Its leaves are elongated and can reach up to 1 m in length and 15 to 30 cm in width. They have a distinctly beautiful, slightly bluish coloration (especially in bright light), which results from a thick, protective wax layer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt undergoes several changes in its leaf shape as it grows larger. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticrainforest.com\/variation-P.gif\"\u003eHere\u003c\/a\u003e are some leaves of \u003cem\u003eP. atabapoense\u003c\/em\u003e plants of different ages and sizes placed side by side for comparison.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEspecially as a young plant, it is easily confused with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/produkt\/philodendron-billietiae\/\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhilodendron billietiae\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, but there are some simple features by which the two plants can be distinguished: The undersides of the leaves of young \u003cem\u003eP. atabapoense\u003c\/em\u003e are red to purple (green in \u003cem\u003eP. billietiae\u003c\/em\u003e). The petioles of \u003cem\u003eP. atabapoense\u003c\/em\u003e are green or slightly reddish (yellow to bright orange in \u003cem\u003eP. billietiae\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe two species also have different requirements for growing conditions. \u003cem\u003eP. billietiae\u003c\/em\u003e likes it very warm, rather dry and sunny, while \u003cem\u003eP. atabapoense\u003c\/em\u003e prefers \"typical\" conditions for \u003cem\u003ePhilodendron\u003c\/em\u003e (warm but not hot, bright indirect light and consistently slightly moist). Both species are, of course, beautiful and should not be missing from any collection, especially since they can be cared for in very different locations ;)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will receive a strong young plant in a 12 cm pot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56319159107961,"sku":"Phi028","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/Philodendron-atabapoense-04.jpg?v=1764917023","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/philodendron-atabapoense","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
