Philodendron acutifolium – Rare Climbing Aroid with Glossy Ribbed Foliage

Philodendron acutifolium K.Krause is an unusual scandent (climbing) aroid admired for its striking, ribbed foliage. The elongate, oblanceolate blades are glossy, slightly leathery, and can reach impressive sizes. Prominent primary lateral veins stand out strongly on the underside, while a wide midrib–sunken above and raised below–gives the leaf structure and definition. Secondary and tertiary veins run parallel to the primaries, adding to the elegant ribbed appearance that makes this species so distinctive.

Defining Traits of Philodendron acutifolium

  • Leaf blades: Large, elongate-oblanceolate, glossy, and coriaceous
  • Venation: Prominent midrib and strongly raised lateral veins below
  • Growth form: Scandent climber that attaches to trees and support structures
  • Texture: Slightly leathery leaves with parallel secondary and tertiary veins

Natural Background

This species is native to tropical regions of South America, where it grows as a climbing understory aroid. Its natural habit of attaching to trees allows the leaves to develop their full size and form. In cultivation, it benefits from a sturdy support such as a moss pole or tree fern slab, encouraging the plant to express its climbing nature and produce larger foliage.

Care Tips for Philodendron acutifolium

  • Light: Bright, indirect light encourages larger leaves; avoid harsh direct sun
  • Watering: Keep substrate evenly moist but not waterlogged; allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
  • Humidity: Prefers 60 – 80% for best growth
  • Temperature: Ideal between 18 – 28 °C; avoid cold drafts
  • Soil: Airy, well-draining aroid mix rich in organic matter
  • Feeding: Apply diluted balanced fertiliser every 4 – 6 weeks during active growth

Growth Behaviour and Display Notes

As a climbing Philodendron, acutifolium will produce increasingly larger leaves when allowed to ascend. Its bold venation and ribbed texture make it a collector’s plant, well suited to vertical displays in bright interiors, conservatories, or greenhouses. Given space and humidity, it can become a striking focal specimen.

Common Issues and Solutions

  • Yellowing leaves: Often caused by overwatering or poor drainage
  • Stunted growth: Lack of support; provide a pole or surface to climb
  • Brown edges: Usually a sign of low humidity or irregular watering

Etymology of Philodendron

The genus name Philodendron (established by Schott, 1830) comes from Greek: philo- (“loving”) and dendron (“tree”), meaning “tree-lover,” referring to the plant’s natural habit of climbing trees.

Why Add Philodendron acutifolium to Your Collection?

With its glossy, ribbed foliage and scandent growth, Philodendron acutifolium is a rare species perfect for collectors of unusual aroids. Order today and let its bold venation and climbing habit bring character to your plant display.

It’s an “OK” watch.
Color: Black
I just received this watch. The watch fits well and is comfortable, light weight and is thinner than others I have had, which I actually like. There is no manual and trying to find one on line is a tall order. I just fiddled around with it to figure it out. Still working on some of the features. It apparently has two time settings which is good if you travel to other time zones without having to reset your time. Just hit the button. Speaking of the buttons, they are pretty tough to push. The display is so-so; some may have difficulty reading it although the numbers for the time are larger. It’s a decent watch but being worth $42 remains to be seen. I was a bit unhappy to receive the watch in an Amazon paper bag envelope. The box was crushed but the watch was in tact. It really should have been shipped in a box.

Perfect watch
Color: Black
This is the perfect watch for me. No negative issues at all. It's light, comfortable, easy to read, accurate, and tells me exactly what I want to know, even in the dark. I like that the seconds can be reset to zero with the push of a button. That makes it easy to set the time to the second. Battery replacement is simple. No pressing the back on with a watch press. I will agree the buttons are a bit stiff, but then I can't accidentally press 'em by flexing my wrist.

Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking
Color: Green/Black
I love this watch despite the fact that it is really a toy. I love the look of the watch, I love how lite the weight of the watch is on my wrist, and it really does keep good time if you manage the solar charge properly. Other than looking cool on your wrist, this watch has absolutely no functions other than time keeping. The black plastic bezel is molded into the case and does not turn, so don't plan on using that. The watch has no light, the dial numbers are non-luminous and the hands are very limited in terms of luminosity. No buttons. All you can do is adjust the time and date by pulling out what used to be a winding stem in the good old days. The small tag on the strap with Geographic coordinates shown on it indicate the location of the old Timex manufacturing facility (SW of Waterbury, CT). I have a nice ledge at my bedroom window and it gets good western sun for a good part of the day regardless of the time of year. On this ledge you will find a half dozen solar powered watches (mostly Casio) properly aligned to maximize the charge they may receive each day. Note that the description for this Timex watch specifically states that a lightbulb won't charge this watch. You need direct sunlight for several hours if you want to get more than a 3-week charge into this watch. So, I'll leave you with a couple of tips, my friends; 1.) If you are looking for a first watch to give your outdoorsy oriented Son or Daughter, then give them this one. Why? Because it is cool looking, fairly well built, and it actually works, 2.) After you receive your Timex watch, be sure to keep the display mount it is packaged with. It makes a great fixture to mount your watch on for charging and allows you to maximize the position of the solar cells on the dial so that you can optimize charging time. Have Fun! Jimmy

Excellent value, flawless performance for well over a year and no signs of quitting.
Color: Green/Black
Excellent value, had this for well over a year and it still keeps perfect time, still water resistant. No worries about having to change batteries. Owned a fancy expensive (battery) watch once and the dept. store repair intentionally sabotaged the watch in the hopes I would purchase another from them. Yeah, good luck with that, lost my business forever. This is the 21st century, cell phones are the new time pieces, but solar is totally reliable and Timex makes it happen. Holds a charge for many months, although I prop it in a bright window for a few days every few months or so just to make sure the cells are always fully charged, although it's probably unnecessary, just being over cautious. I haven't actually experienced this watch ever running out of power even after months of use. Damn impressive, as it should be.
