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.

My Go-To Everyday Joe
Flavor Name: Major Dickason's Blend, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Very rich coffee and not acidic!! So many of the lighter roasts I have tried have a high acidity and I admit maybe I am sensitive to it. Bit this Peet's blend is very consistent, dark roast perfection, flavorful and rich. I am very impressed! Great beans! Cheaper than buying direct from Peet's too.

Excellent Coffee - A World Class French Press
The unit is elegantly styled and durable. The double wall is noticeable and keeps the coffee hot for multiple cups. I love the fact that every component is stainless steel - no plastics in the product at all. The unit is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. I would gift this to my coffee connoisseur friends!

So many things to LOVE - you should buy it.
So glad I bought this french press!! I am honestly surprised it wasn't more expensive for this quality. My beverage stays very hot while brewing (that was a problem with my old glass one). I typically transfer to a travel mug so not sure how long it would stay hot but my guess is a long time. The double wall all stainless steel retains heat, is very well made and sturdy. I don't have to worry about glass cracking when I add boiling water (my old one cracked) . I also have no fear of dropping it because it is so solid but I don't think I will drop it because the handle is so easy to hold and sturdy. It pours well, no dribbling and I love the coffee bean picture on the lid that shows you how to turn the lid to pour it. My FAVORITE feature is the measurement markings inside. Why don't all French presses have this!!! There is a bit of resistance and a little metal on metal noise when you depress the filter which might bother some people. It is metal on metal and it is a snug fit so you have to push slowly...like 5 seconds instead of 2-3 but it means zero grounds in your cup. It keeps me in the moment and is still easy to use. Also cleans up easily and looks very nice. I would recommend to everyone. I LOVE it. UPDATE: I have been using basically daily for 2 months and still LOVE it. Works and acts like new. The metal on metal noise disappeared after 2-4 weeks. I am not really sure when. one day I just suddenly realized it wasn't making that noise anymore. I would 100% buy it again if I needed another one.

Great French ress! No plastic. Beautiful look, easy to use & clean. Great value.
This French press is great. Easy to use. Easy to clean. A great size for two. It is all stainless steel and able to be in the dishwasher, but I wash the plunger parts by hand. The lid has NO problem places that could mold that water can get into. It is definitely a good value since it will last for years. It is portable. It is a lovely appearance of stainless - not too modern and not to fancy. The filter system is what one would expect and works so well. This is my first French press but I did lost of research and I feel this is the best for the cost. The coffee is great, the clean up is not a big deal and there is NO plastic involved!!!
