Key Highlights - Philodendron atabapoense 

  1. The Philodendron atabapoense is highly sought after as a houseplant due to its fast-growing, climbing nature and adaptability to indoor conditions.
  2. While it thrives in humidity, this plant is surprisingly resilient and can tolerate short dry periods if necessary.
  3. Its long, narrow leaves feature deep green tops and striking maroon-purple undersides, giving it an exotic appearance.
  4. It is a hemi-epiphytic plant that climbs trees in its native habitat and benefits from a moss pole or trellis indoors to encourage larger, elongated leaves.

The Philodendron atabapoense is a striking rare climbing philodendron that has gained popularity among plant collectors due to its elongated, lance-shaped leaves with deep green tops and contrasting maroon undersides. Unlike more common philodendrons, it has a sleek, refined appearance that makes it stand out in any indoor or outdoor plant collection. 

Philodendron atabapoense grows great indoors while maintaining an impressive size, making it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts. When given proper support, such as a moss pole or trellis, it will produce longer, more dramatic leaves, enhancing its visual impact. In the wild, it grows as an epiphyte, climbing trees and reaching for sunlight while absorbing moisture and nutrients from the humid air. 

Native to the tropical rainforests of Venezuela and Brazil, this plant has long, narrow arrow-shaped leaves with a deep green upper surface and a burgundy to maroon underside with an illustrious shine and sheen.

This color contrast gives it an exotic appearance that is highly appealing to plant collectors.

The plant is also known for its fast-growing nature, especially when provided with adequate support, humidity, and indirect light.

When grown indoors, this Philodendron typically grows up to 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide, depending on its support structure.

In its natural habitat, it can climb much higher, reaching over 10 feet. The leaves can grow significantly longer when provided with optimal conditions, adding to their appeal as a large, dramatic houseplant. 

The flowers of Philodendron atabapoense are small and greenish-white in color. Its blooms consist of a spathe and spadix, which are typical of the Araceae family. The spathe is usually green or maroon on the outside and pale inside, enclosing the spadix that contains tiny flowers. However, it rarely flowers indoors, as it requires specific environmental triggers, including high humidity and warm temperatures. 

One unique aspect of Philodendron atabapoense is its epiphytic and hemi-epiphytic nature, meaning it can grow both in soil and attached to trees. This versatility allows it to adapt well to different growing conditions. It also has a high tolerance for humidity fluctuations, making it easier to care for than some other tropical plants. Its leaves have a leathery texture, helping reduce moisture loss and allowing it to thrive in various indoor environments. 

When and How to Water Your Philodendron atabapoense 

Like other drought-tolerant plants, the Philodendron atabapoense is an excellent choice for plant enthusiasts who prefer low-maintenance greenery. This species can withstand occasional dry spells, thanks to its ability to store moisture in its roots. However, while it is resilient, it thrives best when provided with consistent moisture, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so a well-draining potting mix is essential to prevent standing water.

In the spring and summer, during the active growing seasons, it requires more frequent watering to support its vigorous growth. Water the plant thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil becomes dry, ensuring even hydration. The frequency of watering largely depends on environmental factors such as humidity, light exposure, and pot size. If grown outdoors, the plant may require more frequent watering during hot, dry periods. 

In fall and winter, during the dormant season, your Philodendron enters a slower growth phase and requires less water. Watering should be reduced to prevent excessive moisture build-up in the soil. Ensure the soil is dry at least halfway before the next watering. Maintaining proper humidity levels indoors can help prevent dehydration, but misting is generally unnecessary unless the air is extremely dry. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Philodendron 

When grown indoors as a houseplant, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It should be placed near a window with filtered sunlight, such as a north or east-facing window, where it can receive 6 to 8 hours of indirect light daily.

Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while insufficient light may lead to leggy growth and slower development.

Grow lights can supplement natural light if necessary, ensuring consistent growth throughout the year.

For outdoor cultivation, this Philodendron prefers dappled sunlight or partial shade, similar to its natural rainforest habitat.

It can tolerate morning sun but should be protected from harsh afternoon rays to prevent leaf damage.

If grown under a tree canopy or shaded patio, it will flourish with at least 5 to 6 hours of bright, indirect light daily. In tropical climates, it can be grown outdoors year-round with proper light exposure. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Philodendron atabapoense favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Avoid using dense, compacted soils that trap excess water, leading to root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Philodendron to thrive.

For optimal growth, fertilize Philodendron atabapoense once a year in their actively growing season which is typically spring using a ratio of about 5-10-5 (NPK). Organic options like fish emulsion or worm castings can also boost soil nutrition. Stop feeding in the dormant months when the plant’s growth slows. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When grown indoors as a houseplant, it prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F and humidity levels above 50%. Keeping it in a warm, humid environment mimics its natural tropical habitat, promoting lush growth. Avoid placing it near cold drafts, air conditioners, or heating vents, as extreme temperature fluctuations can stress the plant.

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

It prefers high humidity and bright, indirect light similar to its rainforest origin.

If growing outdoors in cooler climates, it should be brought inside when temperatures drop below 50°F to prevent cold damage. 

If you are concerned about humidity or notice browning edges on your plant leaves. This addition will dramatically improve the health of your philodendrons. 

Wildlife – Philodendron Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators 

The Philodendron atabapoense flowers are known to attract a variety of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beetles in their natural habitat. While the plant is primarily grown for its stunning foliage, when it does flower, these pollinators help with its reproductive cycle.

According to the ASPCA, Philodendron atabapoense is mildly toxic to humans, and pets such as cats and dogs. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause oral irritation, excessive drooling, and gastrointestinal discomfort if ingested in a large amount. It is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for indoor houseplants.  

How to Propagate Philodendron atabapoense 

The Philodendron atabapoense can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Select a healthy stem with at least one node and a few leaves, then cut just below the node using sterilized shears. The cutting can be rooted in water or moist sphagnum moss before transferring it to soil. Keep the propagation medium consistently moist and place it in bright, indirect light to encourage root development. 

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the Philodendron atabapoense is a remarkable climbing philodendron with elegant foliage, rapid growth, and stunning leaf contrast. Its adaptability to indoor and outdoor conditions, along with its unique maroon undersides, makes it a favorite among plant collectors. Whether grown on a moss pole or allowed to trail in a hanging basket, it adds a touch of tropical beauty to any space. With proper care, including bright indirect light, well-draining soil, and regular humidity, it will flourish and become a standout feature in any plant collection.

Visible even on dark brown hair
This red hair spray is vivid even on dark brown hair! Perfect for Halloween or dress up days. Can sprays a light mist of color that you can build up for total coverage. Doesn't have a strong smell. Washes out very easily with just shampoo and water! I love that it is easier to use than color gels and the spray makes it easy to get where it needs to be. Color lasted all day for me.

Fun for hair, but could stain other things
This could be fun for the hair temporarily, but be careful. I ordered the red color. My hair is dark colored and the red was pretty bright on my hair. I sprayed on my ends and it was fine. But, I would suggest wearing something you don’t mind getting ruined because of the spray dye. It could smear and rub on clothing. Also, the spray can be a very fine mist, I sprayed this in the bathroom and that was a mistake. The fine color mist seemed to have traveled everywhere in the bathroom. I sprayed directly on my hair, but it went on the counter, sink etc and it was a little staining. I washed the sink twice and scrubbed and it still looks to have a tint on red still there. So, I suggest spraying outside. And then when showering, the red splashed everywhere too. I had to scrub the shower too. It was such a hassle for temporary hair color fun. I’m not sure I would use again after my experience. It’s fine for fun, but the aftermath wasn’t so fun. Use with caution.

Smells Great! Very Messy.
I'm so glad I did a trial run with this spray just before showering. That choice turned a disaster into an amusing inconvenience. The Good stuff: This product smells amazing. Probably the best colored hair spray I've ever smelled. The spray has good coverage. I wasn't trying for full coverage when I did my test, but I was impressed by how evenly I was able to apply the color. It dries really fast, without stickiness. The red color is bold and vibrant, with no orange undertones. So far, so good, right? The Bad stuff: Getting into the safety cap required using a box cutter. Simple twisting or scissors didn't work at all. But that was a one-time issue, so I could overlook it. But this product is MESSY. It covers well. Too well. When I sprayed my hair, the overspray also covered my chest and back. My torso looks like burned meat. If I hadn't been preparing to shower, whatever clothes I'd been wearing would have been ruined. There are no instructions on the packaging about how to avoid overspray. And it isn't just a tiny amount of overspray, either. My torso is about 60% covered. In addition to that, once the spray is used for the first time, the can leaks, getting red dye all over my hands, and dripping down onto the counter. Unacceptably messy.

Lightweight Tinted Sunscreen With Great Coverage—Perfect for Summer
Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This has quickly become my go‑to face sunscreen for summer. I’m a redhead - so finding great sun protection that also looks great is a challenge. It offers excellent sun protection with a natural‑looking tint that evens out my skin tone without feeling heavy. The coverage is just enough to look polished while still feeling breathable. I like to set it with a translucent face powder (also SPF), and the combination looks smooth, lasts well, and never feels greasy or cakey. It applies easily, blends well, and leaves my skin looking fresh and put‑together. Perfect for everyday wear when I want protection, light coverage, and a natural finish in one step.
