Philodendron billietiae

Philodendron billietiae is a climbing hemiepiphytic species with yellow-orange to greenish yellow petioles and long green blades. The petioles add the main colour contrast, while the leaves lengthen into a narrow, slightly pendent shape with subtly wavy margins.

The petioles are erect-spreading and the blades are pendent. A mature plant can fill space around the pot as the petioles push outward and the long blades drop slightly from their tips.

Philodendron billietiae petioles and leaf shape

  • Petioles: Leaf stalks are pale yellow-orange to greenish yellow.
  • Leaf shape: Long, narrow blades can hang slightly as they mature, with a lightly wavy edge.
  • Native range: Native to the Guianas and Brazil’s Pará region.
  • Growth habit: Appressed-climbing hemiepiphyte, sometimes recorded from rocky growth sites.

Philodendron billietiae habitat and container shape

Philodendron billietiae grows in tropical rainforest habitat across the Guianas and northern Brazil. Its combination of spreading petioles and pendent blades gives mature plants a wide, open shape in the pot.

Mature plants can develop thick stems, short internodes, large spreading petioles and long blades that hang away from the stem. In a container, the plant needs pot weight, root aeration and enough side space for the petioles to extend naturally.

Philodendron billietiae care for pot balance and roots

  • Pot balance: Use a stable pot as the petioles lengthen. A lightweight pot can tip once the leaves gain size.
  • Watering: Water after the upper 25–35% of the pot has dried. Let excess water drain fully so the lower mix does not stay wet.
  • Light: Place in strong filtered light so the plant can size up without direct sun marking the long leaves.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally above 18 °C, and protect from cold draughts or sudden temperature drops.
  • Substrate: Choose a coarse aroid mix with bark, perlite, pumice, coco chips, or charcoal to keep oxygen around the roots.
  • Support: A pole lets aerial roots attach along the stem and helps keep larger leaves stable as the plant climbs.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps long new leaves open without edge damage, especially on warm, fast-growing plants.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Avoid strong doses on dry roots or freshly repotted plants.
  • Repotting: Repot when the root mass is firm and active. An oversized pot can keep the lower mix wet too long.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the base of the petiole and trim old cataphyll remains once they loosen naturally.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node; warm, humid conditions support new root growth.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Established plants can adapt to mineral substrates if the roots are transitioned gradually and kept oxygenated.
  • Growth rate: Growth is moderate to fast in warmth, strong filtered light and an airy root zone.

Philodendron billietiae petiole and root problems

  • Drooping petioles: Check watering first. A thirsty plant drops quickly, while a plant in wet soil may droop with yellowing leaves.
  • Brown leaf edges: Look for dry air, irregular watering, or mineral buildup in the substrate.
  • Weak new leaves: Check light and stem support. Small or poorly expanded leaves often follow low light or interrupted root growth.
  • Pests and leaf spots: Check undersides and petiole bases for thrips, spider mites, or scale; remove affected leaves if spotting spreads.
  • Root stress: A sour smell, blackened roots, or slow yellowing usually means the mix is too dense or staying wet too long.

Philodendron billietiae contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets, and avoid contact with sap when pruning if your skin is sensitive.

Philodendron billietiae etymology and description history

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”. The species epithet billietiae honours Frieda Billiet, and Philodendron billietiae was described by T.B. Croat in Novon in 1995.

High quality product.
Warmth? I’m not sure what that means. I make a simple dish out of these, some milk, butter and salt and pepper—then I “warm” it up. They’re a little pricey but the quality and taste/flavor is great. I would definitely buy them again.

Good and can be used in many dishes.
These are pretty good mussels they have not been smoked or anything added to it but mussels, water and salt. Since they are packed like that, you can use them in a variety of dishes. I would buy them again but only when they're on sale because they are pricey.

Meaty and flavorful
I ate these straight from the tin at room temperature, sometimes sopping up the extra liquid with decent bread. I purchased these because I wanted to try an alternative to the King Oscar. I've tried a couple different kinds of mackerel over the years, and while the King Oscar has been the best I find their olive oil varieties to be a bit acrid. Not so with these Otter Kingdom fillets. Theses are actual fillets, so they are larger and meatier, and in my experience they have a looser grain than the mackerel I'm used to. They are high-quality, so I'm not detecting any bones and there's no formaldehyde-flavor, no imperfections in the cut. The oil is quite thin/watery and fairly small in volume. This isn't an issue for me, if anything I'd say it's welcome as it doesn't overpower the fish. These make a great compliment to my tinned fish rotation, which includes tuna, squid/octopus, sardines, cod liver, oysters, and sometimes sprats, salmon, and trout. The price is better than King Oscar, so I can have it more regularly without feeling like I'm being immoderate. Would recommend.

Excellent quality, but close to expiry date
I am basically repeating what another reviewer said in 2024, that the quality of these mackerel fillets is excellent except the expiry date of the case I received is only 6 months away, whereas similar products are shipping with expiry dates 4 years away. And my review comes 2 years after the one in 2024, so apparently this has not changed. Otherwise, I would definitely have given 5 stars. Regardless, I went ahead and ordered more, because that is how tasty they are and selling at a good price.
