Pro Tip
This plant appreciates support. Adding a moss pole or stake not only helps it grow upright but can encourage larger, more impressive leaves over time.
-
Light and Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate medium light, lower levels will reduce growth and color intensity. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, especially younger ones. -
Watering and Care
Water when the top inch or two of soil is dry. Billietiae prefers lightly moist soil and good drainage. Like most philodendrons, it doesn’t tolerate soggy roots. Boosting humidity helps support healthy leaf development and prevent crisping at the edges. -
Growth and Size
This plant grows tall and somewhat vining, often developing leaves over 12 inches long indoors. A moss pole or stake is recommended to support upright growth. With care, it can become a dramatic vertical feature in your space.

Pet-Friendly?
Philodendron billietiae is considered toxic if ingested. It’s best to keep out of reach of pets that may chew on leaves. -
Benefits and Air Quality
As with many aroids, this philodendron contributes to improved indoor air quality by helping filter common household toxins while providing bold, natural style.

Difficulty level
Moderate – Best suited to plant owners with a steady care routine. Not overly demanding but benefits from consistent humidity, filtered light, and gentle handling of its long stems.
