PHILODENDRON BILLIETIAE info and care guide 

By far my favorite plant channel. Could watch u explain/show/talk for hours on end.

Had my Billie for 2 years and find it a medium fast grower. It is one of my favorite philodendrons and is very easy to care for. Also use the hefting pot method to see if the plant needs water. Bamboo skewers are my other go-to low-tech water meter.

I like it when Educator Jeff comes out to play. I've been trying to decide which of those to start with ... aka what I can afford ... so this vid helped a lot. Thanks.

Hi Jeff! I've never seen one of these before and I love it! Thanks for showing/talking about it.

Always happy to see you with a new video. I really enjoy your plant room; will you be doing an upstairs tour soon? Every time I watch your videos I discover more plants I need to make my life complete. All I need to make this come true is a conservatory and an inheritance from a long-lost relative…🌴

I love your videos. Keep it up.

Another great video. Funny thing… just added a Billie and that amazing Costco fan to my grow tent last week!

Great video 👍👍 The Billie is definitely one of my favourite plants 🥰 I have been sprinkling diatomaceous earth on top of the potting mix of my plants & I’ve been having wonderful results with keeping all bugs at bay especially with my hoyas.

I love this plant. So easy. Great form, and kind of wild. Always appreciate your info with visuals!!

my billietiae has very strong red pedicule! like blood red, very cute

Just got a Billie 2 weeks ago so this video was perfect timing. Ive had my atabapoense for a few years and i suggest starting it on a taller wire moss pole and keeping it in a larger pot. That things a beast and bullet proof. My leaves exceed 2ft! Great videos. Ty

Love philodendron's 🪴

The three types look àmazing,I'm still not sure which one is like mine😅 💚🌵🍀🌿💚

Should make a video on the soil mix During summer and winter These 2 are my favourite ones however I really struggle getting high light for these plants, I kind of keep them on the porch where you usually get bright indirect light, but in western India, around Mumbai the humidity is pretty powerful in the 70-80 range, however the temperature goes up to about 30-38'c in summer and in winter it's around 28-35'c. The heat really heats up the pots and I really have to literally water every 3 days to cool the roots. If I take the plant's inside there's a low light issue. Grow lights are a bit pricy and the ones you get cheap are those Chinese pink lights. 😂

You explain everything so well. How long can you keep the bilitea in a kokidoma?

Ugh, I killed mine with semi-hydro, but I think I’m willing to try again. But NOT semi-hydro LOL. Thanks for sharing and helping me rekindle my love for this plant!

Jeff, been watching ur channel for awhile. Great plant, so pretty. Question? Do you miss the lipstick plant that was the highlight of your plant shelf previously. Great video .

Hi Jeff, Im little confused with billietiaes. Currently I have 4 different specimens, 3 of them I try to grow at home (av temp 18°C - lowest 14°C, highest 25°C, humidity 50-70%, southwest exposure) and they just don't want to grow bigger leaves, my cuttings/bought plants were always solid size but new growths are leggy and leaves are small (less than 10 cm) - this situation going on for 2 years, they receive plenty of light even some direct sun for 3-5 hours a day but only from exposed area. I have another specimen in the greenhouse and It serve no problem, actually came from miniscule cutting, but never backed down in sizing up (av temp 22°C, lowest 18°C highest 37°C humidity 50-80% south exposure with glass roof but double shading layer above and 3 shading layer on the side), That plant probably gets more time with dim light daily but it doesn't see any direct sun, main difference is the temperature and I felt like thats the key but I see you grow your specimen in not really hot environment so I just don't get it

I'm just getting into house plants. Enjoying your videos and learning a lot. So far I have a snake plant, a jade plant and also have a Billietiae. You mentioned buying plants online. Do you have any preferred sites that you can recommend for Canadians? Maybe doing a video on buying plants online could be an idea for you.

💜💜

Any special nutrients you use for variegated plants such as the Billy ? My V Billy is popping huge leaves and blasting it with light but I feel the varigation is fading

Helpful comparison at the beginning! Would you say the Billie has shorter internodal spacing than the Atabapoense? And the petiole length looks about the same?

Sup brother Jeff😊! Well I have news for you! Besides me joining YT, theres better news 😂. Theyll be coming out with Var billy. Not the past failed ones that revert. These are actually high var billies very stable and should be in canada soon🤗🤘🏽💚

But where did you get that awesome shirt??

Where’d you get that tshirt?! I’ve been trying to find some like that!

Hi. Why do you put moss poles on bililietiaes? Are they also climbers? I knew that the Atabapoenses where but not the billietiaes.

Mine is so easy, I forget I have it 😂❤

My mexicanum is Hugh. Can you do video on how to propagate and make bushy

I hate thrips. By the way, how are your hydro bills?
