I think it’s a Philodendron Gloriosum

Looks like a Philodendron gloriosum to me.

That looks like a philodendron summer glory. Philodendron gloriosums have a darker leaf and more of a velvet texture. I keep my philodendron under a grow light for 12 hours or a window sill works too. I water when it’s about 25-50% dry and fertilize about once a month or honestly when I remember haha.

I looked up a summer glory and that’s exactly what it is! Thank you so much 😊

It looks like it’s low on fertilizer. The older leaves are usually darker. These are always striking. I just don’t have room for the size they get.
