Philodendron billietiae 'Black' 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 'Black' 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.
Philodendron billietiae 'Black' care:
This Philodendron is quite easy to care for. It prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering. Provide your new indoor plant 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).

Bigger than I thought it was going to be... wrapped beautifully.
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!
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!
This beauty arrived so healthy and in perfect condition. Fast shipping. My mew go to nursey. Thank you Canopy!
Love it!
Wonderful, but had issues! But they 100% honored their winter shipping coverage!!
Beautiful, healthy plant arrived with the absolute best packaging and shipping in the business. These folks always wrap their plants with such care. Plant arrived with no damage and looking lush and ready to thrive!
This plant was bigger than I was expected. So cool looking and had some new growth. Stunner!
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 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! 😊
My favorite from my spring plant haul!!! I got a 6-inch version, and I am so excited! Dark, rich leaves and a support stake for protection in the shipping. This proved crucial as the box was crushed in shipping. Minor damage but still pleased with my purchases!
