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.

Hard pass. Never again.
I bought this for travel and was hoping the wipes were nice and thick. It is not. Just about the only positive about these wipes was that it smells nice. I needed several sheets versus one Costco baby wipes. Not something I expected from a company I love. I can’t live without their cat odor sprays and dog deodorizer sprays. These wipes were a huge disappointment for the high price.

Cleaning with Care: Longtime Favorite for Home and Laundry!
Scent: Lavender, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this (lavender scented) cleaner for many years. It’s one of my favorite go-to solutions. Especially when paired with Mrs. Meyer’s laundry products in scents like Birchwood detergent and drying sheets. A splash of this concentrate in my laundry has been part of my routine for the better part of six years, and I love how it leaves clothes and linens feeling clean, with a balanced scent that is both sophisticated and refreshing, without total dilution and nose pollution. This multi‑surface cleaner works beautifully on floors, counters, tile, and other hard surfaces throughout the home. When used diluted as directed, it leaves behind that signature gentle, garden‑inspired aroma that guests always comment on without being overpowering. For people who enjoy a subtle, pleasant scent in their living spaces, this product strikes the right balance between effective cleaning and delightful fragrance. One of the things I appreciate about Mrs. Meyer’s products are made with plant‑derived and thoughtfully chosen ingredients, and they’re always cruelty‑free. So, you can clean your home without worrying about animal testing or harsh chemicals that many traditional cleaners contain. Regarding pets, it’s important to note that “pet safe” doesn’t automatically mean harmless if ingested or used improperly. While plant‑derived cleaners like this are generally considered less harsh than many conventional cleaners and are formulated without some of the most toxic chemicals, some ingredients (like essential oils) can still irritate or cause reactions in sensitive animals, especially cats. Always dilute the cleaner according to the instructions, ensure proper ventilation, and wait for surfaces to fully dry before allowing pets back into the area. Overall, I recommend trying this cleaner for yourself. Especially if you love gentle scents and a product that feels rooted in care and quality. It leaves your home clean with a pleasant, sophisticated fragrance that feels inviting to both residents and guests.
