The Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ is a rare and relatively lesser-known cultivar named after Bette Waterbury, a well-regarded plant collector and horticulturist. It is believed to have originated as a hybrid or naturally occurring sport from within the Philodendron genus, though its precise lineage remains something of a mystery—adding to its allure for collectors. What makes this plant stand out is its lush, heart-shaped leaves with an elegant, glossy sheen, and its upright but slightly trailing growth habit. Unlike many tropical philodendrons that are commonly found in homes, the ‘Bette Waterbury’ is a bit more exclusive, often passed between plant enthusiasts rather than found at big-box stores.

One thing many people don’t realize about this plant is how responsive it is to its environment. While it may appear subtle at first glance, the ‘Bette Waterbury’ reacts strongly to light changes and air flow. If it’s happy, it will push out new leaves regularly with a subtle pinkish tint on the petioles, a sign of robust health. Another secret: this plant actually appreciates being slightly root-bound. Repotting it too often can disrupt its rhythm, so it thrives best when left in the same container for a while, provided it’s still draining well and the soil stays moderately moist.

For care, the Philodendron ‘Bette Waterbury’ does best in bright, indirect light—east- or north-facing windows. It prefers warmth and humidity but is forgiving in average home conditions as long as it’s not placed in a draft or directly under air conditioning vents. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves, but too little light will cause leggy growth. This plant leans slightly toward the light source, so rotating it every couple of weeks helps it grow evenly. It’s a calm, adaptable presence in the home and does particularly well in rooms with consistent temperature and gentle morning light.

In depth

I have had houseplants for many years, and have lost a few from pests. This ebook has good info on how to keep them at bay. I have been following The Rooted Plant Shop for about 6 months, and she is very helpful in answering questions any any plant issues you may have. Recently purchased my first plant from her, and am very happy with purchase.
