Philodendron 'Glad Hands' (quercifolium)

Philodendron 'Glad Hands' is a narrow form of Philodendron pedatum, grown for deeply divided leaves with long, slim lobes that spread from the blade like fingers. The full leaf shape develops over time, so young plants can look slimmer and less divided before the stem gains size and support.

This plant grows from a climbing stem with clear nodes and aerial roots. As the stem extends, each node can produce another leaf and attach to support through new root points. A pole, plank, or trellis helps the plant anchor, keeps the stem upright, and gives divided leaves space to spread.

Narrow lobes and node-by-node growth

  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with nodes, aerial roots, and a stem that responds well to vertical support.
  • Leaf shape: Long, narrow lobes give older leaves a hand-like outline.
  • Development: Leaf divisions become clearer as the plant gains size, support, and stronger root growth.
  • Petiole spread: Leaves are held away from the stem, so established plants need space around the support.
  • Root behaviour: Aerial roots help the climbing stem attach and support larger foliage over time.

Pedatum background and quercifolium name

Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841. It is an accepted South American species that grows as a climber in wet tropical habitats. Philodendron quercifolium Engl., published in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik 26:546 in 1899, is now placed under Philodendron pedatum.

The quercifolium name refers to oak-like divided leaves and still appears around this plant in cultivation. This narrow form shows a slimmer, more finger-like expression of pedatum-style leaf division once the stem is rooted and climbing. Older leaves gain a more defined outline, not just a larger size.

Care for divided leaves

  • Light: Provide bright filtered light. Strong indirect light supports shorter internodes and more developed leaves, while harsh direct sun can scorch exposed lobes.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper substrate has dried slightly. Keep moisture steady during active growth, but do not leave the pot standing in water.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark or coco chips, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-holding base. The roots need both moisture and air around them.
  • Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage holes and enough depth to hold the support firmly. Avoid oversized pots that keep the lower stem wet for too long.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the support becomes unstable. Move up gradually so the root zone stays aerated.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank, or trellis early. Attach the stem loosely so aerial roots can reach the support without being crushed.
  • Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity. Around 50–70% helps the narrow lobes open without dry tips or tears.
  • Temperature: Keep at about 18–28°C. Cool, wet conditions slow root activity and can damage the lower stem.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding when light and leaf production slow down.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once rooted and supported. Leaf shape improves gradually as the stem strengthens.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping. Healthy cut sections can be used for propagation.
  • Placement: Give the plant room around its support so the lobed leaves can spread without rubbing against walls, shelves, or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Propagation: Take stem cuttings with at least one node and preferably an aerial-root nub. Keep cuttings warm and humid while roots form.

Juvenile leaves, torn lobes and stem stretch

  • Leaves staying juvenile: Check support, light, and root health. A divided leaf shape develops more reliably on a climbing, well-rooted stem.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Inspect the substrate and roots. Persistent wetness around the lower stem can cause older leaves to decline quickly.
  • Brown lobe tips: Look for dry roots, low humidity, fertiliser buildup, or hot sun through glass.
  • Long gaps between leaves: The stem may be reaching for light or growing away from its support. Move it into brighter filtered light and secure new growth.
  • Torn new leaves: New lobes can catch while unfurling. Keep watering stable and humidity moderate rather than forcing the leaf open.
  • Loose stem attachment: If the stem pulls away from the support, retie it gently at the nodes and guide new aerial roots toward the surface.
  • Pests: Check leaf undersides, petiole bases, and cataphylls for thrips, mites, scale, and mealybugs.

Pet safety and skin irritation

Philodendron 'Glad Hands' should be kept away from pets and children that may chew leaves or stems. Philodendron contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, and digestive tract if ingested. Sap may irritate sensitive skin after pruning or propagation.

Name meaning and botanical background

Philodendron means “tree-loving”, a reference to the climbing habit common in the genus. The epithet pedatum means foot-like, matching the divided leaf outline of Philodendron pedatum. Quercifolium combines Latin roots for oak and leaf, referring to an oak-like leaf shape. The name 'Glad Hands' suits the hand-like spread of the leaf lobes.

Choose Philodendron 'Glad Hands' for a climbing Philodendron with slim, fingered leaves and a distinctive narrow-lobed outline.

Had a few issues
Format: Kindle
This was definitely not my favorite romance by this author. I had a couple of issues with it. First, I did not particularly care for Fallon. She had a tendency to make her problems into Savannah's problems that I really didn't care for. I really didn't like in particular how she blamed Savannah for her ex husband's behavior, and how unsympathetic she was about Savannah's body image problem. Also, I've noticed that all the male exes of MCs in Smith's books tend to be just horrible people. I haven't read all of her books, but I can't think of any where the male ex wasn't a jerk of some flavor. The romance between Savannah and Fallon didn't feel like it got enough time before they were moving into HEA territory. It felt like a lot of the emotional bonding/growth that normally occurs in romance books was replaced by spicy scenes...of which there were quite a few. So, it felt like they went from FWB to ILY pretty suddenly without really getting to know each other. There is a third act breakup. It occurs pretty early in the third act and takes up quite a bit of time in the book. How much time it takes up chronologically is less clear. I can understand why Fallon pulled away, all of her PTSD triggers were being pulled. I can't understand why they failed to get back together in one scene, but suddenly the next chapter, without anything changing suddenly they were back together. They never really addressed how Fallon could move forward being exposed to her PTSD triggers so frequently either.

Life After Loss
Format: Kindle
This is another fantastic, emotional offering from Adrian J. Smith. Savannah is a single mother who has recently left an abusive marriage and also lost her brother. Fallon is her attorney's admin who lost both parents as a child as a result of domestic abuse. Neither wants anything serious but they are drawn to one another and embark on a friends with benefits relationship. We see their grief realisticly depicted, Fallon's from childhood and Savannah's more recent, and how their budding relationship affects how they each deal with their grief. This is a standalone work, but is related to two prior books whose characters make an appearance here - Shameless Expectations and Follow My Lead. Although not required, if you'd like additional background information on some of the other characters, I recommend you read those as well. I received an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Can romance win?
Format: Kindle
The title is apt regarding the characters in this novel. Fallon and Savannah meet at a cemetery. Fallon is obnoxious. If I had been in Savannah’s shoes, I would’ve walked away, but then there would be no story, or a very different one. Both women have issues related to their respective families, as do many of the other characters. Everyone is flawed. While this is gritty in places, it’s also full of love – for family and friends, past and present. It turns out that they’ve had similar experiences in their lives, either currently or in the past. Smith deftly brought the two women together in scenes that highlighted their circumstances. This novel drives home the point that we never know what other people are hiding and coping with in silence, nor how similar our lives might be.

Aww! Lesbian Hallmark movie in a book
Format: Kindle
Yes, its a lesbian hallmark movie in a book. And, yes, being that it's a "sweet" romance, there's no love-making. Sad. Normally I would forego the sweet romances but when these two authors come together it's always a good book. So I gave it a go. I have to say that I really didn't miss the love-making; it was really that good of a story. I'm surprised to say that. The characters were great but Grinchy Celeste holds a special place in my heart. And the way she and Natalie bicker I got the biggest kick out of. Truly enjoyed the book. Keep 'em coming TB and Miranda!
