Philodendron Gloriosum ‘Zebra’ – A Rare, Crawling Masterpiece

Some plants demand attention without even trying. The Philodendron Gloriosum ‘Zebra’ is one of them. With its velvety, deep green leaves traced with bold, silver veins, this plant doesn’t just sit in a corner—it owns the space. Unlike its climbing cousins, this ground-growing beauty slowly creeps forward, unfurling one jaw-dropping leaf at a time.

If you’re looking for a rare statement piece that brings a slice of the rainforest into your home, this is the one.


What Makes the Gloriosum ‘Zebra’ Different?

It Crawls, Not Climbs – Most Philodendrons are eager climbers, but the Gloriosum ‘Zebra’ prefers to stretch its rhizome (that thick, root-like stem) along the soil’s surface. This means it’s happiest in a wide, shallow pot, where it can naturally spread out.

Slow Growth, Stunning Payoff – If you love watching plants evolve, this one is fascinating. Each new leaf starts as a delicate, rolled-up scroll, gradually unfurling into a velvety masterpiece with even more defined variegation than the last. The process is slow—but that’s part of the magic.

Collector’s Status – The ‘Zebra’ variety is even rarer than the standard Gloriosum. Its exaggerated vein contrast and slightly elongated leaf shape set it apart. If you want a true collector’s piece, this is it.

A Living Work of Art – With its heart-shaped, velvety leaves that can grow over a foot wide, this plant brings immediate tropical elegance to any space. Its unique creeping growth habit makes it feel like a mini rainforest floor unfolding in your home.


How to Keep Your Philodendron Gloriosum ‘Zebra’ Thriving

This is a medium-maintenance but high-reward plant. Here’s what it needs:

Light

Bright, indirect light is best. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, while too little will slow down its already slow growth.

Watering

It prefers consistently moist, but not soggy soil. The trick is to let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again. Overwatering = root rot, so make sure your pot has good drainage.

Humidity

This plant thrives in humidity—ideally 60% or higher. If your home is on the drier side, consider:

  • A humidifier
  • A pebble tray with water
  • Occasional misting (though not directly on the leaves to prevent fungal issues)

Soil & Potting

A well-draining, chunky mix is essential. Orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss make a great blend. Avoid dense potting soil—it can suffocate the roots.

Since this is a crawler, a wide, shallow pot (rather than a deep one) will let it spread naturally.


Is It Pet-Friendly?

Unfortunately, no. Like most Philodendrons, it’s toxic to pets and humans if ingested. If you have curious cats, dogs, or toddlers, keep this beauty out of reach.


Why You’ll Love Having One

Statement Piece – It’s a conversation starter. That deep green, velvety texture? Those bold veins? People will notice.

Picture-Worthy – If you love photographing your plants, the drama of each new leaf unfurling is pure plant-lover’s gold.

Slow, But Worth the Wait – There’s something rewarding about watching it develop at its own pace. It’s not a fast grower, but when it does push out a new leaf, it’s an event.

Perfect for Any Space – Whether on a shelf, plant stand, or low table, its crawling habit makes it a unique addition that won’t take over your space.

If you’re a collector, a foliage fanatic, or just someone who loves unique plants, this one belongs in your home.

Couldn't put Ida in the Middle down until the end
Format: Hardcover
Ida in the Middle so vividly captures the point of view of a girl not only sorting out feeling like and being treated like an outsider in a new school, but her relationship with her immigrant parents, her younger and older sister (she is in the middle), and her growing awareness of her family's community in the Middle East. It is is warm novel of feelings, friendship, and the magic transport to the "Its A Wonderful Life" alternate reality of what being in 8th grade would be like if her family had stayed in the village where her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins still live. It is also a novel, like those set in other wartimes, that exposes hard realities. Descriptions of her alternative private school in the US and watching the "Arabs Got Talent" music competition on TV have some of sly wit of Where'd You Go, Bernadette, but the learning that Ida and the reader develop about both the community ties and the danger and dehumanization of checkpoints, home demolitions, and raids takes the book to another level of complexity and empathy for difficult circumstances and choices. Throughout, Ida's viewpoint as a 13-year-old trying to understand the world around her is fresh and appealing. She proves to be an unexpectedly level-headed protagonist as the plot carries her into danger and into new readiness for action. Through the course of the novel, both the reader's and Ida's empathy grows for the desperate situation of Palestinian farmers whose land is under siege (and of all living under occupation), for parents' struggle over the choice to remain out of the country, and for the daily decisions to claim joy and pleasure even if it entails contradictions. Ida left me energized and inspired, and ready to gift this book to the middle-grade kids I know, and also to my teacher friends who keep books in their classrooms for students to read.

A "magical" story of Palestinian life in the West Bank
Format: Hardcover
This young adult novel by Nora Lester Murad focuses on the quandary of a Palestinian-American teenager, Ida, who is learning about American culture while her extended family in the West Bank must cope with Israel’s many policies that discriminate against Palestinians. As Ida ponders how to fit in better at her school and a topic for a school assignment, she is magically transported to the land of her ancestors where she soon finds herself in a difficult situation. The novel explores several aspects of these policies, including the demolition of a friend’s home due to her family’s inability to get a construction permit. In between these difficult situations, there are some twists and turns that remind the reader of the importance of family and friends. This novel will help to validate the experiences of Palestinian youth who are "caught in the middle" like Ida. Readers of all ages will gain new insights into conditions for Palestinians living in the West Bank and how these pressures impact the daily lives and futures of Palestinian youth. (A teacher’s guide is available, which will be especially helpful for those unfamiliar with the situations described in Ida in the Middle. )

A must-read to shed light on the experiences of Palestinian-American children
Format: Hardcover
I picked up this book not knowing what to expect. What I ended up with was a rich and beautiful telling of the experiences of a young Palestinian-American girl who is trying to find her voice in a world that misunderstands and silences her. She is the hero that so many students need to hear about. Ida in the Middle beautifully weaves history, culture, and hope together for an empowering story of justice.

We are past due for Palestinian American heroines!
Format: Hardcover
Such an engaging read for this adult. How many books for older children have a Palestinian American main character as engaging as Ida? Not since Amani in "The Shepherd's Granddaughter" by Anne Laurel Carter (2010) or Liyana in "Habibi" by Naomi Shihab Nye (1997). We need diverse books and MORE of them. They are good food for discussion.
