General Information and Care: Philodendron verrucosum is one of the most stunning species that Glass Box Tropicals offers. This is a rather easy to grow species in a terrarium as it loves the high humidity and medium to high light. The leaves coloration is what really sets this species apart and what makes it so desirable. However, this is a slight larger species that does best in at least an 18"x18"x24" tank or larger. The stems also tend to be covered in a fine pubescence which helps add to the amazing interest that this plant offers in a terrarium.
