Philodendron Summer Glory, aka Philodendron gloriosum x McColley hybrid, is a visually stunning hybrid that combines the best traits of its parent plants into a vibrant and robust houseplant. This hybrid, bred by Lariann Garner, showcases semi-glossy foliage that begins with a striking coppery pink hue and dramatic purplish-pink venation. As the leaves mature, they transition to a deep, shiny green with subtle yellow-green streaking and a red leaf margin. The red cataphylls (leaf sheaths) that envelop the emerging leaves add an extra splash of colour, making each new leaf a delightful surprise. The plant's upright and arching growth habit allows it to make a bold statement in any indoor space, making it a favoured choice for enthusiasts and collectors.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Philodendron Summer Glory

Sun: Indirect

Philodendron Summer Glory should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

Philodendron Summer Glory will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When top quarter dry

Allow the top quarter of the soil to dry before watering Philodendron Summer Glory again. This usually takes about 3 - 4 days in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

Philodendron Summer Glory likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Philodendron Summer Glory is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Philodendron 'Summer Glory', a breathtaking hybrid that combines robust growth with stunning visual allure, making it a perfect showcase of nature’s capacity for beauty and diversity. This plant encapsulates the essence of a vibrant summer garden with its colourful, dynamic foliage.

The 'Summer Glory' flaunts an impressive array of colours in its lifecycle. New leaves emerge in a striking coppery pink shade, adorned with purplish-pink venation and pink undersides, creating a vivid display of warmth and vibrancy. As the leaves mature, they transition to a deep green, accented by faint yellow-green streaking and a bold red leaf margin. The red cataphylls that enfold each emerging leaf add a dramatic flair, underscoring the plant’s theatrical presentation.

Cultivated from the creative efforts of Lariann Garner, by crossing an unnamed Bob McColley Philodendron hybrid with a Philodendron gloriosum, the 'Summer Glory' is not only a testament to horticultural skill but also a symbol of innovation and the pursuit of aesthetic perfection in plant breeding.

To care for your Philodendron 'Summer Glory', position it in bright, indirect light to best capture the richness of its colours. This plant prefers its soil to dry out between waterings, emphasizing the importance of a balanced approach to hydration—enough to sustain vigour, but not so much as to overwhelm.

Its upright, arching growth habit allows it to stand proudly among other houseplants, making it a focal point in any indoor garden. As it grows, 'Summer Glory' maintains its lush, semi-glossy appearance, reminding us continually of nature’s endless creativity.

Welcome the Philodendron 'Summer Glory' into your home, and let it be a living piece of art. It’s not just a plant; it’s a celebration of summertime’s exuberance, a symbol of gardening mastery, and an inspiring reminder of the stunning beauty that thoughtful cultivation can achieve.
