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.

Good bag for a good price
Size: Large, Color: Amourpink
Really loved this backpack. I got it after reading all the reviews and wanting something for travel. The inside pockets with extra compartments that are water proof or organizing was a really nice touch. I traveled on airlines with this a few times and then started using it for school as well. It help up really well. I tend to be kind of rough on things and unfortunately the zipper broke. I'm unsure of if I over stuffed it or it was just a cheaper zipper. I would have considered resorting it because I used and loved it so much but my mom's dog got to it and it was not salvageable after that. I would recommend this specifically as a great travel backpack for the air port but it can easily double as an over night bag or school back pack.

So big, but lightweight!
Size: Large, Color: Amourpink
I bought this backpack to have as my "personal item" on the many flights I have to take. It is the perfect weight, having a place for just about anything you'd want to have during a flight, as well as having your carry-on items. The charging port is a bit of a challenge to plug in because of how you have to position the cord, but it is doable. I did not end up using the charging feature on my most recent flight, but I can see how it would be helpful for the travel that does not provide many charging stations. I have some serious back issues, but even full, I found this backpack to be a reasonable weight. I cannot attest to it's durability at this time, as I've only taken it on two trips now, but it is a great bag. There are many compartments, which can be good and bad. I recently put my wallet with all my identification and cards in a compartment that was easily missed. I thought I had lost my wallet and was panicked about how I'd get on my return flight if I didn't find it. After completely emptying the bag in my friend's car, and running my hands all over the compartments, I found the wallet. Here's the thing, my wallet is not little, so you can see that the walls of this backpack are pretty thick. The pink color is more of a dusty pink, which I find to be more attractive than a bright pink for something like this.

Durable and easy to carry
Size: Large, Color: Amourpink, Size: Large, Color: Amourpink
I absolutely love this backpack! I got it for our two weeks long Northern Europe trip. It is very lightweight, spacious, and surprisingly comfortable even when fully packed. The compartments are well designed and make it easy to organize everything for travel. I especially liked how convenient it was for airport trips and fitting over the carryon’s handle and under the airplane seat. The material feels durable and the overall quality exceeded my expectations for the price. Stylish, practical, and perfect for short trips or everyday use. Highly recommend!

Super Cool - Definitely Worth Buying!
Color: Nynj, Size: 200 pieces
The puzzle is a little smaller than I expected, but it’s looks really cool finished, and the pieces are fun and interesting to put together. I love the specialty pieces, like the pizza slice and soccer cleat. We did it as a family of four and it took about an hour or two. (We don’t do may puzzles.) It was a little hard to get started, especially for my 8-year old, but once we had a bunch put together, she was able to help. The designs are so cool, I may get the Miami one too! Highly recommend.
