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.

Great soap
I get dry skin in the winter and I had tried all kinds of lotions with no luck then used baby oil gel for a couple days unfortunately I had a bad reaction and developed a BAD rash on my legs , arms and stomach. I ordered this this to try out of desperation. With in 2 days my skin was healing. The itching stopped! My skin was finally calming down. After a week the rash was practically gone and my skin feels better. After 2 weeks my skin is so soft and smooth again. Only thing is like others have said the square shape doesn't fit well in smaller hands , so I did what others did and cut it in half. I don't keep it in the shower as it does melt fast. The scent is a fresh clean scent that isn't too strong. It lathers very well both on your skin and in a shower puff. Highly recommend!

Oatmeal soap
I’m toxic and have eczema so bad the soap burns my skin but I use it anyway, later after a shower it calms down. It has a fragrant which, with these skin- gut problems isn’t good…but the way of progress is neither swift nor easy! 🌹

Highly recommended!
I ’ve been using the Age Defense Face Sunscreen Lotion for a while now, and it has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The formula is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast, making it perfect for everyday use. It provides broad-spectrum protection, shielding my skin from both UVA and UVB rays while also containing anti-aging ingredients that help keep my skin looking youthful and hydrated. One of the standout features is its moisturizing effect—it doesn’t dry out my skin or clog pores, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. I also appreciate that it layers well under makeup without pilling. The added antioxidants are a bonus, offering extra protection against environmental stressors. The only minor downside is that it has a slight scent, which might not be ideal for those who prefer fragrance-free products. However, the scent fades quickly and isn’t overpowering. Overall, this sunscreen is a great choice for anyone looking for reliable sun protection with added skincare benefits. It’s effective, comfortable to wear, and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.
