Philodendron billietiae is one of the most striking members of the genus. Its leaves are long, narrowly elongated, and deeply wavy along the margins, reaching impressive lengths as the plant matures. What makes it immediately recognisable are the petioles: a vivid orange-yellow that contrasts sharply with the deep green of the blade and adds a tropical boldness that few other Philodendrons can match. As a hemiepiphyte it climbs vigorously when given the chance, and a support will encourage larger leaves and a more structured plant. It is a strong grower once established, and its distinctive foliage makes it a standout piece in any collection.

Origins
Philodendron billietiae was first collected in 1981 by Frieda Billiet in French Guiana. 

Soil and Substrate
Philodendron billietiae needs a loose, well-draining substrate that allows roots to breathe between waterings. Our Monstera and Philodendron Premium Potting Mix is peat-free, hand-blended in Yorkshire, and formulated specifically for climbing Philodendrons. It contains worm castings for steady nutrition, and the right moisture retention for vigorous tropical growth.
