Origin
The Philodendron billietiae is a tropical climbing plant originally hailing from the rainforests of South America, specifically Colombia and Ecuador. The plant is named after Frieda Billiet, a Belgian plant collector renowned for her contribution to the botanical world.

Characteristics
The Philodendron billietiae is known for its long, heart-shaped leaflets that have a rich, dark green colour. The leaves are shiny and can reach up to 2 meters in length. This plant also features lengthy aerial roots that, in the wild, aid it in attaching itself to trees. It presents striking growth traits as its stalks stretch out seeking the light, making it a show-stopping addition to any indoor space.

Care
The Philodendron billietiae thrives in bright, indirect light, but is also capable of growing under lower light conditions. It requires well-drained soil and should only be watered whenever the top layer of the soil feels dry. This plant appreciates a humid environment, so regular misting can be beneficial. For healthy growth, it is recommended to repot the plant into a larger pot every two to three years.
