{"product_id":"philodendron-billietiae-m","title":"Philodendron Billietiae M","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVivid orange petioles and narrow undulating leaves\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is defined by bright orange to orange‑yellow petioles paired with long, narrow lance‑shaped leaves. Blades are mid‑green above and slightly lighter beneath, with gently wavy (undulating) margins and a semi‑gloss, slightly textured surface. Small basal lobes or “ears” at the leaf base give each leaf a distinctive, linear silhouette rather than the wider heart shapes common in other philodendrons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuvenile plants hold smaller, paddle‑like leaves; as the vine climbs and produces aerial roots the leaves lengthen and the orange stem colour intensifies. It benefits from vertical support — a moss pole or stake encourages longer internodes and the mature elongated form, while unsupported plants remain more compact with shorter blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilodendron Billietiae M is an established species (described by Croat in 1995) and is prized by collectors for the graphic contrast of orange petioles against narrow blades. In practice it prefers bright, indirect light and regular support; a clear limitation is that orange petiole colour and leaf length will diminish in low light. Like other philodendrons it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if chewed, so keep away from children and pets. Availability tends to be greater from specialist growers than from mainstream garden centres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest sited where it can climb — against a tall pole or trellis in a bright room — to show its architectural profile. Note that smaller retail plants show juvenile foliage and need time and support to develop the long, lanceolate leaves, whereas more mature, climbing specimens already display the extended blades and vivid petioles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Circle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49196288934156,"sku":"MM-VDE105","price":14.23,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3553\/3068\/files\/Billie-scaled.jpg?v=1737406479","url":"https:\/\/plantcircle.com\/en-es\/products\/philodendron-billietiae-m","provider":"Plant Circle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
