Philodendron billietiae

Philodendron billietiae is a climbing hemiepiphytic species with yellow-orange to greenish yellow petioles and long green blades. The petioles add the main colour contrast, while the leaves lengthen into a narrow, slightly pendent shape with subtly wavy margins.

The petioles are erect-spreading and the blades are pendent. A mature plant can fill space around the pot as the petioles push outward and the long blades drop slightly from their tips.

Philodendron billietiae petioles and leaf shape

  • Petioles: Leaf stalks are pale yellow-orange to greenish yellow.
  • Leaf shape: Long, narrow blades can hang slightly as they mature, with a lightly wavy edge.
  • Native range: Native to the Guianas and Brazil’s Pará region.
  • Growth habit: Appressed-climbing hemiepiphyte, sometimes recorded from rocky growth sites.

Philodendron billietiae habitat and container shape

Philodendron billietiae grows in tropical rainforest habitat across the Guianas and northern Brazil. Its combination of spreading petioles and pendent blades gives mature plants a wide, open shape in the pot.

Mature plants can develop thick stems, short internodes, large spreading petioles and long blades that hang away from the stem. In a container, the plant needs pot weight, root aeration and enough side space for the petioles to extend naturally.

Philodendron billietiae care for pot balance and roots

  • Pot balance: Use a stable pot as the petioles lengthen. A lightweight pot can tip once the leaves gain size.
  • Watering: Water after the upper 25–35% of the pot has dried. Let excess water drain fully so the lower mix does not stay wet.
  • Light: Place in strong filtered light so the plant can size up without direct sun marking the long leaves.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18 °C, and protect from cold draughts or sudden temperature drops.
  • Substrate: Choose a coarse aroid mix with bark, perlite, pumice, coco chips, or charcoal to keep oxygen around the roots.
  • Support: A pole lets aerial roots attach along the stem and helps keep larger leaves stable as the plant climbs.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps long new leaves open without edge damage, especially on warm, fast-growing plants.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Avoid strong doses on dry roots or freshly repotted plants.
  • Repotting: Repot when the root mass is firm and active. An oversized pot can keep the lower mix wet too long.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the base of the petiole and trim old cataphyll remains once they loosen naturally.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node; warm, humid conditions support new root growth.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Established plants can adapt to mineral substrates if the roots are transitioned gradually and kept oxygenated.
  • Growth rate: Growth is moderate to fast in warmth, strong filtered light and an airy root zone.

Philodendron billietiae petiole and root problems

  • Drooping petioles: Check watering first. A thirsty plant drops quickly, while a plant in wet soil may droop with yellowing leaves.
  • Brown leaf edges: Look for dry air, irregular watering, or mineral buildup in the substrate.
  • Weak new leaves: Check light and stem support. Small or poorly expanded leaves often follow low light or interrupted root growth.
  • Pests and leaf spots: Check undersides and petiole bases for thrips, spider mites, or scale; remove affected leaves if spotting spreads.
  • Root stress: A sour smell, blackened roots, or slow yellowing usually means the mix is too dense or staying wet too long.

Philodendron billietiae contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets, and avoid contact with sap when pruning if your skin is sensitive.

Philodendron billietiae etymology and description history

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”. The species epithet billietiae honours Frieda Billiet, and Philodendron billietiae was described by T.B. Croat in Novon in 1995.

Interesting book about the flag that inspired the National Anthem
Format: Hardcover
Our Flag Was Still There: The True Story of Mary Pickersgill and the Star-Spangled Banner, written and illustrated by Jessie Hartland, was released just last month. I requested it from the library months ago... Unfortunately, it didn't make it to my hands before I published my 4th of July booklist, but I have it now, and it's wonderful! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our Flag Was Still There this tells the story of the flag that eventually our National Anthem. While I knew the story of Francis Scott Key’s inspiration, I didn’t know anything about the actual flag that he saw, nor did I realize that I’ve seen it myself. I didn't realize how big it was, how long it took to make, or that it was made largely by a group of women. And then I read this book! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But this story is about so much more than just a flag. Through her words and illustrations, Hartland gives a little information about America's independence and the War of 1812, which led to the commissioning of this extra-large flag. We meet the widow, Mary Pickersgill, and her family and indentured servant, who worked together to make this enormous symbol of our country. Hartland introduces the British attack of Fort McHenry in Baltimore. And then we see Key, who witnessed the attack from a boat and penned a poem in honor of the victory and the American flag that was still flying proudly over the city. Finally, we learn about how Key's poem eventually became our national anthem, as well as what happened to her famous flag between 1814 and present-day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yes, Our Flag Was Still There teaches a little bit of history, but it also honors hard work and women from a time in history from which we know mostly men. I appreciate the relative simplicity of the illustrations, as many historical picture books have so much going on in the illustrations that it's hard to know where to look. Like me, you may appreciate knowing the history of the flag behind the song and the realization that you've seen that flag before (in the Smithsonian Museums)!

The story of a very big flag that inspired a song and a nation
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
Major George Armistead wanted to send a big message to the British, on their way to capturing Baltimore. It was 1813 and once again America and Britain were at war. Major Armistead wanted to say to the British: This land belongs to America. He needed a flag, a big flag, a flag over forty feet across. But who could make such a huge flag? Mary Pickersgill could. With the help of the women in her shop, Mary Pickersgill did. This is the story of the enormous American flag that now hangs in the Smithsonian. It's a reminder of Major Armistead's desire for America to be free. It's a reminder of the Star-Spangled Banner, our national anthem inspired by this flag. What a wonderful tribute to this flag and the flag makers. I love the storytelling and the illustrations of Jessie Hartland.

Not very detailed
Format: Hardcover
Cute illustrations, but I wished it would have went into a little more detail to be more informative for my kids. It was pretty simplistic.
