🌿 The Philodendron billietiae is a true statement plant, admired for its bold foliage and striking contrast of colours. What sets this species apart are its long, narrow, arrow-shaped leaves in a rich, glossy green, combined with its signature orange to deep reddish petioles (leaf stems) that make it instantly recognisable.

🌸 While flowering is uncommon indoors, the Philodendron billietiae can produce inflorescences typical of aroids: a pale green spathe surrounding a cream to pale yellow spadix. These blooms are more often seen in its native habitat or greenhouses, usually during the warmer months, and are not the plant’s primary feature.

📏 In the right indoor conditions, this plant can reach an impressive height of up to 1 meter or more, especially when provided with a support pole to accommodate its upright growth habit. However, it's also a fantastic candidate for tabletop display in its younger stages, where its exotic foliage already draws attention.

💧 In terms of care, this Philodendron is relatively easygoing but appreciates a bit of extra attention. It thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining, airy potting mix. Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry before watering again. It responds well to moderate humidity and regular but light watering, without letting the roots sit in soggy soil.

⚠️ Note: As with many aroids, the Philodendron billietiae is considered toxic if ingested, so it should be kept out of reach of pets and small children.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 25 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 12 cm.
