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.

Decent Monitor Stand with Some Assembly Required
Size: Single, Style: Free-Standing
This monitor stand works pretty well and is a good value for the price. It’s sturdy and adjustable, which makes it perfect for a variety of monitors, including my 32-inch curved Samsung. The assembly is straightforward if you have a Phillips screwdriver and something to tighten bolts, like a wrench. It’s solid once it’s put together and holds my monitor securely. The phone holder could use some improvement. It doesn't adjust to face me directly, which is a bit annoying. The stand itself is great for saving desk space and providing better ergonomics, but it can be a bit of a hassle to assemble if you’re not handy with tools. Overall, a good buy if you need a reliable monitor stand.

Works, Good product, but wouldn't recommend for specifically 3 27inch screens.
Size: Triple, Style: Free-Standing
I purchased this stand to have 3 27inch 2560x1440 monitors, with the side ones angled towards me in a typical 3-monitor setup often seen being used by racing or aviation simulator guys. This stand's arms for the two side monitors are not long enough to have said monitors angled more than 5 to 8 degrees meaning they are forced to be completely linear which is incredibly awkward to try to use because you can barely see or use the screen space on the far edges. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞, 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬. The product description should not say it can hold 3 27 inch screens because the amount of struggling I had to do to get it to be acceptable was ridiculous. The stand is... not heavy enough to safely hold monitors of this size either, and additional weight was required ( 2 10lb dumbbells in my case ) configuring the height of your monitors with this stand can be dangerous as well as they could fall down the central post so you have to be extremely careful, but, it is pretty easy other than that. It is a great option if you don't have a desk with an edge for typical stands ( I don't. ) You can place the stand anywhere, and you don't have to drill through your desk if you really don't want to. The cable clips are a very nice included bonus, and they sent me a replacement without any hassle when I totally effed up my first attempt at setup. But, I would have shopped harder and got something else if I knew all this prior all the same. Maybe even bought a gigantic curved screen instead.

Everyone likes the extra outlets and spacing!
Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow
I have a livestream desk shared by a team where we have lots of equipment. We were always running out of outlets and the team had nothing but praise when I installed this 16 outlet replacement. The spacing is perfect for a variety of bricks, plugs and adapters of all sizes. It's metal construction seems very durable and it's easily to mount it solidly to the wall with the wings at each end. The power cord is sufficiently beefy and lighted switch at one end a plus. Overall, we're very happy with its design, capability and value. The extra praise for doing a simple replacement was nice too!

Heavy-Duty Power for Any Workshop or Garage
Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow
I recently upgraded my workspace with the JUNNUJ 16-Outlet Heavy Duty Power Strip, and it has completely transformed how I manage tools and electronics in my garage. Why It Stands Out: Ample Outlets With 16 wide-spaced outlets, it accommodates bulky plugs, adapters, and chargers without blocking neighboring sockets. Perfect for workshops or garages where multiple tools run simultaneously. Durable Construction The full metal housing gives it an industrial-grade feel, and it can handle heavy-duty equipment without bending or warping. Unlike plastic strips, this one feels built to last. Safety First Equipped with surge protection and grounded outlets, it keeps both tools and electronics safe. I feel confident plugging in expensive power tools or charging devices without worrying about power spikes. Practical Length The long cord allows me to reach multiple corners of my garage without needing extension cords, reducing clutter and tripping hazards. Professional-Grade Design Wide-spaced, high-capacity, and metal-built — this is clearly designed for industrial or garage use, not just casual household tasks. It’s heavy-duty without being overcomplicated. Minor Considerations: It’s larger and heavier than standard power strips, so it needs a stable mounting spot or surface. Price is higher than a typical household strip, but for the durability and outlet capacity, it’s worth it. Bottom Line: The JUNNUJ 16-Outlet Heavy Duty Power Strip is a powerhouse for garages, workshops, or any space with multiple high-demand devices. Durable, safe, and highly practical, it’s a must-have for anyone who needs reliable industrial-grade power management.
