This is incredibly helpful, especially with all the deceptive marketing and mislabeling out there. Thank you and keep up the awesome videos!

Hi!! Thank you for this video!! You explained it quite well!! I thought I ordered a regular gloriosum, but it's a dark form! The new off shoot does indeed have a pink hue to it!

Hope you create more vids in identification of plants. :)

Where are you located? Seems like Gloriosum dark form/white veins/zebra (white veins with extra veining) are coming more available!

[@TheUrbanJardineraPH]

Thanks for the video! If the dark form has a round petiole, how do you differentiate it with glorious? Knowing glorious is also in darker shade (due to its melano origin) and also has round petioles?

[@tomwaterfall5423]

Hi there! Good question but there's a few things to tell them apart. Glorious is most definitely a climber, I have one in my collection on a moss pole. It has a vertical growth habit and uses sulcate canals/cataphylls to grow vertically. The P. Gloriosum forms have a large stolon that will crawl across the top of the potting medium. Furthermore, and I know this might not be easy to tell with smaller plants, the P. Glorious definitely has leaves that elongate considerably when the plant is grown past it's small immature stage. The Gloriosum forms don't tend to have elongated leaves, they increase with size but stay round. If you have a search on Instagram for P. Glorious hopefully you can see. If you have any further questions give me a follow @waterfallplants and drop me a message and I can help!

I heard about Gloriosum Zebra and Pink Back. Are those another cultiva of Gloriosum Dark Form?

[@tomwaterfall5423]

Hello Nhung, they seem to be different forms yes. You have Gloriosum 'White Veins', Gloriousum 'Zebra' and I have seen 'Pink back' too. It's worth bearing in mind that a lot of these are just names given to the plants by shops to describe specimens with certain characteristics. I actually have a P. Gloriosum 'Zebra' now which looks very different to a regular/dark/white veins form. I am not so sure about the 'pink back' as most Gloriosum show pink abaxials when new leaves emerge. Hope that helps!

Thanks for such videos! Pls kindly do a video on anthurium especially how to differentiate between magnificum and crystallinum and their hybrids, if u search for these contents there is less availability. Already subscribed. Thanks keep updating.

Can you please help to identify a philodendron anderson? It’s supposed to be a cross between pink princess and white knight. They’re mainly only available from Indonesia now and it’s difficult to identify by a photo especially on a small specimen. Thanks!

Could you do a video how to tell the difference between a gloriosum and a glorious?

[@tomwaterfall5423]

Hello Alicia, the key and obvious differences between the two are that P. Glorious, owing to the P. Melanochrysum parentage, is a climber. It has a central stem and will grow vertically, looking for something to climb such as a moss pole. P. Glorious leaves are also more elongated (longer) and pointed compared to P. Gloriosum. The P. Gloriousum is a crawler/terrestrial Philodendron which has a large and chunky stolon (stem) which crawls along the top of the potting mix, rather than climbing. If you drop me a message on Instagram (@waterfallplants) I can send you a photograph of my plants side by side if that helps. Cheers!
