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.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

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.

Great little machine, competitor to Casabrew CM5418
Color: Beige
Compact little espresso machine with enough space under the portafilter for a more normal coffee mug, and a steam wand that doubles as a hot-water dispenser for tea or making Americano. Heats very quickly both for normal espresso and for generating steam. Surprisingly good results going by what I get out of it with a bottomless portafilter and a normal 2-dose basket. Other 51mm portafilters seem to get in with a fair amount of difficulty, you will want some leverage if you try to use a third party portafilter. A slightly nicer machine than the Casabrew CM5418. Additionally I paid about $78 for this machine through a Fat Kid Deals code, which in hindsight means this was a steal of a machine versus the $140 (minimum) Casabrew equivalent. Two thumbs up!

Good, inexpensive espresso machine but NEED TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Color: Silver, Color: Silver
I have no financial benefit from this review. After reading negative/positive reviews for this Neretva Espresso Coffee Machine - 1/2 Cups/Frother, I decided to purchase. Although I've only had it since 8/27/25 (writing this review 8/31), I am convinced the bad reviews are because the buyers didn't read the instructions. This was obvious to me because of complaints about the "error messages" and water exiting the steam wand. I was not familiar with espresso machines, and am new at wanting to learn how to brew espresso and other coffee beverages, so had to also look at You Tube videos after reading the instruction booklet that comes with the machine. After experimenting since the machine was delivered, today I was able to make a Flat White. I had several failures using the frother/steam wand. So, there was a learning curve for me. Although I have only been using this machine for 5 days, I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend for anyone who doesn't want to spend more than $100. I would give the warming tray a "D", but everything else an "A". Instead of the warming tray, I pour boiling water in my cup (and empty prior to brewing the espresso), while I'm getting everything ready. The suction cups are very strong, so I decided to put the machine on a small, hard placemat, as it's much easier to move the placemat around than to unstick the suction cups from the counter top to move it around. Also, I needed to purchase a metal pitcher to steam/froth the milk per You Tube videos. Because this is an inexpensive machine and because Neretva does not have a brick/mortar I can call directly, I purchased a 4-yr. warranty. I learned through the internet Neretva has been around since 2008, but it's a global, e-commerce, brand that manufactures and sells a range of small, electric kitchen appliances, mainly through Amazon and Walmart, to consumers who want convenient, affordable appliances for making coffee, bread and a few other foods at home. I have no clue as a consumer how to contact them; hence, the warranty. 9/10/25 Update: I still recommend this espresso machine, but wanted to offer a tip due to what happened to me this morning making my daily espresso. I set everything up to just plug in the machine and press the button before I left for about an hour to do my daily laps in the pool. When I came home, I plugged in the machine and pressed the power button while I took a quick shower. Ten minutes later I was ready for my espresso so pushed the 2 shot button, waited and during what I call the countdown, nothing happened. I did this again, and no espresso came out. Reviewed the Trouble Shooting page. Quickly I realized that the water tank was empty, went through the process again with a full water tank, but the machine did not produce any espresso. Then I removed the Portafilter (which was in correctly) and saw a few coffee grounds on the rim of the Portsfilter (which I hadn't noticed when I got everything ready). I thought "Surely a few grounds wouldn't prevent the machine from working?", but I brushed off the grounds with a very small paint brush I use for this purpose, put the Portafilter into position and VOILA, got my cup of espresso. One might not want a machine that is so sensitive. Okay; I get it. Then spend more money. For me, I'd rather discover the quirks. Just thought this info might be helpful.

Very impressed, perfect shot of espresso with exceptional creme, compact, excellent value.
Color: A-Silver, Color: A-Silver
I am **very** impressed with this sleek, espresso machine. The Casabrews 5418 PRO is phenomenal and such a great value. The pros and cons are very well set out by Neo Pam in her review of December 8, 2025. The machine heats up almost instantaneously and brews a perfect shot and double shot of espresso. It is very easy to use and clean and the instructions are helpful. I really like the compact size. Note that I drink almost exclusively espresso so I make no comment on the steamer other than to say I tested it and it produces copious amounts of very hot steam. Be careful in pushing the wand back--it gets very hot. This was a great purchase and I enjoy it every morning!!

Fast and Easy! Great Taste!
Color: A-Silver
This is my first espresso machine. The first thing you should know is to select the right beans -- especially if you choose the bottomless portafilter (optional, but recommended.) I bought a bag of Starbucks non-espresso dark roast beans, and it couldn't get to the espresso pressure in the bottomless filter; those beans are too oily for espresso. Their dark roast espresso beans work great, though. Here's why this is the best Casabrews machine (in my opinion.) The "Flash heat" tech is ready to brew FIVE SECONDS after hitting the power button (feels more like 3.) There are machines that take anywhere from 30 seconds to about 20 minutes to heat up. I don't know about you, but I don't like waiting. This same tech is ready to froth milk 5 seconds after brewing. You can't froth at the same time, but you're already potentially on your daily limit of caffeine while your "friends" are still waiting for their clunky machines with double boilers to warm up..! I've used mine daily since late November. If you have hard water, you will have to descale more often (I've done it once so far.) In my case, I use a Kangen filter on the 11.5 (alkaline) setting. This causes faster buildup, but the taste is worth it, and I've always used 11.5 pH for all coffee--drip and Keurig. I use 17.5g of those Starbucks beans -- different beans may require different amounts. If you overfill the basket, you will get more steam and dripping. If you underfill it, you won't hit espresso pressure and it will taste weak and sour due to underextraction. I prefer tending toward overextraction. This could cause some bitterness, but that's easily-fixed by adding a few pinches of salt (I use Himalayan Sea Salt) or some almond milk. The punch and complexity are worth it, though -- it's the SOUL of the beans! ⚡😍🤩💪🏼 I've also used preground espresso, but it won't be quite as strong. That works fine with the pressurized double basket that comes with this machine -- but it won't reach pressure with the bottomless basket. The long-ground grains have lost their potency. I drink this if it's already early evening or later--so I could actually SLEEP! Two things you'll want to get right away are a WDT tool (a bunch of needles like a long comb) and a "knock box" (where you tap the filter to remove the leftover coffee puck.) I 3D-printed a knockbox from Thingiverse.com Make sure you select enough infill and 4 walls because it'll have to take a lot of abuse. It also helps to have a dosing funnel (also 3D-printed from there.) Any concerns about food grade stuff is addressed by either buying PET-G food grade filament or wet-sanding (which I opted for.) The WDT tool breaks up the coffee clumps, and you'll want to stir it down and into the arcs of the filter to prevent sputtering, uneven flow, and bad espresso. I also have a 3D-printed distributor--but many consider it unnecessary. I like it because it helps to center the grinds and then I tamp it down (I got an aftermarket tamper--one that has ridges; it works better than the flat ones.) I have a flat metal tamper, too. I just don't use it. Making a double takes about 5 minutes--starting from grinding beans, weighing, transferring, stirring, tamping, putting on the included puck screen and attaching the portafilter. After that, you just press the button. I always get 3 streams that consolidate into one, and good crema (a bit of foam.) I use a digital Etek scale (~ $10.) On scale use... My Etek can measure volume. But there are TWO settings. One is for milk (slightly different density) and one is for water. The one for water is approximately the same as the gram unit setting--as water is 1 gram per milliliter. Make sure if you are leaving it on the milliliter setting that you are using the water one. It has a drop icon. The milk setting has a cup with an "M" on it. You will put too much coffee in if you try to measure it with the milk setting. I found that out recently, as I was not aware of the separate setting for milk. So LIVE and LEARN! 🤓📈📊 If the machine gets accumulated mineral deposits, I take a straightened paper clip and carefully (VERY) insert into the hole in the mounting plate. I then run 2-3 doubles without the portafilter. If it gets more far-gone, I use citric acid (1 tablespoon per liter of water.) You could buy some descaling powder from a dollar store, but I think citric acid is more economical. I use it on my Kangen machine which is why I had it. You will then want to run a few cycles of doubles through to get rid of any aftertaste. You might be tempted to use vinegar and water. I used that on my Keurig and I had to run probably 6 or more cycles to get the vinegar taste out; I don't recommend it! Make sure you run some hot water through the frothing tube after each use -- and wipe it down to remove the milk before it gets too solidified. This is done by turning the dial all the way back to the left, having the machine on, and then turning it all the way to the right. After you see the flow is constant (not sputtering or uneven--I watch for about 5 seconds), turn the dial back to the far-left. That's it! This machine has changed my morning routine. I eat grits and a fried egg with it so I don't bounce off into the stratosphere on a caffeine high. The taste is quite good. I very rarely drink drip coffee (or even use it or the Keurig for coffee) since having this resource. Being away from home is hard, because it's hard to find good espresso -- especially at those licensed "Starbucks." Those are the ones that just pay to use their materials, but are not the genuine deal. Let me know how yours works out, how it tastes, and if you have any questions! 💯 Note: I made the video before I started using other tools mentioned, above.
