Philodendron 'Glad Hands' (quercifolium)

Philodendron 'Glad Hands' is a narrow form of Philodendron pedatum, grown for deeply divided leaves with long, slim lobes that spread from the blade like fingers. The full leaf shape develops over time, so young plants can look slimmer and less divided before the stem gains size and support.

This plant grows from a climbing stem with clear nodes and aerial roots. As the stem extends, each node can produce another leaf and attach to support through new root points. A pole, plank, or trellis helps the plant anchor, keeps the stem upright, and gives divided leaves space to spread.

Narrow lobes and node-by-node growth

  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with nodes, aerial roots, and a stem that responds well to vertical support.
  • Leaf shape: Long, narrow lobes give older leaves a hand-like outline.
  • Development: Leaf divisions become clearer as the plant gains size, support, and stronger root growth.
  • Petiole spread: Leaves are held away from the stem, so established plants need space around the support.
  • Root behaviour: Aerial roots help the climbing stem attach and support larger foliage over time.

Pedatum background and quercifolium name

Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841. It is an accepted South American species that grows as a climber in wet tropical habitats. Philodendron quercifolium Engl., published in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik 26:546 in 1899, is now placed under Philodendron pedatum.

The quercifolium name refers to oak-like divided leaves and still appears around this plant in cultivation. This narrow form shows a slimmer, more finger-like expression of pedatum-style leaf division once the stem is rooted and climbing. Older leaves gain a more defined outline, not just a larger size.

Care for divided leaves

  • Light: Provide bright filtered light. Strong indirect light supports shorter internodes and more developed leaves, while harsh direct sun can scorch exposed lobes.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper substrate has dried slightly. Keep moisture steady during active growth, but do not leave the pot standing in water.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark or coco chips, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-holding base. The roots need both moisture and air around them.
  • Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage holes and enough depth to hold the support firmly. Avoid oversized pots that keep the lower stem wet for too long.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the support becomes unstable. Move up gradually so the root zone stays aerated.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank, or trellis early. Attach the stem loosely so aerial roots can reach the support without being crushed.
  • Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity. Around 50–70% helps the narrow lobes open without dry tips or tears.
  • Temperature: Keep at about 18–28°C. Cool, wet conditions slow root activity and can damage the lower stem.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding when light and leaf production slow down.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once rooted and supported. Leaf shape improves gradually as the stem strengthens.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping. Healthy cut sections can be used for propagation.
  • Placement: Give the plant room around its support so the lobed leaves can spread without rubbing against walls, shelves, or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Propagation: Take stem cuttings with at least one node and preferably an aerial-root nub. Keep cuttings warm and humid while roots form.

Juvenile leaves, torn lobes and stem stretch

  • Leaves staying juvenile: Check support, light, and root health. A divided leaf shape develops more reliably on a climbing, well-rooted stem.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Inspect the substrate and roots. Persistent wetness around the lower stem can cause older leaves to decline quickly.
  • Brown lobe tips: Look for dry roots, low humidity, fertiliser buildup, or hot sun through glass.
  • Long gaps between leaves: The stem may be reaching for light or growing away from its support. Move it into brighter filtered light and secure new growth.
  • Torn new leaves: New lobes can catch while unfurling. Keep watering stable and humidity moderate rather than forcing the leaf open.
  • Loose stem attachment: If the stem pulls away from the support, retie it gently at the nodes and guide new aerial roots toward the surface.
  • Pests: Check leaf undersides, petiole bases, and cataphylls for thrips, mites, scale, and mealybugs.

Pet safety and skin irritation

Philodendron 'Glad Hands' should be kept away from pets and children that may chew leaves or stems. Philodendron contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, and digestive tract if ingested. Sap may irritate sensitive skin after pruning or propagation.

Name meaning and botanical background

Philodendron means “tree-loving”, a reference to the climbing habit common in the genus. The epithet pedatum means foot-like, matching the divided leaf outline of Philodendron pedatum. Quercifolium combines Latin roots for oak and leaf, referring to an oak-like leaf shape. The name 'Glad Hands' suits the hand-like spread of the leaf lobes.

Choose Philodendron 'Glad Hands' for a climbing Philodendron with slim, fingered leaves and a distinctive narrow-lobed outline.

Miles, Aiden, and Aspen
Format: Kindle
Man this was a great start to a series. The author got you hooked one the book from chapter one. We are still don't have all the answers but they will come in due time. I absolutely enjoyed this story. Miles seriously has my heart. He was just such a lovable guy. He served his country and was injured doing his job. He carries around a lot of trauma and emotional damage from that time. His childhood best friend Aiden feels guilt over what happened to Miles. He blames himself even though it was not his fault. Due to his trauma they form an unlikely pairing. They need each other and to share the person they are with due to Miles's trauma. They met Aspen and form and instant connection. Little does Aspen know that she has helped Miles during some of the worst of his times with her beautiful pictures. She is running away from a relationship and a job that literally used her and tossed her away. She forms an instant connection to both guys and Miles's dog Jubie. She teaches them both to not only forgive their past but also love themselves more. She is everything they need in their life. Mean while there is a killer/stalker running around causing havoc. Will we find out who the bad guy is? I guess we will have to keep reading the series to find out. I really enjoyed this book and I think the author did a great job keeping your interest. I cannot wait to see what else she has instore. She had great world building and character development.

Rediscovering herself and finding the unexpected
Format: Kindle
First we have Aspen a young woman who lost herself to her ex and what he wanted. She ran to Alaska to re-find her love of photography and the outdoors. While she did find this she also found a broody and overprotective former Navy Seal who still had a lot of healing to do, his super sweet over thinking best friend and their lovable doggo. I absolutely love the different plot lines going on in this story. It leaves mystery and a sense of foreboding around every turn. Of course this doesn't answer all the question we have for Anchor Bay because this is only book one but I absolutely love the community they have. Aspen has an immediate connection with the two friends. She has an easy and open demeanor that puts even the broody guy at ease enough to engage. Aspen is sweet, open, and genuinely cares about the people and animals she comes in contact with. I can't wait to see what is next in Anchor Bay.

Perfect Combinarion of Romantic Suspense & Why Choose
4.5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ I laughed, gasped, smiled, swooned, worried, and cried in this book. I am more emotional than some people but there were just a few scenes that I thought were beautiful, sad or relatable. (Those are all good enough reasons for me to tear up.) —The friendship/brotherhood between Aiden and Miles is so wholesome and funny. They’ve just been through it all together and you can tell how much they mean to each other. —The insta-love from Aiden was too much for me at first, but honestly it fit his personality and his perceptiveness. He knew they would all three be good together and mesh well. I think Aspen was able to reason through their fast attraction in a rational manner. Miles was slow to open up, which was expected with his history and trauma. They make an incredibly sexy throuple. —I don’t always love the FMC, but Aspen is different and her character development felt relatable. —Miles. M I L E S. Holy hell. 🔥🔥 -Overbearing? Maybe -Grumpy? Of course -Will do anything and everything to protect and care for those he loves?! ABSOLUTELY —That ending was not *too* crazy but it did have me speed reading to make sure **spoiler** was okay. 🥺 —I’m seriously looking forward to book two and can’t wait to see what throuple is featured in the next book!

Love her romantic suspense
Format: Kindle
Kennedy L Mitchell is my go-to for romantic suspense. While this first book in the series is lower angst, it’s set up a great mystery that seems like it’ll cover at least the next book, maybe more. There is a bit of ex related drama on both Aspen’s and Miles & Aiden’s sides. Things definitely move quickly romantically and there was lots of excitement plot wise so you’re bound to find something to love with try this one.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo
