Philodendron atabapoense
Philodendron atabapoense is a Venezuelan climbing species with long, tapering leaves, dark green upper surfaces and wine-toned detail on the petioles, cataphylls and parts of the venation. The mature blade is broadest near the lower part of the leaf, then narrows toward an elongated tip.
Mature foliage can become large, thin-textured and slightly undulate at the margin. The combination of long blade shape, dark green upper surfaces and reddish wine detail gives supported growth a lean, strongly vertical appearance.
Philodendron atabapoense foliage details
- Leaf shape: Long, triangular-ovate blades that broaden near the base and taper toward the tip.
- Colour detail: Dark green upper surfaces with wine-coloured spotting or tones on petioles, cataphylls and parts of the venation.
- Native range: Native to Venezuela’s Amazonas region.
- Growth habit: Climbing wet-forest species that can be trained on a pole or plank indoors.
Philodendron atabapoense origin and mature leaf form
Philodendron atabapoense was published by G.S. Bunting in 1975 and grows as a climber in wet tropical forest.
Mature blades can be firm but thin, broad near the lower blade, concave along parts of the margin and marked by several strong veins from the base. Give the leaves enough vertical space so they can hang without folding or pressing against surrounding objects.
Philodendron atabapoense care for long tapering leaves
- Support: Train the stem upward before it stretches sideways. Attached aerial roots help the plant carry longer leaves.
- Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity during active growth so new leaves expand without sticking or creasing.
- Light: Bright, indirect light suits the thin, tapering leaves. Harsh midday sun can scorch exposed surfaces, especially on fresh growth.
- Watering: Let the top 20–30% of the pot dry, then water thoroughly. Avoid keeping the lower pot wet for days.
- Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark and mineral drainage. Fine, compact soil increases the risk of yellowing and root stress.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during the growing season. Large-leaved climbers respond better to steady nutrition than heavy, irregular doses.
Philodendron atabapoense leaf and root issues
- Soft yellow leaves: Check whether the mix is staying wet too long. Improve drainage and let the pot dry further before watering again.
- Shorter new leaves: Usually caused by weak light, no climbing surface, or interrupted root growth. Adjust support and light first.
- Brown patches: Look for direct sun exposure, dry root episodes, or leaves touching hot glass or a grow light.
- Stuck leaf tips: Increase humidity around active new growth and avoid moving the plant while a leaf is unfurling.
Philodendron atabapoense is toxic if ingested and can irritate the mouth and digestive tract. Keep it away from pets and wash your hands after pruning or taking cuttings.
Philodendron atabapoense etymology and description history
The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”. Philodendron atabapoense was described by G.S. Bunting in Acta Botanica Venezuelica in 1975 and is native to Venezuela’s Amazonas region.

Don't miss out!
Format: Kindle
Though I knew of Irvin Yalom's books, I somehow missed reading any of them before, during or after my licensure as a mental health professional. "Creatures of a Day" is my first Yalom book, but with certainty, I can say that it won't be my last. For if his previous books are half as good as this one... they'll all be worth reading.
Creatures of a Day contains ten "portraits" of clients and Yalom's work with them. Portraits is the right word since the descriptions are so vivid and compelling that one might actually feel they're in the room watching Yalom and the clients do the dance of therapy. The topics of death and meaning in life connect the stories as one might expect from a humanist/existentialist therapist. More than one of the stories were sadly sweet and brought tears to my eyes as I read... yet I could not put down the book and read it within just a few sessions.
As a therapist, who also eschews diagnosis and manualized treatments, seeing a master therapist at work was invaluable. And surprisingly, Yalom doesn't gloss over the "mistakes" he makes or focus only on his expertise. This book more than anything shows the power of moments that matter, the healing connection that can happen when one person fully meets another where they're at.
All therapists should read this book, but it shouldn't be limited to professionals. Everyone will relate to these stories and the people they depict so humanly well... Don't miss out on Yalom's work, especially "Creatures of a Day."

Champion teacher/author in the field of psychotherapy does not disappoint in this beautifully written collection of stories.
Format: Kindle
Absolutely enjoyed every minute reading these stories by this world respected author, clinician and psychiatrist. As clinical psychologist I have
read all his books and have always come away with having learned so much about the therapeutic process in relationships. This last book
focussing so much in end of life issues as well as people who are cancer patients is very meaningful to me since I am a long term cancer
patient and have had to learn to live life fully within the framework of having a life threatening illness which thankfully has remained in
remission much longer than either me or my doctors expected. This book is a comfort to me reflecting so much understanding and compassion. . Irvin D. Yalom remains a champion teacher/author in the field of psychotherapy for me and many other clinicians with whom I have shared his books. This book could easily help any doctor who is dealing with end of life issues with patients giving clear and insightful accounts of what is
important to know when people are in life/death situations.

Not far enough!
Format: Hardcover
Like with all Yalom's novels, he gives us tidbits of himself in terms of self-revelations, but like all of his novels he goes head on into some heavy dialogues about life and the meaning it has or doesn't not have with his "patients". He learns perhaps at times more about himself than the "patients" reveal about themselves, at times the catharis is anything but what Yalom had expected or searched after, but via circumstances out of his "relationship" with them, they discover what it is they were seeking. Happenstance? A seed from the 'dialogue' between therapist and patient had been planted, only to be harvested in its own due time? Yalom certainly does provoke self-reflection, at least in this reader. Would that Yalom would actually have the courage to do more self-revealing about his own inner workings, his own emotional state(s) as he grows older and toward eventual death. But, he refrains from such disclosures just when it seems he is about to pull the curtain to show himself (kinda like the Wizard of Oz, but there is no Toto to do the pulling for him). His intellectual acumen, his analytical mind, his creativity is evident in all his novels, and particularly in this series of 'case studies', but that curtain remains securely tied preventing any in depth self-revelation. Is the therapist "resistant"? His conviction of no after life makes intellectual sense to me, but the emotional content of 'fear' of the unknown is never explored, and sadly not. He could have provided us with an even more powerful invitation into self-awareness, I suspect, if he had gone down that pathway.

Required reading for novice (and maybe all?) therapists
Format: Hardcover
As a therapist-in training, this book made a powerful impact on me. As a father of two small children, on the verge of a professional milestone (PhD graduation in June), in the midst of an internship where I'm frequently working with children and teens coping with grief or trauma, mortality has been much on my mind lately, framing core values in my process of professional identity formation. In my five years of clinical training so far, I have increasingly become aware that the healing that occurs in therapy is much more about inter-relational "being" than "doing" (i.e the "sheer presence" of the therapist which Dr. Yalom describes in the book), and also that each successful therapy invents its own (often singular) techniques. This of course departs sharply from the idea that human suffering and its therapeutic repair could ever be helpfully reduced to categories or manuals. During my training in the current climate of "evidence-based practices," I have sometimes felt rather isolated adopting that position (although I am fortunate in my internship of finding many like-minded supervisors and colleagues). In that context, the insights imparted in this story collection serve as inspiring confirmation that I am on the right track, and offer a model of the type of therapist I aspire to be someday. I am grateful for the wise mentorship conveyed through Dr. Yalom's narratives.

A tribute to Kahlil Gibran's endearing and timeless messages.
Format: Kindle
The Prophet (Annotated)- New Modern complete Edition: Original 1923 Text and Illustrations by Kahlil Gibran, With Reflections for Today's World is a very interesting take on an old classic. I have read the original decades ago as well as Gibran's other works and found this version intriguing as it breaths new life through the interpretation of Jonathan Mirel after the original was written over a century ago. A tribute to its endearing and timeless messages.
