How much humidity does philodendron glorious need?
What actually works
What works, in order: a small humidifier nearby (by far the most effective), grouping plants together so they share transpired moisture, or standing the pot on a tray of damp pebbles (the pot base must sit above the water, not in it). A bathroom or kitchen with a window often suits philodendron glorious better than a living room.
