Philodendron patriciae

Philodendron patriciae is a Colombian species from the Araceae family, known for exceptionally long, narrow, pendent leaves on an appressed climbing stem. Mature blades are dark green above, glossier beneath, and can become subtly undulated with age.

This epiphytic Philodendron comes from wet tropical forest in Colombia, where the short stem roots closely against a vertical surface and the leaves hang below it. In cultivation, it needs firm stem contact and open space under the foliage as the blades lengthen.

  • Leaf shape: Narrow ovate-lanceolate to elliptic blades that become long and pendent.
  • Leaf surface: Dark green and matte above, with a glossier underside.
  • Venation: Numerous lateral veins become clearer as the blade matures.
  • Growth habit: Appressed-climbing epiphyte from wet tropical forest in Colombia.
  • Indoor character: A vertical-growing species that needs height and clear hanging space.

Philodendron patriciae care for long pendent leaves

Grow Philodendron patriciae where the stem can root firmly and the leaves can hang freely. Warmth, stable moisture, high humidity and an airy root zone help new leaves expand cleanly and keep the long blades from marking or drying at the edges.

  • Support: Use a plank, pole or slab for close stem contact and clear space below the leaves.
  • Light: Bright indirect light, with protection from harsh direct sun that can bleach or dry the leaf surface.
  • Water: Water when the upper substrate begins to dry, then let the pot drain fully.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity supports smooth unfurling, especially while long new leaves are expanding.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, with no cold draughts around the root zone.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral structure for air around the roots.
  • Pot choice: Use a stable pot that can hold the support securely without compressing the substrate.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the mix breaks down, or the support no longer sits firmly.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at diluted strength.
  • Growth rate: Growth is steady rather than fast indoors, with the best leaf size developing under warm, humid conditions.

Philodendron patriciae pruning, propagation and mineral substrates

  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves close to the petiole base; avoid cutting the main stem unless propagation is planned.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem sections with at least one node and aerial-root tissue, kept warm and evenly moist.
  • Semi-hydro: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro substrates if the roots stay warm, oxygenated and never stagnant.
  • Training: Guide the rooting stem against its support early, before the pendent leaves become heavy.

Philodendron patriciae new leaves, spotting and pests

  • Stuck new leaves: Raise humidity around active growth and keep moisture consistent.
  • Leaf spots: Improve airflow if long leaves stay wet after watering.
  • Pale marks: Move away from harsh direct sun if the leaf surface starts to bleach or dry.
  • Root issues: Check the substrate if growth slows while the pot stays wet for too long.
  • Pests: Inspect new growth, leaf undersides and petioles for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron patriciae safety and botanical background

Philodendron patriciae contains calcium oxalate crystals; keep it away from pets and children and avoid sap contact if your skin is sensitive.

The genus Philodendron was published by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst 3: 780 in 1829, with a name derived from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving.” Thomas B. Croat described Philodendron patriciae in Willdenowia 40(1): 117–118 in 2010. The epithet patriciae means “of Patricia” and honours Patricia Swope Croat.

As it matures, Philodendron patriciae becomes a distinctive climbing species with exceptionally long, narrow leaves that hang below the stem.

Budget-Friendly with a Rustic Charm - WOPITUES Wood Floating Shelves Set of 6
Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
The WOPITUES Wood Floating Shelves Set of 6 is an appealing option for those looking to add a touch of rustic charm to their home without spending a fortune. This set of six shelves offers great versatility and functionality, ideal for displaying a variety of items such as books, plants, and decorative pieces, enhancing any wall decor with a farmhouse vibe. Upon installation, which is straightforward with the included mounting hardware, these shelves provide a neat and organized look. The ability to arrange them in various configurations allows for creative freedom in decorating, making it easy to personalize your space. The overall capacity and sturdiness of the shelves are commendable, holding up well under the weight of typical decor items. However, while the shelves perform well from a distance, a closer inspection reveals that the materials look somewhat cheap. The wood finish, although attractive from afar, does not hold up to close scrutiny, with the texture and detailing lacking the quality one might expect from more expensive shelving. This aspect might be a downside for those who prefer more authentic, high-quality woodwork. In conclusion, the WOPITUES Wood Floating Shelves are a solid choice for anyone on a budget looking to enhance their home decor. They offer good functionality and aesthetic appeal at a distance, though they may not satisfy those looking for premium material quality. For the price, they are a worthy consideration for casual use and decorative purposes.

Good product. Real wood. Sturdy wall anchor.
Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Black
4.5 stars. It's a great product. The pictures made me wonder if this was wood or plastic, but it is definitely wood. It is very attractive and fairly easy to assemble. I feel like the harnesses for the wall don't fit the wood well enough, so you can get different distances from the wall, and one of my shelves is half a centimeter below the others, even though I lined it up the same. But they are sturdy shelves and very pretty. My only real complaint is the screw anchors for the walls. They are SERIOUS. I doubt these will ever fall out of the wall, for real. The only problem is, they eat the wall as you are putting them in. If I ever decide to move these, I will have to do some serious dry wall repair.

Easy to install
Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: White
I bought these for my step daughter for her birthday. I installed them on about 45 minutes. Theyre small and decorative. They're nice to store light weight knick knacks on.

Simple, sturdy, and looks great in the room
Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
I bought this farmhouse shelf for our bedroom because I needed extra storage that would not make the space feel cramped. After using it for a few weeks, I can say it fits the room really well and does exactly what I hoped it would. The rustic brown color is warm without looking orange or overly dark. It has that farmhouse style but still feels clean and modern. It blends nicely with neutral furniture and does not look cheap or overly distressed. Assembly took me about thirty minutes. The instructions were easy to follow and all the hardware was included. Once everything was tightened, the shelf felt stable and did not wobble. I made sure to assemble it on a flat surface and tighten the screws evenly, which helped keep it level. Right now I am using it for books, a small plant, framed photos, and a storage basket. It handles normal household items without any sagging. I would not overload it with very heavy textbooks on every shelf, but for everyday use in a bedroom or living room, it feels solid. One thing I really like is the size. It gives you good vertical storage without taking up too much floor space. It works especially well in smaller rooms or apartments where you want storage but do not want bulky furniture. If using it in a bathroom, I would just be mindful of humidity over time since the shelves appear to be engineered wood with a laminate finish. For towels and lightweight storage bins, it should work well. Overall, this is a practical and good looking shelf. It is not high end furniture, but it does not feel flimsy either. For the price, I would buy it again.

Great for the price you pay
Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
Great shelves for the price you pay. They look good and seem to have good stability so far; we’ll see if anything falls on heads. I put a 6 pack of each up in my son’s rooms and they have all kinds of stuff from katanas to books to knick knacks on them. The shelves aren’t finished so they can leave slivers and might be harder to clean with just a cloth. They came with 6 pieces of wood, not pre-drilled or with any marks for holes, a pack of pretty tough brackets, and all mounting hardware. We used a level, hammer, stud finder, tape measure, the provided wall anchors, long and short screws, pencil, 13/64 drill bit, Phillips head bit, and drill. These helped save space and get rid of some of their clutter.
