# Any tips to care for this beauty? How do I clean her leaves? Any…

_Posted by Gilly on 2025-08-20_

Any tips to care for this beauty? How do I clean her leaves? Any specifics on watering and light?? And how should I repot her? Thank you so much in advance! She was so beautiful I just couldn’t leave her but I should’ve done my research….

Happens when you just meet a plant you need to have. I believe velvet philos are more susceptible to fungus etc. also I put moss in the base of mine and she’s enjoying (mind u I have a glorious)

Typical philo care but gloriosum prefers moderate to low light and they are crawlers rather than climbers so when you repot her you want a wider pot so she has room. She absolutely gorgeous!!

When it comes to watering, I would invest in a moisture meter to avoid overwatering it.

Thank you all! I’ll definitely look into a moisture meter as well as a more spacious pot! I’ll be spraying her down every week and I’ll be wiping the leaves every three days! I’m deathly afraid of spider mites… I couldn’t take it if they spread to the rest of my babies!!
