Gardeners seeking a distinctive houseplant specimen should consider the captivating Philodendron Joepii. Often regarded as rare and exotic, this variety boasts impressively long leaves that become more intricately lobed and refined as they mature. With leaves reaching up to 2 feet in length and 1 foot in width, even indoor specimens can achieve remarkable size. Native to the humid tropical climates of Central and South America, Philodendron Joepii is not only a standout addition to any collection but is also surprisingly easy to care for, much like its fellow Philodendrons.
Best Locations for Growing Joepii Philodendron
Position Joepii Philodendron where it can truly shine. As a climbing aroid, it flourishes when attached to a moss pole or trellis. While it makes a striking floor plant, ensure it is placed in a protected area, as it may not tolerate heavy foot traffic. Additionally, keep this plant and all other Philodendrons out of reach of pets and children, as all parts are toxic.
Joepii Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
In its native habitat, Joepii thrives in the understory of rainforests, receiving filtered or dappled sunlight and high humidity. Indoors, place your plant to the side or across the room from a south-facing window for optimal bright, indirect light. An east or west-facing window offers protection from intense afternoon sun, preventing leaf burn.
Joepii Philodendron Care
As Joepii matures, it may produce a few spathe-covered flowers in green or reddish maroon hues. Ideal conditions include a warm room temperature (68°F - 80°F) and elevated humidity levels. Protect the plant from drafty doors, windows, and heating or cooling vents during colder months. Select a well-draining indoor potting mix enriched with perlite, pumice, or fine bark to enhance aeration.
Watering Joepii Philodendron
Philodendrons prefer consistently moist soil that drains effectively. Allow the top 1-2 inches of potting medium to dry between waterings. During spring and summer, watering may be necessary 1-2 times per week, depending on light and humidity levels. In winter, reduce watering to once every two weeks or as the top 2-3 inches of soil dries out.
Feeding Joepii Philodendron
An all-purpose houseplant fertilizer with a balanced NPK ratio is suitable for nourishing Philodendron Joepii. Apply it once every 3-4 weeks during the spring and summer months, but refrain from fertilizing in winter to allow the plant to rest.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
