🧡 Philodendron billietiae
Rare Tropical Aroid – Long-Lobed Leaves & Orange Jungle Energy
The Philodendron billietiae brings full rainforest drama with its elongated, paddle-shaped leaves and unmistakable bright orange petioles (stems) that practically glow in good light.
This one’s a true collector’s favourite — tropical, architectural, and completely unique in form. It starts compact, but with time and support, it climbs into a wild, upright statement piece that makes any space feel like a botanical exhibit.
🧡 It’s basically the plant version of a flaming sword.
Care Tips:
• Bright, indirect light keeps those leaves long and petioles vibrant
• Loves warmth and high humidity, but can adapt
• Use a well-draining aroid mix — chunky is best
• Water when the top layer of soil is dry
• Give it a pole or support to climb for that iconic upright look
📦 Shipped rooted and thriving, grown with care in our custom aroid mix. Each plant is hand-selected for strong growth and healthy colour.

Philodendron billietiae - 12cm/25-35cm
The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Philodendron:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (30%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (5%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
Reviews
When I opened the box for this stunning Philodendron Billietiae, I was thrilled to see the size of it (said the Actress to the Bishop). Beautiful foliage, deep colours and is on a growth spurt! I adore this plant and will be buying from The Bearded Plantaholic again for sure.
