Philodendron billietiae is a very popular and highly sought after climbing Philodendron species. This plant is known for its unique orange petioles and long green foliage.
Philodendron billietiae loves to climb and will do so vigorously! Make sure to grab a coco pole or provide it with a support structure of your choice! If this plant is not allowed to climb, the leaves will stay on the smaller side until it finds something to attach to.

This plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow your plant to dry out about 3/4 of the way before watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water. Provide it with bright indirect light.
