some even moisture.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 19–28 °C, and protect from cold windows in winter.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser during active growth to support larger leaves and steady stem extension.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and repot when roots have filled the container or the climbing support becomes unstable.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one viable node; single leaves without a node will not produce a new plant.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten the vine or redirect growth, and remove damaged leaves without rubbing the velvety surface.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to mineral substrates such as pon, pumice, lava or LECA if transitioned carefully and kept evenly moist but well aerated.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate indoors, with larger leaves developing once the stem is warm, rooted and firmly supported.

Philodendron gigas velvet leaf issues

  • Stuck new leaves: Raise humidity and check that the plant is not drying out heavily between waterings.
  • Undersized adult leaves: Check whether the stem has firm support, enough light and active roots.
  • Leaf edge crisping: Look for dry air, irregular watering or heat stress near radiators.
  • Dull or marked leaf surface: Avoid rough wiping, check for pest activity and let dust lift gently with airflow or a soft brush.
  • Pests: Check petioles, leaf undersides and new growth for spider mites, thrips, mealybugs or scale.

Pet safety for Philodendron gigas

Philodendron gigas is toxic if ingested because the tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it out of reach of pets, especially while new leaves and aerial roots are easy to bite.

Philodendron gigas species background and etymology

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving, reflecting the tree-climbing habit common in the genus. Philodendron gigas was described by Thomas B. Croat and published in Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1997. The epithet gigas means giant. Mature plants can develop large leaves once the stem climbs and settles into adult growth.

Order Philodendron gigas for a Panamanian velvet climber that develops from compact juvenile leaves into large matte adult foliage.

Indestructible, but maybe too much?
Color: Orange, Size: Medium
Not too enticing for my dog, but, it is definitely indestructible! He chews on it every so often, but less than I had expected. I think the material is so rock hard that it offers little incentive for him to chew on it.

Best I've Tried
Color: Blue Shark, Size: Medium
With my pitty pup, there's no such thing as an indestructible toy, but this has been the most impressive so far. It's lasted days vs the typical minutes his new toys survive. It has a squeaker, but no fluff, and this has been great. He's been trying to get at if for a long time with no success! He has tore thru the rubber portion, but there's still plenty of play left in this toy. The 3 different textures keep him interested vs the hard material toys he rejects or chews on them too long and I worry about tooth wear. Definitely buying more.

Great product! Durable, chewable, awesomeness!
Color: Grilled color, Color: Grilled color
Very well made and durable. My dog hasn't left them alone since i opened them. Hes been at it for about 45 minutes straight now! Lol. He's an avid chewer. He will chew thru and fabric or cloth toys in less then a day. But these are what he really likes because they take time to chew apart. The shapes, are great, because one he props up with his paws and chews and it seems like it's easy to grip for him. Thru are hard so if you have hard floors it can get a bit noisy when he drops them. Over all this is a great product. Safe, chewable, long lasting, fun shape looks real to him (i think lol), Me and my dog Lucky are both happy with his new toys!

Amazingly great product!
Color: Grilled color
I’m not just saying this, ok, this is not hyperbole: this is THE best nylon bone for chewing that I have ever purchased. And you get TWO of them for relatively less expensive than most chew toys give you one! I have 2 golden retrievers, and if you know goldens, you know that they are some of the most relentless and powerful chewers around. So I can’t give them almost any toy other than rubber stuff or it will be destroyed in a period of time that doesn’t make it worth it. One of them even figured out how to destroy a supposedly indestructible toy made out of kevlar! She was able to get into it through the seam, which is not kevlar ha ha. Anyway, I digress; I never even considered nylon chews because they suck! Usually. Usually my dogs in the past have lost interest with them in less than a day. I took a chance on these mainly because of the novel shapes, the fact that they give you two, and the low price. Both my goldens LOVE these! Not just for one day, but going on weeks now! I don’t know if it’s the flavor or what, but I will see them gnawing on one of them at some point every day. And they CAN’T destroy them (I knew nylon was good for that, but it was the “who cares” attitude of my previous dogs toward nylon that kept me away). Both the “ribs” and “steak” (quite clever) are a bit worn on the edges now, but they look like they will be around for years. You can’t go wrong with this product (unless for some reason your dog does not like the flavor, but the flavor seems to be what draws my dogs to them). I highly recommend this (these) as the most cost-effective chew toy I’ve ever purchased.
