Philodendron Atabapoense is a rare tropical houseplant known for its long, narrow green leaves with deep burgundy undersides. Its elegant, elongated foliage and climbing growth habit make it a standout choice for collectors, moss poles, trellises, plant stands, and bright indoor spaces.
The proper botanical name is Philodendron atabapoense.
Philodendron Atabapoense does best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter filtered light helps support stronger growth, longer leaves, and better color. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry and allow water to drain. Philodendrons prefer lightly moist soil, but they do not like sitting in wet soil, so avoid watering too frequently.
Use a well-draining, chunky potting mix and a pot with drainage. A mix with houseplant soil, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works well.
Philodendron Atabapoense prefers warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. Higher humidity can help support longer leaves and healthier growth. Keep it away from cold drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning.
This plant likes to climb as it matures. A moss pole, plank, or trellis can help encourage larger leaves and a stronger upright growth habit.
Philodendron plants are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep them away from cats, dogs, and small children.
