Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light is best to maintain vibrant leaf color and healthy growth. Avoid direct sunlight that can scorch foliage.
Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to root issues, while letting the plant dry out completely can slow growth.
Soil: Use a well‑draining aroid or indoor potting mix rich in organic matter. Adding perlite or orchid bark improves aeration and drainage.
Temperature: Prefers consistent indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity promotes robust growth and larger leaves. Consider a humidity tray, pebble tray, or room humidifier if indoor air is dry.
Pet Safety
Philodendron ‘Billietiae’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children. Ingestion can cause oral irritation, swelling, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
