Philodendron billietiae x El Choco is an unusual and rare hybrid of two popular Philodendron plants.  Traits from both parents are very obvious in this Philodendron hybrid. You'll find the underside of the foliage to have a nice red tint, while the actual leaf shape is very similar to Philodendron billietiae.

Philodendron billietiae x El Choco care:

This Philodendron plant prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter.  Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering, taking care to not allow your plant to sit in excess water.  Provide your new Philodendron with plenty of bright indirect light.

Additional info:

Philodendron is one of the most popular genuses of Aroid that are currently in cultivation, with over 450 named cultivars.

Philodendron vary greatly in their natural habits, but you will find a large number of them located in Latin America. Their leaves range from small to medium to large to gigantic! You'll find Philodendron with smooth, glossy foliage and some with velvety foliage!

If you allow Philodendron to climb, their foliage will usually get much larger the higher up they get. While this isn't true for all Philodendron species -- it is for most. We recommend a coco pole to really get your Philodendron growing!

For the most part, Philodendron are easy to care for.

The name Philodendron comes from the greek words "philo" (love or affection) and "dendron" (tree).
