Philodendron 69686 - Bare Root

Philodendron 69686 is an unnamed hybrid that is still relatively rare and requires some effort to obtain. This tri-lobed Philodendron plant was incorrectly labeled as Philodendron Joepii for many years, but is a different plant entirely. Loved for its easy care and hardy nature, Philodendron 69686 offers the houseplant enthusiast or rare aroid collector unique foliage and quick growth. LIke most Philodendron, Philodendron 69686 does best in well-aerated growing mixes in environments that are preferably higher in humidity.

In the wild, Philodendron are fantastic climbers and will appreciate a sturdy moss pole to climb on and traverse. When provided with optimal conditions, Philodendron put out aerial roots that may be air-layered for safe propagation once mature. We recommend providing Philodendron 69686 with bright, indirect lighting. This can be in the form of indoor lighting with units like the ONF Aditya Plant Lamp or in a southern exposure. East-facing windows are good too along with western exposures, but the plant should be monitored to ensure lighting is not excessively direct as this may result in damage or burning of the plant. Pruning does not need to be frequent, but older leaves or foliage with visible damage can be removed to encourage new growth.
