Philodendron billietiae Variegata Care Tips and Propagation - WITH UPDATES!
In this episode, I share the care of this 2 year old variegated Philodendron billietiae and ended up propagating it. I share every detail about the propagation process as well as care for the cuttings, showing you a very satisfying 6 months update at the end of the episode! In this episode, we learn how to trouble shoot root rot during propagation in order to rescue them!

I was at the edge of my seat throughout the video hoping you get great variegation. So happy your efforts paid off! I've never seen such a detailed propagation with so many updates. Especially one for a v. Billiatiae. Thanks your awesome content Shaun!

@@aries_plants3048 Billetiae and atabapoense have dropped in price dramatically. I got a small billetiae in a 12cm pot for under 20. I hope spiritus sancti will be the same soon. Aroids grow too fast and are too easy to propagate to keep those high prices over a longer period.
This is my favorite prop video so far. Love those variegated baby plants at the end 😄.

Your billie gives me hope. I have my own that I got, a small one that put out a leaf about 1.5 times the size of the ones before it and has shown no signs of putting out another in about a month now. I was worried i was doing something wrong and couldn't figure out what, but knowing that it took 2 years for yours to grow to that point and how rarely it puts out leaves has reassured me. I can't wait for mine to get as big as yours.

To loosen up the roots from the sides, you can take an old dull knife you don't like in the kitchen and run it carefully around the inside edge. Then poke yer finger into the drain hole in the bottom to start the push.

Well, sometimes you have to cut a lot in order to have varigation! You did well my friend! Although I admit ,I got scared watching you chop those tight nodes yet it ended pretty good at the end, the varigation looks stunning!! As for maintaining the varigation on the Billy, you have to give it intense light , morning or evening sunlight to keep the varigation constant,and a good specimen of course.

Its always a good idea to cut back for variegation. Fertilizing and preparing it 1-2 months before propagation helps a lot! Air layering is also very good idea with more expensive plants

Is it true to all philo? My brother gifted me with a different variety and it is pretty slow a grower. Thanks for the tips on substrate. Though mine I did not bother changing the potting mix as I am scared it could be too sensitive and I don't want it to die on me. It's current soil is regular garden soil which my brother had in his garden. I'll check back your videos to see what I can do with it.
