Having successfully growing this gorg plant with a giant leaf… the key importance of keeping it happy n full green leaf is to mix 40/60 ratio of perlite n soil mix. The most important bit to keep this princess at its best shape is that it doesn’t like its roots to be disturbed. So, when u repot it, be very careful not to disturb much of this princess plant’s roots. Otherwise, the leaf will start showing yellowing tip around the leaves.
Also, it seemed to like shallow wide pot with a water puddle underneath the pot for extra humidity. She can tolerate a bit of dryness in between watering. So, she’s not that thirsty after all 😜.
I also find that her runner stem is best half buried w soil
Mind u, I’m growing her in my apartment’s living room in Melbourne, Australia. So, no need an enclosed greenhouse.
I water her with Seasol seaweed liquid solution (it’s not a fertiliser… more like supplement for plants) every two weeks for a month or so after repotting it. After tht, u can water her normally.
HEY EVERYONE THIS VIDEO SHOULD HAVE MORE LIKES!! Thank you so so much I love your long videos keep them coming!!
Awwww thank you so much 💚💚💚💚💚💚 glad you are enjoying 😀😀😀😀
I just bought a gloriosum with 6 (almost 7) leaves for only 5,99 euros in The Netherlands. So exiting that it's becoming more available!
Another utterly charming fact filled video. I love your indepth series on specific plants. It's such a great resource for my beginner indoor plant collecting journey. Thanks for all your hard work!
Awww thanks Shell so glad you are enjoying the content 😊 💚 🌿 🙏 don't worry more of the same will be coming soon
I love your videos and tour plants! You have so many really awesome and uncommon houseplants. I would love to see a video on plants that you would like aquire. Partly because I think you would have some plants on your list that I've never heard of unlike most wishlist videos 😅
I adore my Gloriosum, even though it is small. A very nice plant. In my home country Austria even the nearby garden center sells Gloriosum babies for about eight bucks. Different varieties of Gloriosum are available in german or dutch online shops for around 60€.
I wonder whether all the different varieties of Gloriosum are the same care-wise.
As for edema, I haven't experienced it with Gloriosum, but my Sp Colombia developed some after it arrived in my home. The plant arrived bone-dry and I had to give it a very good watering, maybe that caused a kind of shock. After it had acclimatized no such issues.
I love this plant! It was one of my first wish list plants but it took me a while to find one at a price I could pay. It is quite available in my local plant Facebook group which is my main source these days. I wish I’d found it sooner! I have the “dark”? Form, it’s narrow and white veined. I have cut the stem of mine in a few places to propagate it right in the long narrow pot it’s in. I got 5 activate nodes in 3 cut sections so that’s exciting. Hoping to trade soon for the round form. I have mine in plastic narrow window sill planter with aroid mix. It’s not the fastest grower but it’s steady. It took a beat to start sizing up but once it got about head sized it’s really gaining size with each leaf. I don’t let it dry completely, I use a moisture meter at 3 (now that I’m propagating a little wetter), and I think it’s so wet/dry tolerant from the thick petioles. It’s a sturdy plant with good pest resistance, no spider mites right next to my frydek gets them regularly. I think it likes a little morning sun and then ambient light on my patio. Stood up great to the cold snap but wouldn’t risk lower than 45-50F. I heard this is a land scape plant in Florida but I have never seen it out and about. 10/10 for me! Thanks for sharing everyone!
Gloriosum has been my slowest plant! It is FINALLY getting “established” and growing many new roots and I just got a new leaf that took forever to come out and now another us coming already!
In Australia they're starting to come into Bunnings which is our big box bargin hardware/garden store for about $30 -$35. I bought several and since its summer here they've gone gang busters 😆 some of my favourite plants, do yeah, recommend them if you live in Australia (Melbourne mostly I dunno about other states) to get some! (I have like....6? 🤣)
I love your videos. You tell how long its taken to get the plant where it is . Honest growth honest struggles. As a new planty I dont mind the wait. But when I see hugh plants with no idea it will take me to get there is frustrating.
Still rehabbing the Gloriosum i got from Ecuagenera…😁 it’s been about 2-3 months since it almost died after shipping… i am really glad to have watched your video… i enjoyed it a lot… lots of tips… thanks Memo… i hope you are having a fab almost weekend🎉🍾.
My plant from Ecuagenera looked like dead stick. I put it flat on the top of aroid mix and slightly watered once a week. After long waiting time (about 2.5 months) I found a small growing point. Now I have a big healthy plant.
Good luck!
@@agathan.944 thank you! I am glad to hear your story, i have a tiny growth on a wet stick propagation then the other half of the plant is slowly starting a new leaf😇… but yeah shipping kind of hit it hard… I can’t wait to grow a big gloriosum like you did…😇🌱
You should show your best plants! love your content.
Awwww thanks, glad you are enjoying 😊 💚🌿
I live in Italy, here i paid 12 euro for a gloriosum online and it arrived with 4 or 5 plants in a jar
I had to start from scratch - said the person in England growing a Latin American plant lol
Even in Canada, gloriosum is getting a lot more available. I keep seeing it on sell for fairly low prices. I think it is because all the clambers and crawlers are really easy to propagate, even at pretty juvenile stage or from wet sticks, just put them in a box with good light and you will get a plant in no time.
There is a huge surge of popularity for this plant, and I think Kaylee Ellen’s love for this plant definitely drove it up a lot. I keep telling me I should get this plant and I keep not getting it. I probably won’t have the space for it now and I kinda regret for passing it for so long
I’m going to order one. I feel confident after many years now of growing aroids. But it’s definitely not in stores where I live, in Southern California. But we know it’s widely available online, from numerous sources, and in many sizes; cuttings, babies to larger specimens… and not unreasonably priced anymore. It was, like you said, in the low triple digits during 2020, somewhere around… maybe a two-leaf plant would’ve been $100 or 200. Now it’s like a larger plant for that price. At least the last I checked… so I have never ordered plants online before, but I still have Etsy for other things. I’ve been studying various reviews of shops, buyers, etc. for a while now, just to (hopefully) better gauge my decision of sellers.
I picked up an 8 leaf baby in my local Blue Diamond UK for £9.99. Also managed to snag a 6 leaf fairly large Melanochrysum for £29.99. I can't wait for my gloriosum to mature 😁
yea i just bought one as the same price form blue diamond 😊
@@wildmushroomsuk9017 Nice one! Really nice specimens
Bought one (actually 2 in a pot with multiple leaves and already crawling out of the pot) for just under 5 euro . Unnamed but pinkish back of leaves , white veins and red edge of leaves. 4 months ago they were 25 euro for 12 in a pot. I am in the Netherlands.
Oh nice a getting Back Video Pretty cool. I have one too it's a Real slow grower but is really easy to care for. A new leave Took one month very long to unroll maybe it's because Winter time but heard it's normal to take this long and it's damaged :/ but it makes it unique💚. Got a dark form Baby too and it's like dead nothing happens it looses a leave and now over a month a new leave shines out the stam 😅💚. U need to be pretty Patient with this philo
Yeah I thought let's update on some of the reviews, but yeah they can be slow to get growing, never owned the dark form so not sure how that one is, but thanks for sharing your experiences too 😊 🙌💚🌿
This is off topic! But….. your septum and lobe jewelry is always amazing. Where do u get ur jewelry?
Awww thank you 🙏 😊 it depends really all over the place but my go to tends to be custom plugs and street h it jewellery 💚
Not me paying 600 dollars for a variegated banana then it died 1 month. I still want another...lol
I want one too 😭😭😭😭 so I fully get it 😅😅😅😅🌿💚
L💚VE KN💚WING AB💚UT ALL Y💚UR PLANTY RELATI💚NSHIPS!!! MY GL💚RIOSUM Is GR💚WING In A 4 Inch Pot Right Now... BUT You're Right...HE IS GR💚WING!!! I'm Also Thrilled To See That HE Is Getting A Deeper Green Color As Well!!! I'm Glad That You Touched On The Subject Of HIM Being A Crawling Plant... BUT At This Size HE Is STILL Growing Upright.
I bought mine not so long ago for 9.90 € in an Austrian big box store (5 leaves) 🍀
Hey Mimo I just chopped mine up, again. I don’t why but the growing end buried it’s self in the soil an started rotting. I think from being outside an back in the house due too winter didn’t help. Fingers crossed it comes back. 🤞🏽💚
Hey Sherry 😊😊😊 yeah they can do that sometimes, I remember when mine was younger I kept trying to pull the tip out, hopefully as you say maybe after winter it will start sitting itself out 🤞🏻💚🌿
@@Houseplantygoodness I hope so. Had it about 3 years an didn’t know the tip would push under the soil. I’ll know next time lol 💚
I got mine about 6 months ago, with three leaves. It came to me with the usual garden potting soil, and I placed it indoors...first mistake. The next day, it had oedema and the blisters you talked about on two of the leaves, the soil retained too much water and it wasn't able to evaporate as quickly in my indoor environment and the plant felt it. This was the first time I made the decision not to repot a plant immediately after getting it as well and I quickly regretted that decision. I reported it, and popper the two blisters, one lead ended up with obvious scarring while for the other one, I think because I popped it early enough, I was able to get rid of it before it got worse and so the scar was barely visible. I lost the oldest leaf but I was also growing a new leaf.
Fast forward to recent events, I found out the hard way that this plant tends to look fine on top even though half its root mass has already rotted. I blame winter for the most part because I was still new to plants by then and even though my area never snows, there's still a change in daylight that I didn't take into consideration, and a lot of my plants suffered from it, gloriosum included. When I discovered it was rotting, I made the soil more chunky. Checking in a few weeks to see that the rot was still happening. Okay... I repotted it into a big enough orchid basket with chunky soil, and I used its previous pot as a cover pot. Checked it a week ago and it didn't work, this time the roots were as bad as what roots typically looked like if they went through awful shipping - all secondary roots were mush and the primary roots were ugly brown. I decided I was over it and cut it away into three chunks. The leaf-bare chunk I planted in soil outside, and the other two with one leaf each in water (the second oldest leaf I previously had snapped in an unfortunate shelf accident, and the supposed-to-be fourth leaf got stunted growth due to winter, and it was just sad to see so I cut it off). One of the leaves on a chunk has yellowed now, and the other one (the most perfect one I grew before everything went downhill) was looking good until yesterday when there were some yellowing happening too.
I'm over this plant, honestly. I cannot gauge its watering and soil requirements because of its crawling growth pattern. It seems to like very fine but fast draining soil, like a coco peat and pumice mix perhaps. I'm saying that because it's the only thing I haven't tried yet, chunky soil clearly didn't work for it in my experience. I bought a glorious, and because that plant has hybrid vigor, is a climber, and doesn't need a solid support to root into according to other sources, I'm excited to get that one growing and maturing. I wish I could update this with good news in the future, but I think there'll be no other update other than of it dying completely
Can it be train to climb on a moss pole?
I had oedema on my philodendron splendid. Now it is in a selfwatering pot and I did not get it again, I hope it wont get it in the summer as well.
Yeah I found that moving my oedema prime plants to self watering really helps too. Hopefully yours flourishes in the summer 🤞🏻💚🌿
I've found the Phil. Hastatum Silver Sword to be very prone to oedema, especially with irregular watering. They don't normally appear as bumps, but as permanently wet spots on the leaves (think guttation except it doesn't go away anymore) that eventually start melting. Learned this one the hard way 🥲
Sorry im long winded I know. Im using voice to text, haha. But about the edema issue, & maybe it’s obvious, buuuut… That’s also a sign of substrate not drying out fully. Or, at least, enough for the plant to be happy. Wet-looking spots are indicative of the cell walls bursting. I.e., from taking in excess moisture, thus the cells can’t sustain it, so they burst and look like wet spots as you say. I’ve gone from adding drainage and inert substances to my soil mixes, to the opposite, adding a little organic matter to my DRAINAGE ingredients. Pure sphagnum moss is great for aroids. And many other plants. No true risk of rot, especially if you’re careful and monitor what you’re doing. Or, I’ll use perlite, pumice, pinch of osmocote, crushed lava, and then add a few handfuls of orchid bark and maybe ONE handful of soil.
Also, I know everyone has their successes and methods they learn to love… but about moss poles. Lol. People also act like moss poles MUST remain wet ALWAYS, if you have an aroid climbing, but I beg to differ. I’ve had pothos and philos grow all around my bedroom and kitchen walls, with no help from me, other than some occasional tape, hooks, or thumb tacks. And poor, northern exposure sunlight to boot. The ambient humidity from cooking was enough for the aerial roots. I actually stopped cooking so much and it didn’t effect them. And the “stickiness” of the paint on the walls was seemingly enough to stimulate them. I constantly had all the windows and doors open as well for airflow. It was never stuffy. So basically what I am saying… haha, the cell wall bursting can be traced back to not only the drainage of the potted substrate, but whether or not your moss pole is remaining wet (pole technically counts as part of the substrate). I’ve since switched to various planks, as well as just actual, real trees (I live in SoCal zone 10b), but also artificial bamboo poles. Theyre like…amazing. They’re $5-10 at my hardware store for the largest ones. They’re like eight feet tall, eight inches in diameter, and won’t rot ever. The grooves and little marks that are carved into them give the roots plenty to adhere to. I think like with planks, a drier, firmer surface helps the sticky roots to grip better and grow better. Moss poles are good, but they aren’t foolproof, and it takes time for the roots to really “get it” and dig in. A firmer surface is a bit more obvious to the plant, as is the case of my vines on the walls and ceilings, and tree trunks outside lol
Oh no--now ALL I can see is UA-camrs caressing their plants 😂
Long video.
