4” Philodendron ‘Black Billietiae’
The Philodendron 'Black Billietiae', a rare and captivating houseplant, showcases elongated heart-shaped green leaves adorned with striking orange stems, making it a distinctive addition to any indoor space. This perennial vine hails from the lush rainforests of South America, where it thrives amidst warm temperatures, high humidity, and dappled sunlight. To ensure its well-being, provide proper support for climbing, such as a moss pole or trellis, and ensure the soil is moist but well-drained to prevent overwatering and root rot. With its preference for bright, indirect light reminiscent of its native habitat, this Philodendron benefits from exposure to small periods of direct sunlight, particularly in the morning and evening, while avoiding harsh, prolonged exposure. When it comes to watering, maintain consistent moisture levels by allowing the top one to two inches of soil to dry out between waterings, adjusting frequency based on seasonal changes. Ideal temperature ranges between 65 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 27 degrees Celsius), with humidity levels ideally between 60% to 80%, mimicking its natural rainforest environment. During the active growing season of spring and summer, apply a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month, ceasing fertilization during fall and winter to avoid potential burn. With its stunning foliage and architectural interest, Philodendron 'Black Billietiae' offers an easy-care option for plant enthusiasts, thriving in both bright, filtered light conditions and lower light environments, and adding a touch of nature's beauty to any home.
