How I Grow Philodendron verrucosum | Repotting, Care & Propagation

[@aniliname]

Thanks for mentioning it's not like other philodendrons and to rather treat it like a calathea. I listened to a lot of bad advice on youtube and my plants suffered. Then I listened to the plant and realized the same thing you did. They have such fine roots and just aren't really comparable to other philodendrons in many ways.

[@BasiePlants]

Definitely not like other Philodendrons! Mine was droppy two days after watering last summer, I was so afraid I was rotting the plant but it would always perk up after watering. I checked the roots couple of weeks in to make sure I wasn't killing it and they were fine! So I relaxed, gave it more water than I usually would and it is still doing great! :)

[@kristadrummond5928]

My Vero was a gift and was a one leaf cutting. I believe it is the exact same as yours. I was not impressed but loved it because of where it came from. One year later it is growing well and I do love it sometimes but if I forget to keep it very watered it will wilt dramatically! I did just discover that the vero and 2 other similiar philos need poles because they are a tangle of growth. Thank you for the video and information. I think I will make this a priority this week because yours really did look beautiful when you were done. :-)

[@BasiePlants]

Thank you :) Yes, they definitely benefit from a pole! I do find some other aroids are quite annoying when not on a pole. I hope your grows into a magnificent beast too!

Your Verrucosum is FAB! I have noticed with mine it is needing a bit more water than I expected when I first got it, I only got it last autumn and it fast became a favourite 😁 it is a little slow with it's latest leaf but I started fertilising so hopefully he'll come on a bit more soon 🙏

[@BasiePlants]

Yes, definitely needs more water! Mine is quite fast to grow, but the cuttings are painfully slow. I kind of regret taking so many cuttings 😂

[@amyelizabethweafer]

[@NerdyKathi]

I think I'm going to watch this video a 1000 times, and just sigh over your verrucosum. She's a beauty, even if she is like a Calathea. 😂 Besides, I love Calatheas. I lost count of how many times I laughed in this video, but summoning Kaylee 🤣🤣😂. And Jack from The Shining 🤣🤣🤣 Genius.

[@BasiePlants]

I knew you would like it! But this is definitely a Calathea (or Goeppertia?) in disguise. 😂

[@Dinzla]

I had a verrucosum and it is, to date, the most expensive plant I’ve killed. It’s leaves slowly got yellow and fell off. It had 2 leaves left when I went on vacation and I came back to a pile of mulch. Seeing how good yours looks I’m tempted to give it another try. I do love the color and the veins but at the same time wish it didn’t have hairy stems..

[@BasiePlants]

My stems are not as hair - just a bit. Definitely not like squmiferum. That one is HAAAAAAIRY. 😂 I think this particular type of verrucosum (incensi) is probably the most resiliant one.

[@mathilda6763]

Heckendünger. ☺️ Maybe it's gonna make the philodendrons extra lush and full. At the moment I use orchid fertilizer for everything except rhododendron. I'm still a total noob when it comes to fertilizing but I assumed something good for orchids might be ok for other epiphytes too.😅 I like my verrucosum but compared to others philodendrons it's a little bit of a diva. I got a pot with 3 cuttings and with one of them I had problems with the petioles rotting off the stem. Really weird. The rest of the plant (i.e. the roots and stem ) seemed fine but the area where the leaves meets the stem just started rotting... like the plant was deciding they don't need that leaf anymore. I've got it in a mix of mostly leca with a bit of moss and bark and water it a soon as it starts to get slightly droopy.

[@BasiePlants]

That's interesting. I never noticed mine doing that. But I do agree it is a diva! However, I find that when I give it water regularly, it is fine :) Fertilizer... Eh, I think that is a long topic and I am also a beginner there. I have been trying several things in the past year, but there are so many things to consider!

Hi Miro, I keep my verrucosum in the terrarium but still worry about bugs. What is the first sign of spider mites that you will worry and start the treatment? I know that the visible webs are the sign that it's too late! Please advise.

[@BasiePlants]

The first sign I noticed is small dots on the front and the back - many of them, like discoloration of the leaf. It doesn't have that full, lush green color on the front and red on the back, but insead it looks like some kind of scrapping.

I have a small verrucosum I got as a cutting last year. I agree with you that they do prefer the roots to be wet or moist. I just transferred my plant from moss to coir compost.

[@xchicaqox]

As a German, I approve of your pronunciation 👌🏽😛😄 however, your osmocote said boxwood and hedges slow release fertiliser on the packaging. Does it work without problems on your house plants too? 🪴

[@BasiePlants]

If I had to read that 8 years ago, it would have been much better. My German teacher would not be proud now 😂 The package also says it's for evergreen plants. I checked the NPK and it's 17% nitrogen, 9% phosphorus and 11% potassium. It's a bit higher in nitrogen, but it also has micronutrients such as magnesium, copper, iron, boron, manganese, zync and molybodenum so it should be fine. I used it wih Philodendron squamiferum and 'Florida' and both are doing great - it's been over 6 months, so the effects of the fertilizer wore off by now, but I didn't see any side effects honestly. Probably better than me underfeeding them a lot. With lights all around they never stop growing for me, even in winter. I will report back though on how it does!
