Philodendron ernestii – Rare Climber and Care Guide

Philodendron ernestii Engl. is a rare and sought-after climbing species known for its deeply ridged, textured leaves and striking growth habit. Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, this epiphytic Philodendron thrives in humid conditions, producing large, dramatic foliage as it matures. With its bold appearance and easy-going nature, it’s a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts looking to add an exotic touch to their indoor jungle.

Why Grow Philodendron ernestii?

  • Distinctive foliage: Deeply grooved, textured leaves create an eye-catching display.
  • Strong climber: Benefits from a moss pole or trellis to support its upright growth.
  • Resilient and adaptable: Thrives in various indoor conditions with minimal effort.

Key Growth Insights

  • Native Habitat: Found in the rainforests of South America, growing as an epiphyte on trees.
  • Size and Growth: Can reach 1-2 meters indoors, with large, elongated leaves.
  • Growth Habit: Climbing, self-heading plant that benefits from vertical support.
  • Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals, making it toxic if ingested.

How to Care for Philodendron ernestii

  • Best Placement: Prefers a bright, indirect light location with moderate humidity.
  • Light Requirements: Grows best in bright, filtered light; can tolerate lower light but may grow slower.
  • Watering Routine: Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
  • Humidity Needs: Prefers high humidity (above 60%) for optimal growth.
  • Ideal Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C-28°C.
  • Soil Mix: Well-draining mix with orchid bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss.
  • Repotting Tips: Repot every 1-2 years or when root-bound to refresh nutrients.
  • Fertilizing: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every four weeks during the growing season.
  • Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings in water or soil.
  • Hydroponic Suitability: Adapts well to semi-hydroponic growing setups.
  • Pruning Advice: Trim older leaves to maintain shape and encourage new growth.

Common Issues and Solutions

  • Pests: Watch for spider mites, thrips, and mealybugs; treat with neem oil, or use beneficial insects.
  • Yellowing Leaves: Often caused by overwatering; adjust watering schedule.
  • Slow Growth: Low light or nutrient deficiency can slow development – ensure optimal care.

Additional Care Insights

Providing a moss pole or trellis will allow Philodendron ernestii to climb naturally, leading to larger and more structured foliage. Regular misting and proper air circulation will help mimic its natural rainforest environment.

What’s Behind the Name?

The genus Philodendron comes from Greek, meaning “tree lover,” reflecting its climbing nature. The species name ernestii honors the botanist Ernst Ule, who contributed to the study of tropical plants.

This book kept me guessing and housing until the end, it deserves five stars!
Format: Kindle
I started to read this book because my friend was reading it on the way to swim practice and I wondered what kept her so intrigued and unresponsive. I asked her about it and she told me what it was about and what was currently happening. I was already rather to start it. I bought it and immediately began to read. I read for about four hours straight- stupidly- no joke!! It was one of few mystery/action-adventure novels that are actually really unpredictable in great ways! All I could think about was the story as I say in middle-school today, wondering what would happen next. I would most certainly recommend this to any reader, wether out not they like mystery or not!

Awesome Information for Kids - History, legends and fun facts
Format: Flexibound, Format: Flexibound
Packed with interesting and entertaining facts and legends for kids (and adults but def geared towards kids). My youngest could only read in small doses because it’s A LOT of info packed on the pages. They really enjoyed learning about Barcelona’s affinity for giants, dragons, and good versus evil. So many fascinating tid bits got them excited about our summer trip (we are going to Barcelona!). Highlights: executioners would sell dead people’s shoes which the townspeople put in front of their houses to ward off evil spirits. Gaudi didn’t use straight lines because there are none in nature. He was so obsessed with the basilica plans he stopped hygiene and wore shoes made of woven plant roots. My kids loved the section on chocolate and candies (my vote is churros) and the tradition of the poop log 💩 Overall we really enjoy this book and it will join us on our travels. It got my kids excited to see the giant goldfish sculpture, see the sharks at the aquarium, the amusement park, fountains, statues and so many of the history rich areas of Barcelona. Highly recommend if you’re planning a trip with kids to get them engaged, or for a report for school, or just to learn about other places and cultures. Please note - this is not a travel guide for adults. No hotels, tours, prices etc are included.

Lots of great ideas and suggestions - but lacking some practical details
Format: Flexibound
Each of the 16 walks featured in this book have between 3 to 6 pages covering sights, tips and trivia. The graphics are very appealing with a nice variety of layouts and colors. My 5 year-old can’t obviously read this on her own, but she enjoys pointing to the pictures and hearing the descriptions about this amazing city that we’ve visited in the past. For self-guided trips, this book offers a way to get school-aged travelers with planning what to see and selecting foods to try. The book is not really geared for navigating/orienting other than just the starting point for the walk. The only map just inside the cover contains a view of all the starting points in relation to the city. The places featured within a walk seem laid out in a logical fashion, but you will definitely need another travel guide and/or smart phone to be sure you make it to the various destinations noted. I felt the book did justice to the awesome sights by Antoni Gaudi and I was pleased to find the Palau de la Musica Catalana also featured. The books is bursting with ideas for kid-friendly things to do. Even though it is geared to a younger audience, I am deducting a star as practical information seems to be lacking either in the section for the walk itself or in a summary/overview section. Examples of details I’d like included: a map view for the specific walk of where things are within relation to each other, the distance between sites, how much time to allow getting to each of the sites, how to best get to them (foot vs. public transit), the total distance of the walk, the minimum recommended time to complete the walk, and if there are walks that would be best grouped together for a full-day or half-day. As the book does not have these details, you’ll need to figure them out on your own and tailor it to what your family can manage.
