Description

Philodendron billietiae x atabapoense, born from the union of two tropical species, is a climbing plant that offers lush foliage. This rather rare, elegant hybrid, fits perfectly into contemporary or "jungle" settings. Place it in a spot bathed in light, but not in direct sunlight, and maintain high ambient humidity. A stake or support is recommended to support its climbing vegetation and showcase its magnificent leaves.

Belonging to the Araceae family, Philodendron billietiae x atabapoense is a hybrid resulting from the cross-breeding between Philodendron billietiae, a species with pointed leaves discovered by Frieda Billiet in 1981 in French Guiana, and P. atabapoense, native to southern Venezuela and the Amazonian regions of Brazil, with narrow, elongated leaves. This perennial climbing plant exhibits rapid growth, typically reaching a height of 1.5 to 2 m in a pot, with a spread of 60 to 90 cm. Its elongated, arrow-shaped leaves can grow up to 60 cm in length and 15 cm in width. They feature a deep green upper surface and a burgundy underside. The petioles may display orange hues, inherited from P. billietiae. Indoor flowering is rare and discreet. Like many Philodendrons, this plant is toxic if ingested.

Philodendron billietiae x atabapoense finds a place in a bright living room, a tropical conservatory, or even a well-lit office. For an even more spectacular effect, pair it with a Monstera adansonii with its perforated leaves or a Philodendron micans, with its velvety and trailing foliage; these plants will create a stunning tropical display.

Location

Le Philodendron billietiae x atabapoense a besoin de lumière, mais ne supporte pas le plein soleil derrière une vitre. Evitez les courants d'air et les variations brusques de température. Une plage située entre 18 et 25°C lui convient, avec une bonne hygrométrie. Ses longues feuilles graphiques font mouche dans une déco urbaine-jungle, minimaliste ou bohème chic. Installez-le dans un grand pot en terre cuite texturée ou un cache-pot en métal noir pour un contraste moderne. Un tuteur en mousse sur lequel on guidera ses tiges permettra à ses feuilles de se déployer majestueusement.

Maintenance and care

Arrosez lorsque le substrat est sec en surface, sans laisser d'eau stagner dans le pot. Brumisez régulièrement pour maintenir une bonne humidité.

Potting advice, substrates and fertilisers

Rempotez au printemps, tous les 2 à 3 ans ou lorsque les racines commencent à dépasser du pot. Utilisez un pot légèrement plus grand.
Utilisez un mélange de terreau pour plantes tropicales avec ajout de perlite et d’écorces pour une bonne aération.
Apportez un engrais liquide spécial plantes vertes (NPK 10-10-10) tous les 15 jours du printemps à l’automne. Stopper les apports en hiver.

Houseplant care

Nettoyez régulièrement les feuilles avec un chiffon humide pour éviter l’accumulation de poussière.
Pruning is optional, but you can remove damaged leaves at the base. Trim the tips of the stems to encourage branching in spring.

Disease and pest advice

En cas d'invasion de cochenilles, nettoyez les feuilles avec un chiffon imbibé d'alcool à 70°. Pour prévenir les maladies, assurez un bon drainage et évitez les arrosages excessifs.
