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.

MUST HAVE BUT MAKE THE TUBE BIGGER OR CHARGE LESS!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Forget babies, at 30 years old I need a softening, nontoxic body lotion that rivaled Lush's sleepy lotion in affordability. THIS IS IT! Pros-Smells like heaven, has that subtle colloidal oatmeal-nutty scent with a light whiff of lavender or something subtle yet sweet. Great before bed time. Also, its an epic HAND CREAM, transformed my dry, over washed hands in three days of use. It's a light lotion, not greasy or runny. Pairs well under jojoba or shea nut oil for extra hydration. Cons- Came sealed, but quarter of the bottle wasn't full. Which leads to second issue WHY $11 FOR SUCH A SMALL BOTTLE??? And even worse I checked in the Babo site its original price is $14 so that's ridiculous. They must know grown women use this stuf,f not just babies. It's wasted on kids, their skin is flawless any way. It rubs in kind of odd, too much massaging it gets streaky, so rub it in a bit a let it soak in within 30 seconds. Last but not least MAKE THIS AN AFFORDABLE BODY WASH AND LOTION FOR WOMEN!

Love it
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Eczema runs in my family and my poor little guy was starting to deal with dry itchy spots on his arms, legs and torso. Within a few days of use I could see the difference. His skin cleared up and we don’t deal with any dry spots anymore. His skin is super soft now. I spreads easily & his skin seems to soak it up nicely. The scent isn’t my favorite but it doesn’t smell bad. I think it’s a “hippy” scent but I definitely love the babo botanicals brand now. My brother deals with dry hands so I gave him a bottle of the lotion and his hands have cleared up significantly.

Awesome
This works well on the baby with no reactions. I smear it on after bathtime fairly thick. It absorbs in later. I also use it on my arms and shoulders in winter when we have dry air, very soothing after a shower. It has no strong odors. I am very sensitive to perfumes and odors in lotions. This one is super mild and causes no respiratory reaction.

Loved the smell - new packaging doesn’t smell the same :(
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this lotion. It is all I will use on my babies when they are little. It is rich and I love the unique fragrance. It might not be for everyone but I think it is absolutely wonderful and high quality. Update: The most recent bottle I bought is no longer in a pump and now I’m a tube. I imagine they did this because so many people complained of the pumps breaking. I don’t know if they changed the formula or what, but the scent is not as pleasant as I remember the older bottles to be. It is not as strong as it was and a little less earthy and a little more chemically. It still moisturizes VERY well and is all natural, but I’m dropping to 4 stars because it doesn’t smell as good.
