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.

Absolutely amazing! Working flawlessly for over a month, so far.
Color: White
I am very pleased with the performance so far. The strengths are the ease of setup, the accuracy of its mapping and carpet/floor recognition, the quality of its cleaning and mopping, and the entertainment of just watching. There are weaknesses. The documentation is sparse and pretty useless and tech support has been ghosting me..no responses. So hunt and peck with the App, mostly. Hard to really customize by trial and error. While it vacuums very well, it does not empty as well, really requiring the owner to manually empty the dust bin. No big deal. Maintenance recommendations are hidden on the website and I suspect it is advisable to do some maintenance after every use. The strengths win, however.

User friendly, Pet Hair Approved, Quite Powerful Robot Vacuum
Color: White
We prviously had an Eureka E10 vacuum and mop robot for 4 years. We had no idea what we were missing until we purchased this Narwal Freo X10 Pro. It maps very fast. It is extremely quite. The vacuum then mop with a refreshed mop head solution is much better than dragging around a robot mop pad with no way to clean it without removing and washing it. We have 3 Australian Sheppards that shed alot. This was the number one concern, whereas the prvious unit needed daily attention. Not a single hair tangle in the floating rotating brush of this unique Narwal Freo X10 Pro Robot vacuum. 4 months of no robot management is wonderful. The application was easy to use with a ton of customizable options. The AI option to recognize various floor types and throw rugs ensures a complete clean and quick simple setup. Lastly the price vs product was very reasonable. Great product! After spending many months researching, we are glad we made this investment.

After five months, it's basically a brick
Color: White
We've had this robot for five months, and it isn't durable. It worked fine for a couple months. But now it works fine for maybe 20 minutes and then just starts spinning around or going back in forth in the same area wasting its battery. The endless troubleshooting does not help. Cleaning all the sensors, resetting the robot, remapping the house ... Nothing helps. It is only being used in about 1100 sq ft of total space, so it's just not that complicated. It's been trying (and failing) to vacuum our smallish living room for nearly five hours, after several resets/etc. Back when it did function, the vacuum is rather loud if you want it to actually pick up anything big enough to see. The vacuum and mop are both terrible at inner corners, and the intersection between rugs and hardwood flooring is a total miss. There's like a 12" strip along all rugs where mopping never occurs. Definitely not a machine to be used without supplemental sweeping and mopping. The machine insists on starting rugs at the corner, so it pulls up even pretty heavy rugs sometimes. It's sucks up items like socks instead of avoiding them. Also, the machine has never successfully left alone no-vacuum rugs or no-go areas, so some rooms (like with high pile rugs or Christmas tree stands) just don't work without physical barricades. Really, really makes me miss the old reliable roombas...

This vacuum is a game changer
Color: White
Not all robotic vacuums are the same, and after testing so many of them in my life this one has outperformed the others hands down! From the suction power, to the battery life, and then the app I can't find a single thing I don't love. The robot is and to pickup small crumbs, dirt, the typical messes, but most importantly it picks up kitty litter like it's nothing. This is an instant game changer. I no longer need to clean up after a robot. It's amazing! The battery life is great! I have a 2500 sq ft house and it can handle all of it before charging. The "home base" makes this effortless where I just schedule my cleans and it takes care of the rest. The app is really nicely built. It's simple and easy to navigate but it also gives me all of the advanced options such as invisible walls and no-go zones. Overall, this is robotic vacuum is my new go-to and I look forward to using it for many years to come!

$500, not $600. It isn’t worth $600
Color: White
You’re gonna need to put on some glasses and grab a drink for this one. Cons : - Has issues with “muddy mats” brand rugs and mats, along with light mats - It ate my socks - Will molest your standing fans and shoes and pet toys - Castor wheel is a hair magnet along with the “tangle less” floating brush - Mop heads get dirty after just one run of the entire house - It hates charging cables - And dryer sheets PROS: - Smarter than Shark brand vacuums - Excellent management of houses and avoiding most obstacles - It mops and vacuums well - Cleaning is very easy - Cat litter gets sucked up on the strong setting (not the super strong, though that works too) - Battery lasts for vacuuming most of the house - No navigation issues - Doesn’t mess up your furniture - IT WORKS IN THE DARK the floating brush though where the metal shaft sits inside the brush itself and the miniscule space between the spinning part and the brush itself gathers hair like a magnet and will give constant roller brush errors if not regularly cleaned. The castor wheel I swear has more hair than anything I’ve seen. Even the shark didn’t collect it this bad.
