Glass Box Tropicals Philodendron verrucosum

While it is classified as easy to care for, it does have specific environmental needs. As long as you can provide the required high humidity and medium-to-high light, it is a very rewarding plant for those new to tropical species.

It thrives best in high-humidity environments, which makes a terrarium or glass cabinet the ideal home. While it can adapt to other setups, you will see the best growth and leaf development when humidity levels are consistently high.

This is a larger-growing species, so you should plan for a tank that is at least 18 by 18 by 24 inches. Giving it this vertical space allows the plant to mature properly and showcase its unique foliage.

Upon arrival, place the cutting directly into a high-quality substrate like sphagnum moss or a specialized terrarium mix. Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged to encourage healthy root development.

It requires medium to high light to maintain its vibrant coloration and healthy growth. If you are keeping it in a terrarium, ensure your grow lights are sufficient to support tropical foliage plants.
