Key Highlights - Philodendron atabapoense 

  1. The Philodendron atabapoense is highly sought after as a houseplant due to its fast-growing, climbing nature and adaptability to indoor conditions.
  2. While it thrives in humidity, this plant is surprisingly resilient and can tolerate short dry periods if necessary.
  3. Its long, narrow leaves feature deep green tops and striking maroon-purple undersides, giving it an exotic appearance.
  4. It is a hemi-epiphytic plant that climbs trees in its native habitat and benefits from a moss pole or trellis indoors to encourage larger, elongated leaves.

The Philodendron atabapoense is a striking rare climbing philodendron that has gained popularity among plant collectors due to its elongated, lance-shaped leaves with deep green tops and contrasting maroon undersides. Unlike more common philodendrons, it has a sleek, refined appearance that makes it stand out in any indoor or outdoor plant collection. 

Philodendron atabapoense grows great indoors while maintaining an impressive size, making it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts. When given proper support, such as a moss pole or trellis, it will produce longer, more dramatic leaves, enhancing its visual impact. In the wild, it grows as an epiphyte, climbing trees and reaching for sunlight while absorbing moisture and nutrients from the humid air. 

Native to the tropical rainforests of Venezuela and Brazil, this plant has long, narrow arrow-shaped leaves with a deep green upper surface and a burgundy to maroon underside with an illustrious shine and sheen.

This color contrast gives it an exotic appearance that is highly appealing to plant collectors.

The plant is also known for its fast-growing nature, especially when provided with adequate support, humidity, and indirect light.

When grown indoors, this Philodendron typically grows up to 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide, depending on its support structure.

In its natural habitat, it can climb much higher, reaching over 10 feet. The leaves can grow significantly longer when provided with optimal conditions, adding to their appeal as a large, dramatic houseplant. 

The flowers of Philodendron atabapoense are small and greenish-white in color. Its blooms consist of a spathe and spadix, which are typical of the Araceae family. The spathe is usually green or maroon on the outside and pale inside, enclosing the spadix that contains tiny flowers. However, it rarely flowers indoors, as it requires specific environmental triggers, including high humidity and warm temperatures. 

One unique aspect of Philodendron atabapoense is its epiphytic and hemi-epiphytic nature, meaning it can grow both in soil and attached to trees. This versatility allows it to adapt well to different growing conditions. It also has a high tolerance for humidity fluctuations, making it easier to care for than some other tropical plants. Its leaves have a leathery texture, helping reduce moisture loss and allowing it to thrive in various indoor environments. 

When and How to Water Your Philodendron atabapoense 

Like other drought-tolerant plants, the Philodendron atabapoense is an excellent choice for plant enthusiasts who prefer low-maintenance greenery. This species can withstand occasional dry spells, thanks to its ability to store moisture in its roots. However, while it is resilient, it thrives best when provided with consistent moisture, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so a well-draining potting mix is essential to prevent standing water.

In the spring and summer, during the active growing seasons, it requires more frequent watering to support its vigorous growth. Water the plant thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil becomes dry, ensuring even hydration. The frequency of watering largely depends on environmental factors such as humidity, light exposure, and pot size. If grown outdoors, the plant may require more frequent watering during hot, dry periods. 

In fall and winter, during the dormant season, your Philodendron enters a slower growth phase and requires less water. Watering should be reduced to prevent excessive moisture build-up in the soil. Ensure the soil is dry at least halfway before the next watering. Maintaining proper humidity levels indoors can help prevent dehydration, but misting is generally unnecessary unless the air is extremely dry. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Philodendron 

When grown indoors as a houseplant, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It should be placed near a window with filtered sunlight, such as a north or east-facing window, where it can receive 6 to 8 hours of indirect light daily.

Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while insufficient light may lead to leggy growth and slower development.

Grow lights can supplement natural light if necessary, ensuring consistent growth throughout the year.

For outdoor cultivation, this Philodendron prefers dappled sunlight or partial shade, similar to its natural rainforest habitat.

It can tolerate morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon rays to prevent leaf damage.

If grown under a tree canopy or shaded patio, it will flourish with at least 5 to 6 hours of bright, indirect light daily. In tropical climates, it can be grown outdoors year-round with proper light exposure. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Philodendron atabapoense favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Avoid using dense, compacted soils that trap excess water, leading to root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Philodendron to thrive.

For optimal growth, fertilize Philodendron atabapoense once a year in their actively growing season which is typically spring using a ratio of about 5-10-5 (NPK). Organic options like fish emulsion or worm castings can also boost soil nutrition. Stop feeding in the dormant months when the plant’s growth slows. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When grown indoors as a houseplant, it prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F and humidity levels above 50%. Keeping it in a warm, humid environment mimics its natural tropical habitat, promoting lush growth. Avoid placing it near cold drafts, air conditioners, or heating vents, as extreme temperature fluctuations can stress the plant.

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

It prefers high humidity and bright, indirect light similar to its rainforest origin.

If growing outdoors in cooler climates, it should be brought inside when temperatures drop below 50°F to prevent cold damage. 

If you are concerned about humidity or notice browning edges on your plant leaves. This addition will dramatically improve the health of your philodendrons. 

Wildlife – Philodendron Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators 

The Philodendron atabapoense flowers are known to attract a variety of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beetles in their natural habitat. While the plant is primarily grown for its stunning foliage, when it does flower, these pollinators help with its reproductive cycle.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

According to the ASPCA, Philodendron atabapoense is mildly toxic to humans, and pets such as cats and dogs. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause oral irritation, excessive drooling, and gastrointestinal discomfort if ingested in a large amount. It is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for indoor houseplants.  

How to Propagate Philodendron atabapoense 

The Philodendron atabapoense can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Select a healthy stem with at least one node and a few leaves, then cut just below the node using sterilized shears. The cutting can be rooted in water or moist sphagnum moss before transferring it to soil. Keep the propagation medium consistently moist and place it in bright, indirect light to encourage root development. 

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the Philodendron atabapoense is a remarkable climbing philodendron with elegant foliage, rapid growth, and stunning leaf contrast. Its adaptability to indoor and outdoor conditions, along with its unique maroon undersides, makes it a favorite among plant collectors. Whether grown on a moss pole or allowed to trail in a hanging basket, it adds a touch of tropical beauty to any space. With proper care, including bright indirect light, well-draining soil, and regular humidity, it will flourish and become a standout feature in any plant collection.

Poor quality switches
Main power switch didn’t work and since I didn’t get a chance to install when I ordered it, I can’t return it! Once again Amazon gets my money.

Can't ask for more from a 7.1 or 5.1.2 receiver
Style: Receiver, Style: Receiver
My previous Yamaha receiver was 10 ys old, and was an entry level 5.1 model (RX-V373). I accidentally fried it by putting my phone's USB connector in. I have been wanting to upgrade for a while the last few yrs but waited it out until receivers have 8k pass through (so whenever 8k becomes more of a thing I can keep this new one a bit longer). The 3773 had 4k pass through when I got it 10 yrs ago, well before 4k became as available as it is now for example, which was one reason I held out on replacing as long as I did. This time around I decided to step up into the premium Aventage line of Yamaha. It was between this & the A4A, not a huge price difference, but I would have needed to replace my entertainment center since the A4A is too deep to fit. Didn't seem worth it & now I'm really happy with my choice. My living room set up (in a condo) has 2 surrounds, to add 2 more would require building mounts on the wall (couch is against the wall with 2 surrounds on side tables) which I don't want. This has 7 channels to allow for 2 Atmos front firing speakers which I got & love how immersive it sounds. Bi-amping the front towers is an option, but that uses 2 extra channels so the Atmos front speakers can't be connected at the same time as bi-amping. I experimented with biamping & biwiring & couldn't hear any difference so I have the fronts biwired, allowing for the 2 Atmos front connections. New features/improvements from my old receiver include more power/watts, lower THD & better sound, streaming music directly from the receiver with Music Cast, and it processes Atmos & DTS audio. One key feature all the Aventage models have that the RX ones don't is the 5th foot in the middle, which was designed & tested to improve the sound with more stabilization. Aventage also has a 3 yr warranty (vs 2 for RX). The top of the line RX model looks identical in specs which I also considered but it just sounds like this 1st Aventage model is slightly better with it its parts & sound quality, and not that much more. Especially since I got the A2A on sale for 999.95 (vs the 1200 price). I actually bought this for 1150 which was a teeny mark down, and then saw Amazon put it on sale for 999.95 shortly after (about 2 weeks). Amazon customer service was great when I called about that, and they credited the difference. Back to the receiver...2 subwoofers can be connected, and an amplifier for the 2 front speakers can be connected as well through pre outs. Probably more improvements but those are the main ones. Along with this receiver upgrade, I also upgraded my subwoofer & added a Nvidia Shield Pro streamer (due to it handling Atmos & 4k upscaling of lower hd content, which my Roku Ultra cannot do). My system now includes Polk TSI 400 front towers Polk CS20 center, Polk T15 surrounds (all of these Polk speakers are from 10 yrs ago as well & still work great for me, they sound better too with this receiver). I added Klipsch R-41SA Atmos front firing speakers, and upgraded from a Polk PSW505 subwoofer to an SVS SB3000 (night & day difference with that upgrade!). Have a Roku Ultra from a few yrs ago, and the Nvidia as well now. The TV also will be upgraded at some point, but I'm perfectly content with it now (is a 7 yrs old 55 inch 4K Sony Bravia). This receiver also processes Dolby Vision which I'd need a new TV for, as well as eArc which this receiver also has. Over time I will continue adding to my set up. A decent record player is next, and a current blu ray player (the one I have is rather old & only has 1080p). Then a new TV & A 2nd sub (will get another SVS SB3000). The last & most expensive upgrade will be the rest of the speakers. From Polk to B&W most likely, but when I get to this I will compare both at the same price point as I am still very impressed with the quality of my Polks for their price point. I also plan to add an amp (Emotiva most likely) to power the fronts. Another reason I was ok with the A2A watts per channel for now (100 with 2 channels driven for music, unsure what it is at 5.1.2 but it's plenty especially with the thunder the SVS sub provides even at low volumes, and the ability to boost dialogue in addition to the center channel. I'd rather get a dedicated amp for more music power than a higher priced receiver just due to more watts. Very pricey to do all of this at once (in particular the speakers & amp), but for now I am thrilled with how much better everything sounds with these phase 1 upgrades. Highly recommend it, if you are coming from an entry level budget receiver this can pump more life into your current speakers.

Sounds fantastic and easy to operate
Style: Receiver
I used to sell home audio equipment a long time ago and I love this unit! Nice & clean look, the layout for inputs/output is standard and easy to see and the remote makes sense...well, to me it does lol. I had purchased an O***o unit because it's been good brand for a while...returned it because it was defective but I didn't care for it (you had to be a real audiophile to get into the setup and who has time for that?). The Yamaha is easy to work with and sounds fantastic. Make sure you don't go cheap on the speakers!

Great when on sale
Style: Receiver
Update: I got a new Sony X90L TV and this receiver just doesn't like that TV or something. I've had at least 4 instances where the TV said there was no signal. The receiver was on and the proper input was selected. If I hit the menu button on the receiver, I could see that. No inputs on the receiver would work. Unplugging the power from the receiver and plugging it back in fixes the problem in every case. Based on my googling, many others have similar problems. Yamaha receivers are generally over priced I've noticed. And they seem to skimp on features, e.g. a receiver with an MSRP of $1000 doesn't have a single analog video input. I got this on sale for $650 and for that I'm quite happy. I had a Denon that I got pretty inexpensively, but I hated the Denon. Things didn't work, it was confusing, didn't sound all that good and didn't do HDMI input switching well. The Yamaha is a far better reliever in every way. It does cost quite a bit more but it's just so much nicer.
