About Philodendron billietiae
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

Philodendron billietiae may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.

How to fertilize Philodendron billietiae
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Philodendron billietiae after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My Philo Billie hasn't given me a new leaf in quite some time. He has a little sheath that's been there and not growing for months. I have him in bright indirect light near a West window and I water when the soil is dry in the top 2 inches, usually when Greg tells me to. Should I be watering more? More light? He got repotted when I got him, which was quite some time ago but not too long, so he should not be rootbound or anything. He seems healthy just not much new growth! Any care tips for this guy are appreciated!! 💚 #philodendron #philoflock #philodendronbillietiae #happyplants #plantaddict #planttherapy #jesssjungle

What’s wrong with my billietiae? My #billietiae has multiple yellow leaves and does not look happy. I water when the soil is dry and I have move locations multiple times to see if it would perk up but nothing. It was happy all summer. What should I do?

This leaf is *almost* unfurled! I'd say another day or two it'll be finished in all its glory! 😜 The new leaf has grown so fast and it's gonna be big. #philodendron #philoflock #philodendronbillietiae #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #newleafalert #jesssjungle #theamigos

#NewPlantAlert! I have been wanting a #philodendronbillietiae ever since I saw pics of one and now I have a beautiful baby. I got him from one of my fave local plant shops. I needed the name to be an alliteration with Billietiae, and Baphomet was weirdly enough the first B name that came to mind. 😈 #philodendron #philoflock #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantlove #theamigos #jesssjungle
