Philodendron scandens ssp. oxycardium ‘Frilly Philly’ is a stunning and rare vining plant with uniquely ruffled, heart-shaped leaves that set it apart from other Philodendrons. Its fast-growing, trailing nature makes it an excellent choice for bioactive enclosures, where it provides lush coverage, increased humidity retention, and climbing foliage. This low-maintenance, adaptable plant thrives in terrariums, vivariums, and paludariums, adding a touch of wild, tropical beauty to any setup.

Care Instructions

LIGHT. Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. However, brighter light encourages stronger growth and more pronounced frilly foliage. In bioactive setups, position it near a light source but avoid direct sun exposure, which can scorch its delicate leaves.

SOIL. Thrives in a well-draining, airy substrate. A mix of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite mimics its natural tropical habitat, ensuring good aeration and moisture balance. In bioactive enclosures, this soil type also supports decomposers like isopods and springtails, creating a healthy micro-ecosystem.

WATERING. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. In a bioactive setup, springtails and isopods help regulate moisture levels, preventing overwatering issues and root rot.

HUMIDITY. Thrives in high humidity (above 60%), making it ideal for bioactive environments. If humidity levels drop too low, leaves may become dry and crispy. Misting or using a water dish in the enclosure can help maintain optimal conditions.

TEMPERATURE. Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C), as it may cause growth to slow or leaves to drop.

FERTILIZATION. Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). In bioactive setups, organic fertilizers like Mealworm Frass provide slow-release nutrients for healthy, robust growth. Reduce feeding in winter, as growth naturally slows.

Cohabitation with Bioactive Organisms

ISOPODS. These beneficial decomposers break down plant debris and uneaten organic matter, enriching the soil with nutrients while preventing compaction, which supports strong root development.

SPRINGTAILS. Essential for mold prevention, springtails thrive in the humid, organic-rich environment that Philodendron ‘Frilly Philly’ loves, ensuring a healthy and balanced substrate.

Soil and Maintenance Tips

SUBSTRATE. A loose, well-draining mix of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite ensures healthy root development while preventing waterlogging. Adding a thin layer of activated charcoal at the bottom can help with filtration and odor control in bioactive setups.

HUMIDITY CONTROL. Misting the enclosure, incorporating a water feature, or keeping a moisture-retaining substrate ensures optimal humidity levels. Springtails and isopods help regulate excess moisture and maintain a stable microenvironment.

TRIMMING. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents the vines from becoming too leggy. Cuttings are easy to propagate in water or directly in soil, making it simple to expand your collection.

PEST CONTROL. Naturally resistant to most pests, but in drier conditions, it may attract spider mites or aphids. The presence of isopods and springtails helps control pest populations naturally, keeping your plant healthy.


With its unique frilly foliage and easy-care nature, Philodendron scandens ssp. oxycardium ‘Frilly Philly’ is a perfect addition to bioactive setups. Its trailing growth enhances terrariums, vivariums, and paludariums, while its natural affinity for high humidity makes it an ideal plant for tropical ecosystems. By providing the right light, moisture, and substrate, you’ll support strong, healthy growth, ensuring this stunning Philodendron flourishes in your enclosure.

The absolute bottom line in performance and price.
Digital Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Color: Black
This phone is the bottom line. It's just enough RAM. A nice OLED display. And that is about it. This dog was heaving like it was running a marathon after set up and a restart. Normally I'd buy a refurbished Pixel, but the prices and support dates are out of my budget sadly. Just playing around to see how the menus looked, the UI crashed after hanging for about 45 seconds. I can't say I hate it, there's much worse out there. Hence I'd call this the bottom line, lowest standard.

For the price, I found this to be a very complete phone. The screen looks good, the battery lasts a long time throughout the day, and it runs smoothly for everyday tasks. I liked that the initial setup was easy and that the device responds quickly for calls, apps, and social media. A great option for anyone looking for a reliable phone without spending too much.

6 years of support, but set your expectations.
Digital Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Color: Blue
I was a Moto user. Before moving over to Android, I was among the 0% that used a Windows Phone. My needs have been modest, so the idea of shelling out nearly a thousand or more for a phone never crossed my mind. What is important is ongoing support, which rules out every cat-sat-on-a-keyboard brand. It’s also the reason why I switched from Moto over to Samsung; offering 6 years of OS and security support (from initial release) on an entry-level class device is a HUGE PLUS. In the case of this A17, that’s all the way into August 2031. This is NOT a fast phone by any means, however. Playing media and general browsing? Sure. Playing video? Fine. Lots of videos at once like on some social media platforms? Not so much. Taking videos? It's only 1080p. More immersive games? I wouldn’t bother. Between the processor and the 4GB of RAM, some patience will be necessary, especially for folks running lots of apps. There is more underlying “bloat” here; turning off the animations under developer mode along with unneeded services improves the experience a bit, however. The A17 phone case I purchased separately for this arrived labeled as an A26; the glass screen protector as an A16, so apparently this phone shares a very similar design with those models. No 3.5mm jack but there is a micro SD slot which it shares with the SIM tray. The AMOLED screen is a huge plus; great contrast and sharpness, which is NOT common in this entry-level class. It does have NFC for tap to pay, but no wireless charging. Will this win any benchmarks? No. Folks expecting sports car performance at an economy car price will be extremely disappointed. This does not nor will not compare to phones that cost more. However, if your needs are modest, there’s no need to spend $$$ either when this will do the job. --- Edit: Just for added confirmation about ongoing support (or lack thereof), the Moto G17 that was just released at the end of January 2026 does NOT promise ANY OS updates at all. That's a stark contrast to the A17 here with a promise of 6 years of OS and security updates. Edit 2: Wireless Android Auto connectivity has become tedious with the aftermarket generic Android head unit on my vehicle, with the phone often forgetting to connect. The real culprit is that those units are often running hardware and an OS older than what they advertise; it may say 15 on the surface but underneath, it's actually running like 10 or even older. Getting a USB wired-to-wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter fixed that; the phone has remembered to connect every time since. For less than $10, it was worth taking that chance.

Bright Screen, Easy to Use, and Reliable for Everyday Life
Digital Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Color: Blue
I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G for a bit now, and overall I’m really happy with it. It feels like one of those phones that quietly does almost everything well without costing a fortune. The first thing I noticed was the display. The large AMOLED screen is beautiful. Colors are vibrant, text is crisp, and it makes everything from scrolling to watching videos feel more high end than I expected. It’s easily one of my favorite features. This phone is also very easy to use and user friendly. The layout is straightforward, settings are easy to find, and everything just makes sense without a steep learning curve. It’s a great option if you want something simple to navigate without feeling overly basic. Performance has been solid for everyday tasks like texting, browsing, and using apps. One thing I did notice is that right after powering it on, the screen can feel a bit sluggish and slightly unresponsive. It seems like the system and background apps are still loading. Once everything finishes starting up, though, it runs smoothly and works great. The camera is another nice surprise. In good lighting, photos come out sharp with natural looking color. Outdoor shots especially look really nice. Low light is a bit hit or miss, but still decent for casual use. Battery life easily gets me through a full day, and the fast charging is really convenient when I need a quick boost. I also like the durable feel of the phone. It’s slim but doesn’t feel fragile, and the expandable storage is a huge plus if you store a lot of photos or apps. A couple minor downsides: it can slow down a little if too many apps are open at once, and low light photos aren’t its strongest area. Overall: This is a dependable, user friendly phone with a gorgeous screen and solid everyday performance. It’s a great choice if you want something simple, functional, and comfortable to use without spending a lot.

Good budget phone with a great display
Color: Gray
The Samsung Galaxy A16 is a solid choice for everyday use. The 6.7” AMOLED screen with 90Hz looks bright and smooth, perfect for watching videos and browsing. Performance is decent for daily tasks, and the 50MP camera takes nice photos for the price. Keep in mind it’s not built for heavy gaming, but for calls, apps, and social media it works very well. Big, vibrant display Good camera for the price Not for heavy use Overall: great value for a budget smartphone.
