Philodendron billietiae x atabapoense is a supposed hybrid of Philodendron billietiae and Philodendron atabapoense. The leaves have the undulating leaf margins like Philodendron billietiae and the maroon underside of the leaf similar to Philodendron atabapoense.
Philodendron billietiae x atabapoense has some slight controversy surrounding it as these two species do not grow in the same areas in the wild. It's possible this is truly a hybrid or it could be a variation of Philodendron billietiae, but with a black or maroon leaf.

Customer Reviews
Bigger than I thought it was going to be... wrapped beautifully.
Plant arrived well packaged, healthy and much bigger than I expected (as did the other 3 plants in the shipment). I have and will continue to order from Canopy Plant Co! Thank you for the beautiful, healthy, BIG plants!!
The leaves are so beautiful and dark, with the purple red undercolor. It’s one of the easiest plants I own. I just make sure this plant never fully dries out and it kicks out a new leaf about once a month.
Sounds like it's thriving! That color combo is such a showstopper—and gotta love a plant that gives back with steady new leaves!
The plant came on time! It was wrapped very well. The Billietiae is in great shape. I am very pleased. This was my first time ordering a plant online.
We're so happy to hear that your first online plant order was a success! Thanks for trusting us with your Billietiae—it sounds like it arrived just right. Enjoy your new plant friend! 😊
I snagged the 3" pot size & WOW! What stunning leaves! I can't wait to watch it grow into the size of the 6" I've seen!!! The darker foliage is just gorgeous!
