Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ 69686

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’, still widely known in cultivation as Philodendron 69686, develops deeply three-lobed leaves with a long, narrow central lobe and slim side lobes spreading from the upper part of the blade.

This cultivated hybrid has unknown original provenance and was formally published under the cultivar name Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’; 69686 remains widely used as its collection and trade reference. Mature growth carries short internodes, long cataphylls, dark green petioles and semi-glossy divided blades. As the stem climbs, the leaves can gain size and show the narrow-lobed shape more clearly.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ leaf shape and growth habit

  • Leaf shape: Deeply three-lobed blades with a long central lobe and narrow, spreading lateral lobes.
  • Growth habit: Scandent vine with short internodes and aerial roots along the climbing stem.
  • Name note: Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ is the cultivar name; 69686 is the collection and trade reference.
  • Leaf texture: Mature blades are dark green, semi-glossy and firm-textured.

How Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ leaves mature

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ was found in the Roberto Burle Marx collection and introduced into cultivation in the United States by Bette Waterbury.

A settled specimen can produce longer petioles, thicker stems and better-defined lobes than a juvenile plant. The narrow central lobe becomes the dominant part of the blade, while the side lobes sit at a wide angle near the base.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ support and climbing care

  • Support: Add a moss pole, plank, or textured stake early so aerial roots can attach as the stem lengthens.
  • Light: Give bright filtered light. Direct sun can mark the leaf surface, while very dim placement slows leaf size development.
  • Watering: Water when roughly the upper 25–35% of the pot has dried. The roots need moisture with air around them, not a constantly wet pot.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, perlite, coco chips, pumice, or similar mineral pieces so roots can breathe between waterings.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new lobed leaves unfurl cleanly during active growth.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally around 18–28°C, and protect it from cold draughts and chilled windows.
  • Repotting: Move it up one pot size when roots fill the container or the plant dries too quickly after watering.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, avoiding heavy doses on dry roots.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node; aerial-root sections usually establish fastest.
  • Pruning: Trim long or uneven stems above a node if you need to control height or encourage a cleaner climbing shape.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro setups if the cutting or rooted plant is transitioned gradually and the crown stays above the reservoir line.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ leaf and root problems

  • Small new leaves: Usually linked to weak light, no climbing surface, or an underfed root system. Improve light and give the aerial roots something to attach to.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Check the root zone first. A dense or wet mix can hold too much water around the lower stem.
  • Damaged new growth: If leaves tear while opening, raise humidity slightly and keep the support lightly moist during active root attachment without keeping the pot constantly wet.
  • Stem lean: A larger plant can become top-heavy. Secure the stem loosely before it pulls away from its support.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets. Wear gloves when cutting stems if your skin reacts easily to aroid sap.

Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ etymology and cultivar history

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”. Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ was formally published as a cultivar name by T.B. Croat in Aroideana in 2022, honouring Bette Waterbury, the first President of the International Aroid Society.

Soften The Mane
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
AWESOME beard oil! I have tried at least a half dozen brands of beard oil with mixed results, and Atwater has delivered some of if not the best results. In fact after using this for a few weeks and seeing a noticeable difference in the softness of my beard and health of my skin underneath, I read about it and saw it received a Men's Health Magazine award for best beard oil. So apparently I'm not the only happy customer out there. The 1oz bottle will last a while depending on how much is applied and how much beard you have obviously, but a little goes a long way. I would prefer a pump top on the bottle for dispensing, but it is not messy or hard to get the right amount out of this current bottle. You pay a premium price for it, but compared to most of the other products out there it's about the same price and delivers better results. If you're looking to up your beard game or soften your man's mane, give Atwater beard oil a try, I expect you won't be disappointed.

Smells fantastic, works as well as any other beard oil
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I got this for my husband to try, because it looked like a higher quality than his go-to beard oil. Also because I particularly like the scent of lavender, and he was becoming nose blind to the scent of his daily beard oil to the point that I was having to let him know when the scent was overwhelming. We are both very pleased with the Atwater Beard Conditioner. The scent is fresh and clean, not at all cloying. And it fades relatively quickly, leaving just a faint trace of fragrance in his beard. He’s overall satisfied with the effectiveness of this product as far as any beard oil goes. It’s not appreciably better than any of the less expensive conditioners he’s used, and he says he hasn’t noticed that it has any exfoliating effect. But it does make his beard feel nice and soft, and it looks healthy without being oily or greasy. He particularly likes the dispenser because it only puts a few drops into his hand at a time, allowing him better control over the amount he uses. So in terms of effectiveness, I’d say there are less expensive options that work more or less as well as this one. But the big difference for us is the light scent.

Cremo Bourbon & Oak 2-in-1: A Gentleman's Shower Staple
Scent: Bourbon & Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The Cremo Bourbon & Oak 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner isn't just a cleaning product; it's an experience. In a world of sterile, generic men's grooming, Cremo consistently delivers a distinctive, high-quality product that feels far more premium than its price tag suggests. If you're looking to elevate your daily shower ritual, this is the bottle to grab. The Scent: Unmistakable Sophistication The most immediate and defining characteristic of this product is, without a doubt, its Bourbon & Oak fragrance. It masterfully blends warm, slightly sweet notes of aged oak and barrel-aged bourbon with a subtle, earthy musk. Projection: The scent is robust in the shower, creating a satisfying, rich steam, but it quickly settles down. It leaves a subtle, masculine residual scent on your hair that lasts for hours without overpowering cologne. It smells authentic—like a high-end barbershop mixed with a cozy speakeasy. Aroma Profile: Unlike many cheap fragrances that smell synthetic, the Cremo scent is layered and complex, avoiding that cloying sweetness that can plague other vanilla or wood-based products. Performance: The Best of Both Worlds When it comes to 2-in-1 products, there's always a risk of compromise—great cleaning, poor conditioning, or vice versa. Cremo successfully sidesteps this pitfall. Cleansing Power: The shampoo produces a rich, satisfying lather that effectively cuts through product buildup and oil without stripping the hair of its natural moisture. It leaves the scalp feeling invigorated and genuinely clean. Conditioning Efficacy: This is where the product truly shines. After rinsing, the hair feels surprisingly soft and manageable. For men with shorter to medium-length hair, the built-in conditioner provides enough hydration to prevent that stiff, straw-like feeling that often follows a wash. It makes combing and styling noticeably easier. Formula: It’s formulated to rinse clean with no residue, which is essential for a product designed for daily use. The Verdict The Cremo Bourbon & Oak 2-in1 is an exceptional offering that delivers on its promises. It is the gold standard for men who want a convenient, high-performing 2-in-1 without sacrificing the luxury of a refined scent. Final Recommendation: Buy it. This is an easy replacement for whatever generic shampoo you currently have in your shower. It’s an effortless way to upgrade your routine and start your day with a confidence-boosting aroma.

Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
absolutely love the Palo Santo Chemo Body Wash by Cremo. The scent is warm, woodsy, and slightly sweet without being overpowering. It smells clean but elevated — like a subtle, high-end cologne that lingers just enough after you shower. The lather is rich and creamy, and a small amount goes a long way. It leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturized without that tight, dry feeling some body washes cause. The fragrance lasts for hours, which I appreciate because it layers well with other products. If you like warm, earthy scents with depth, this is a must-try. I will definitely be repurchasing!
