Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ 69686

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’, still widely known in cultivation as Philodendron 69686, develops deeply three-lobed leaves with a long, narrow central lobe and slim side lobes spreading from the upper part of the blade.

This cultivated hybrid has unknown original provenance and was formally published under the cultivar name Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’; 69686 remains widely used as its collection and trade reference. Mature growth carries short internodes, long cataphylls, dark green petioles and semi-glossy divided blades. As the stem climbs, the leaves can gain size and show the narrow-lobed shape more clearly.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ leaf shape and growth habit

  • Leaf shape: Deeply three-lobed blades with a long central lobe and narrow, spreading lateral lobes.
  • Growth habit: Scandent vine with short internodes and aerial roots along the climbing stem.
  • Name note: Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ is the cultivar name; 69686 is the collection and trade reference.
  • Leaf texture: Mature blades are dark green, semi-glossy and firm-textured.

How Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ leaves mature

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ was found in the Roberto Burle Marx collection and introduced into cultivation in the United States by Bette Waterbury.

A settled specimen can produce longer petioles, thicker stems and better-defined lobes than a juvenile plant. The narrow central lobe becomes the dominant part of the blade, while the side lobes sit at a wide angle near the base.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ support and climbing care

  • Support: Add a moss pole, plank, or textured stake early so aerial roots can attach as the stem lengthens.
  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct sun can mark the leaf surface, while very dim placement slows leaf size development.
  • Watering: Water when roughly the upper 25–35% of the pot has dried. The roots need moisture with air around them, not a constantly wet pot.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, perlite, coco chips, pumice, or similar mineral pieces so roots can breathe between waterings.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new lobed leaves unfurl cleanly during active growth.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally around 18–28°C, and protect it from cold draughts and chilled windows.
  • Repotting: Move it up one pot size when roots fill the container or the plant dries too quickly after watering.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, avoiding heavy doses on dry roots.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node; aerial-root sections usually establish fastest.
  • Pruning: Trim long or uneven stems above a node if you need to control height or encourage a cleaner climbing shape.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro setups if the cutting or rooted plant is transitioned gradually and the crown stays above the reservoir line.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ leaf and root problems

  • Small new leaves: Usually linked to weak light, no climbing surface, or an underfed root system. Improve light and give the aerial roots something to attach to.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Check the root zone first. A dense or wet mix can hold too much water around the lower stem.
  • Damaged new growth: If leaves tear while opening, raise humidity slightly and keep the support lightly moist during active root attachment without keeping the pot constantly wet.
  • Stem lean: A larger plant can become top-heavy. Secure the stem loosely before it pulls away from its support.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets. Wear gloves when cutting stems if your skin reacts easily to aroid sap.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ etymology and cultivar history

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”. Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ was formally published as a cultivar name by T.B. Croat in Aroideana in 2022, honouring Bette Waterbury, the first President of the International Aroid Society.

Miracle in a mask
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1), Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I'm going to start this by saying I'm *really* not used to things just.... working.... as advertised. Especially when it comes to skincare. That said, after ONE USE I saw a noticeable difference in my skin. I've had notoriously aggravating combination skin my entire life- but this mask is the FIRST time anything has effectively evened that out. Granted, this is only 1 use, but to have such a dramatic increase in hydration, improvement in under eye puffiness and dark circles, and my skin no longer feeling tired/dull? Beyond impressed. The glow lasted about 5 days! No smell or weird textures/residues, works amazingly, and so easy to use. Tips: - Sleeping in this is definitely not as comfortable or easy as social media makes it out to be (esp for side/belly sleepers). So back sleeping or bust IMHO. You absolutely need to wait at least an hour after applying it before trying to sleep in it so it starts to mold to your face. - This mask has a CRAZY cooling effect. For my ND girlies with the tism, keep that in mind and find something to occupy your mind while it calms down. By the time it's ready to come off, it feels "normal". - Use the mouth hole piece for the space between your eyebrows and the eye hole pieces on your nasolabial folds. - I used scissors to make tiny slits in the areas that needed to sit more flush with the contours of my face - The material is very forgiving and allows you to place it, move it, and mold it before it starts to really stick to your face. That said, it is very thin/fragile! So if you have to fuss with it, do so very gently. Make sure all edges and corners are flush to your skin. - Helps to tilt your head back a wee bit, place it at the center, lay it on your skin, and then smooth it from the center outwards. You'll see if you have bubbles under any areas so you can smooth those out before it starts to dry. - I've seen some influencers say to just let the remaining product absorb into your skin after you take the mask off, but I couldn't fathom slapping primer and blush over that so I washed it off. The pic i posted is before i washed my face, about 10min after removing the mask (mind my RBF, no coffee yet lol).

Nice mask! Caviar
Scent: PDRN, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1), Scent: PDRN, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
The first 3 pictures were taken after the first hour and a half. The second 3 pictures were taken at 2 hours. The mask had a hard time dissolving underneath my eyes and around my chin area mostly but everywhere else it hardened within the first hour or so. I will try to wear it for longer than 2 hours next time. To see if that changes, but my skin feels really nice right now. It's a little sticky, but it looks healthy and has a nice glow. Application is easy. I love that its separated into 2 parts. Doesn't fit well around the nose between the eyes and doesn't cover my entire face but its a great mask. I tried the caviar one this time. I have the collagen ones as well but these have better reviews. They seem to work effectively, for a nice glow and self pamper session.

Loved by a skeptic!
Scent: Collagen, Size: 4 Count (Pack of 1)
I hate face masks but I absolutely LOVE this one. I usually get sensory overload from any type of mask very quickly and even if it’s a short one I hate dealing with the pilling or stickiness of the residue after when you put on your face lotion. This one left my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed even though I only wore it for 30 minutes and my makeup was flawless afterwards! I will definitely buy again!

One of the Most Promising NAD Serums I’ve Tried
Scent: Red Effect Serum, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Red Effect Serum, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
At 52, post-menopausal, with mature dry skin, I pay close attention to ingredients that may support healthier-looking skin over time. I’ve been using topical NAD-related products for a couple of years now, so this category is not new to me. I’ve tried more expensive options, including brands like Aramore, and until recently many NAD-focused products were priced much higher than this. That’s one reason this serum immediately caught my attention. Abib has been around for years and has built a very strong reputation in Korean skincare. They are known for quality formulas, thoughtful textures, and products that feel modern without being gimmicky. Seeing a trusted Korean brand working with NAD made trying this an easy decision for me. It’s important to be realistic and informed here. There is still limited scientific evidence specifically around topical NAD/NMN use compared with more established skincare ingredients. I think honesty matters. This is not a miracle ingredient that instantly transforms skin. But it is absolutely one of the ingredients to watch as skincare continues evolving. What matters most to me is how a product performs in real life, and this one performs well. The serum feels lightweight, smooth, and easy to use without any heavy fragrance. It absorbs nicely without heaviness or stickiness and layers well with the rest of a routine. That matters because the best serum is the one you’ll actually use consistently. And consistency is the key with products like this. You should not expect dramatic overnight changes. This is more about steady long-term support: helping skin look smoother, fresher, more hydrated, and better maintained over time. I also like that this formula includes astaxanthin, a respected antioxidant often discussed for helping defend against environmental stress and supporting overall skin vitality. Paired with NAD-focused ingredients, it gives the formula a more complete feel rather than relying on one trend ingredient. With regular use, my skin looks healthier, more even, and well cared for. It gives that subtle polished effect I value more than exaggerated promises. Who is this best for? Ingredient-conscious skincare users, people interested in newer longevity-style skincare trends, mature skin, anyone wanting antioxidant support, or those curious about NAD products without paying luxury prices. Who may not love it? If you only want ingredients with decades of established topical data, you may prefer more traditional actives. If you expect dramatic overnight changes, this is not that kind of product. What stands out most is that this makes a newer category feel accessible. Trusted brand, smart formula, fair price, and the kind of steady results that come with consistent use. A very impressive serum from a brand that continues to do things well.

High Concentration PDRN
Scent: PDRN, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: PDRN, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love K-Beauty skincare, and Abib is one of those brands I am genuinely obsessed with. They consistently focus on thoughtful formulations and skin-friendly ingredients, which is exactly what I look for. I’m in my early 30s with combination skin, and since I use a lot of actives (acids, retinol, etc.), I need products that support my skin without feeling heavy or clogging. This PDRN booster cream is such a standout: ✔ PDRN (15,000 ppm) – Helps with skin repair and gives that subtle plumping effect over time. ✔ Peptides – Support firmness and elasticity, especially in areas like smile lines and forehead. ✔ Retinal – A more advanced vitamin A that helps smooth texture and fine lines. ✔ Barrier-supporting ingredients – Keeps skin comfortable and balanced despite active ingredients. The texture surprised me — it’s richer than a serum but still absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy. 💭 My experience: This makes my skin feel instantly smoother and more hydrated, but the real magic is how it improves texture over time. My skin looks more refined and slightly plumper, especially in areas where I tend to lose hydration. ✔ No heaviness ✔ No breakouts ✔ Works well in an active-heavy routine Abib just gets it — effective ingredients, elegant formulas, and results you can actually see.
