Philodendron Verrucosum care, propagation and pests

I share my experiences with growing this spidermites magnet of a philodendron.
The philodendron verrucosum, might be getting some bad press for the fact it is a spidermite magnet but it is still an awesome plant to grow in your house. And it can get huge

I just potted my verrucosum cuttings from moss into pon and it made me so nervous 😄 so that was the video I needed today! Thank you so much for your amazing content! 🙏

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Awww no problem, it should do well 😊 mine took a couple of weeks to adjust but when it did, it was all good ☺️

[@FeralSheWolf]

@@Houseplantygoodness Late but seconding for anyone else who happens on this... mine is absolutely thriving in pon. Putting out 3+ new leaves at any given time, no browning

[@deebee1326]

Thanks for pointing out their tendency to attract spider mites! They are always present at my place so I don’t need plants that are a magnet for them!

[@thecrystallak3]

I got this plant before watching any videos. Upon receiving it I decided to check out a few videos and then I got scared of everyone’s negative response to it. But honestly, this plant isn’t that difficult for me. I even have it in an airy soil mix and it’s pushing out a new leaf. So not sure why I am having an easier time with it but thankful I am! The plant is stunning especially like you said when the light hits it just right. Anyway, new subscriber. Enjoy listening to your plant wisdom!

[@mariecruz6484]

I love all the knowledge you generously share, but most of all, I love your giggle. It makes me giggle too! 😚

Love ya memo… your the best..

[@maryska1423]

hahaha 3:19 me too I was supposed to write to you that when I get a notification about your film - I'm cooking a miracle - / a few days ago my friends brought me a gift from Cyprus / carob coffee ♥ and watch over a cup of this coffee! Oh, I also have seeds that I'll start planting in February

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Yeah I think there are definately a few of us that are over carers / over waterers 😅😅😅😅 Ahhh that is awesome yeah carob trees grow like weeds in Cyprus, so the island makes loads of products from it. I didn't know they made a carob coffee, I have only every tried the carob honey. Ahhh cool yeah the seeds will love it. If you are planing on growing carob, then treat it like an olive tree, most times they grow side by side 🌳🌳

[@maryska1423]

@@Houseplantygoodness So she will love full sun and little water? Oh! It would be a wonderful tree in a pot (unfortunately it must winter at home)

[@viktoriarob176]

What is your soilmix? Thanks😊

[@maryska1423]

@@viktoriarob176 in the video description you have all the ingredients for the mixture and there is also a video about it

[@jonathonpotts5666]

I might give the pon a go, mine did great for a year but after going on holiday for 2 weeks and having someone else water it it has nosedived to the extent its now 20+ nodes in a propagator!

[@Houseplantygoodness]

oh no, sorry to hear that, but i feel your pain, mine was pretty much the same, so now have load of rooted cuttings.

[@aquaman461]

I've had nothing but issues with this plant here in S FL. I've moved it inside to the ac so hopefully cooler Temps will help stabilize it. Has anyone else had issues with neem oil burning the leaves? I sprayed for mites and next morning the leaves were 80% brown. Hoping for suggestions🙏 Thank you

[@anitajones7090]

Beautiful plant. It is on my wish list. However, I have two Alocasia plants (Polly & Black Velvet). No pest…yet. So maybe ai will invest, but they are expensive here in the US.

[@maryska1423]

in PL they were also very expensive recently - they could only be purchased from collectors. And today they are already available in plant stores and have very good prices / + - $ 50 /. I think if you wait, they will also come at good prices;)

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Definately agree, they were quite expensive here too for a long time and then they dropped in price, I am sure they will drop in price in the US soon 🤞🤞🤞

[@anitajones7090]

@@Houseplantygoodness thank you, I just bought today Alocasia Bambino and Crimson Queen Hoya, Coffee Tree Plant today 😊

[@stilljustliam9196]

I finally got rid of the spidermites on my alocasias 😭

[@davidmacdonald1579]

Is it normal for a new uncurled leaf be much paler than a mature leaf.

[@claire1880]

Bonjour et merci pour vos vidéos toujours intéressantes. J'aimerai consulter la chaîne dont vous parlez, en rapport avec les philos, seulement je ne comprends pas bien le nom. Pourriez vous me l'écrire svp ? Et aussi, purée, comment faites vous pour garder vos ongles ?? Depuis que je jardine j'ai du faire une croix sur ma manucure !! Je suis un peu jalouse de ça ! 😂 Je vous remercie et vous souhaite le meilleur, plante-friend ! 💚

[@tanya.quintieri]

Definitely a leaning curve with these guys…

[@Houseplantygoodness]

💯 Agree with you here, if you power through it and get it right in your environment, it is definately worth it ☺️

[@tannaward2]

I just bought my first rare philodendron verrecossum and it wasn’t rooted well like it was supposed to be. My question is what would be the best way to keep this baby alive?

[@Houseplantygoodness]

I have always has great success with propagations that fail, with my propagation box and using pon 😊

[@dewantoroo]

I found them really thriving in lower temperature. I'm struggling to keep mine happy, temperature at my place is around 28°-33°C.

[@Houseplantygoodness]

Yes I think you are right with this mine struggles a big in the higher heat too, I wonder if they grow at a higher elevation, so they prefer slightly cooler temperatures 🤔🤔🤔

[@dewantoroo]

@@Houseplantygoodness Maybe, i got mine from nursery on higher elevation than my place... The temperature is around 20°-25° C. They're thriving there. But probably it's also acclimating issues as well. Unfortunately seems like i can't figure out how to acclimate it to my place 🤣

[@jonathonpotts5666]

Yes mine grew well last winter when the max temperature at home was 21/22 Celsius, it provided excitement when other plants slowed or went dormant, i believe in the wild it grows most in the coldest season

[@junespears7564]

Can u do a video or do u already have one about the the long Plant behind you .I think you called it a esmaraldense.The long rippled plant.Thank you.

[@junespears7564]

I would also like to see the way the esmaraldense

[@junespears7564]

I would also like to see the way u are growing the Esmaraldense and Gloriosum and what u have them growing in.

[@louiseahmedtropicalplantgr5000]

I think I have the same P. Verrucosum as you, I got mine as a single stem cutting last year, and after an initial setback from root stem rot I've finally transferred it from sphagnum moss to coir. It seems to be doing better. How do you feed your P.V I saw another utuber gives it miracle gro? I'd like the plant to get bigger leaves

[@Houseplantygoodness]

I grow mine in Pon and I use a fertiliser here in the uk called liquid gold leaf 😊

[@louiseahmedtropicalplantgr5000]

@@Houseplantygoodness Is liquid gold a seaweed based feed?

[@littlebigfish9205]

What's that big shield shape leaves behind u ?

[@Houseplantygoodness]

So the wider leaf is gloriosum the longer leaf is esmeraldense, both philodendron

I have a question about verrucosum: Are you single? 😉
