How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Philodendron 'Majestic'
Philodendron 'Majestic' is a climbing hybrid of Philodendron verrucosum and Philodendron sodiroi, combining velvet texture, silver surface patterning, and warm colour on the leaf undersides. New leaves often open lighter before maturing into deeper green blades with a metallic cast. As the plant climbs, the leaves can become larger and more defined, especially when aerial roots are allowed to attach to a support.
Philodendron 'Majestic' was created by Keith Henderson and later named by Neil Crafter, and it has been accepted into the Aroid Cultivar Registry. The verrucosum × sodiroi parentage is visible in its velvet texture, silver patterning, warm leaf undersides and climbing growth.
- Parentage: Philodendron verrucosum × Philodendron sodiroi.
- Cultivar background: Created by Keith Henderson and later named by Neil Crafter.
- Leaf surface: Dark green, softly textured leaves with silver mottling and a subtle metallic sheen.
- Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with aerial roots that develop best against a vertical support.
A registered verrucosum × sodiroi hybrid
Philodendron verrucosum contributes velvet texture, prominent venation and warm colouring beneath the leaves, while Philodendron sodiroi contributes silver patterning and climbing growth. On mature leaves, the silver mottling becomes clearer against the darker green surface.
A moss pole, coir pole, or similar support keeps the stem aligned and gives the nodes contact points for aerial roots. Supported growth helps the plant develop larger foliage and keeps the climbing stem easier to train as it matures.
Light, humidity and support for Majestic
- Light: Provide bright filtered light. Avoid direct midday sun, which can mark the soft leaf surface and dry new growth too quickly.
- Watering: Keep the substrate lightly and evenly moist, then let the upper few centimetres dry before watering again.
- Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, pumice, perlite, coco chips, and a small moisture-retentive fraction.
- Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly and reduces crisping on soft edges.
- Temperature: Keep it around 20–27°C. Cold wet substrate can quickly weaken the roots.
- Support: Train the stem early and tie loosely at the nodes so aerial roots can attach without pressure damage.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. A steady low-dose routine is safer than heavy feeding for velvet-leaved hybrids.
Leaf and root warning signs
- Yellowing lower leaves with wet mix: Check drainage and root condition. Refresh compacted substrate if the pot stays wet for too long.
- Crisp new edges: Check humidity, watering gaps, and airflow around expanding leaves.
- Long gaps between leaves: Check light and support. A climbing stem stretches when it has weak light or nothing to root into.
- Dull or marked silvering: Check for dust, old surface damage, and pests on the leaf undersides.
Handling and pet safety
Philodendron 'Majestic' is toxic if chewed. Its tissues contain calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, digestive tract, and skin. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and handle cut stems with care.
Parent names and cultivar background
Philodendron is an Araceae genus native from Mexico through tropical America. The genus name comes from Greek roots often translated as “loving” and “tree.” The parent epithet verrucosum refers to a warty or roughened surface, while sodiroi honours Luis Sodiro, a botanist associated with Ecuadorian flora.
Philodendron 'Majestic' combines velvet texture, silver mottling and warm leaf undersides in a registered verrucosum × sodiroi hybrid.
