⭐️ Product Description
Scientific Name Philodendron billietiae (Billiet's tree-hugger)
Common Name Emerald Vine Philodendron, Billie, Philidor
Origin Brazil, Guayana and French Guiana
Description This Philodendron has stunning, standout leaves shaped like elongated arrowheads. It was only discovered in 1981, by Frieda Billiet, in the Brazilian rainforest, and since then has become established as a rare favourite both indoors and out. The leaves themselves can grow up to three feet long, so if you give this plant the best conditions it will really show you that it's thriving! Between its stunning, glossy green leaves and eyecatching bright red stems, the Philodendron billietiae will steal the show in any corner of your home.
Light Place in moderate to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight (except maybe an hour per day in winter when it's weaker!) as this can scorch the leaves.
Water Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out in between waterings (these plants are easy-going so if you wait a little longer to water don't panic!). Ensure good drainage and don't allow to sit in water.
Humidity Appreciates above average humidity, but will do just fine in most standard household humidity. Will appreciate an occasional misting, especially if in a dryer spot. Water less in darker areas.
Soil Use a chunky, well draining mix. Repot every two years in spring as the plant grows.
Food Will benefit from a light feed throughout spring and summer- especially since it takes a lot of energy to produce such beautiful foliage!
Temperature Average household temperatures of about 18-28° are fine- try not to place somewhere where temperatures dip below 12°C for extended periods.
Pet-safe No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.
Sprouts Top Tips Water with tepid rather than cold water to avoid shocking the plant. Rotate it now and then to promote even growth. Avoid draughty spots.

Sprouts of Bristol is expanding with the launch of Sprouts HQ – a new South Bristol premises that will house a dedicated packing space for online orders, an office, studio, and more room for rare and exciting plants. While the Kingsdown shop remains open as usual, the new HQ allows Sprouts to grow behind the scenes and offer even better service both in-store and online. This blog post shares the story behind the move, what customers can expect, and how to keep supporting this independent plant shop through the transition.
Join Sprouts of Bristol for terrarium, kokedama, and Christmas wreath workshops this autumn–winter. Creative, plant-filled fun in the heart of Bristol!
