Climbing Philodendron versus Crawling Philodendron + Caring for Climbing Plants vs Crawling Plants

[@pattygaspari-bridges5637]

Excellent informational video!!! Only just recently found hour channel and subscribed. Thank you so much. When I buy philodendron plants, the info provided usually doesnt specify whether they are crawlers or climbers. So no wonder the tendency is to try to attach them to moss poles. Take care.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you!

Please don’t ever stop making videos. Since I found your channel a year ago, whenever I have a question, I always search your videos first for the answer. The way you explain things and the research you do really helps me in a way that a lot of other plant KZbinrs don’t.

I'm so glad I came across this video on your channel. It is very informative. I was ordering philodendrons without knowing if they were climbers or crawlers and of course the ones I was ordering were all crawlers.

I’ve recently rescued a Rojo Congo Philodendron. It is quite young but it t doesn’t look like a crawler or a creeper. I also have a large Split Leaf Philodendron and a smallish Pink Princess. I’d like to know what to expect from these as well. I’m pretty sure the SLP is a creeper. It the others are new to me.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Your observation skills are pretty keen! The Rojo Congo is in fact not a climber or a crawler but rather a self-heading aka upright Philodendron. I have a separate video just on self-heading philodendron which I'll try and link at the end of this response (never tried to put a link in a comment though so not sure if it will work or not). In that video I also mention that when it comes to self-heading Philodendron there used to be what were referred to as arborescent self-heading Philodendron but that all of those plants were recently reclassified into the genus Thaumatophyllum. That's what your 'Split-Leaf Philodendron' is. So it will grow similar to self-heading Philodendron except that it will eventually become more tree-like with what looks more like a defined trunk though no where near as long as what you think of when you think about a normal tree trunk if that makes sense. Now, I have not yet done a video on what are known as semi-vining philodendron. Semi-vining philodendron act like they want to climb but they seem to be less inclined to easily attach to things in order to actually climb them, which I think is probably due to the fact that it seems like the majority of semi-vining philodendron on the market today are hybrids that were crossed with some type of self-heading philodendron. So a good example of a semi-vining philodendron would be your Pink Princess and also Philodendron White Knight and Philodendron Painted Lady just to give a few examples. So your pink princess is going to need a little extra help from you in order to get it to attach to and climb whatever support structure you might choose to give it. Hope this helps 💚 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH3Mp6Ccpa2Gl80

I chopped it cause it seems to want to climb and all its new leaves were a third of the size they had been. It was a mess.

This is literally worth more than 2k views. It helped me a lot. You've summed up a day of searching in a nicely, organized way. By the way, I am thinking of putting cocochips in the pole instead of moss. What do you think of this? Moss is very expensive, as it is not sold as a product in our country, so it is imported.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Climbing Philodendron should readily attach to almost anything so I don't see why coco chips wouldn't work. You could also consider using a coco coir pole.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Sorry for the delay in responding to this! The 2nd two are definitely climbers. The first one, that name gets misused sometimes so I just want to make sure I’ve got the right plant. Does it look the same as philodendron sp Columbia? If so, it’s a crawler.

[@athena0626]

Yeah it totally seems like it wasn’t labeled correctly. I’m having a hard time telling for sure if it is the same as sp. Columbia, but I think it has to be? It has deep lobes and a very pillowy look. I recently saw someone else post the same plant online, and I can’t remember if she had to labeled as bipennifolium Columbia or species Columbia, but it was def the same plant and she said it was a crawler. So hopefully it’s a crawler! 😂 thank you so much for getting back to me!!! Super helpful!

[@karadavis6709]

So helpful, I can't find any other video with this information. Do you have a list of other plants that are crawlers and climbers or a list of only crawlers? I have so many in a younger stage that will need a pole eventually if they are climbers but I do not want to stake them if they are crawlers. Also I"m trying to find out the climbers that I can get away with staking that will attach to something like driftwood because their aerial roots are more conducive for easy attachment or who just need stakes for support, verses really thrive and triple leaf size from moss poles (I prefer driftwood supports so I want to use them where i can but don't want to use them if the roots really won't attach). Thank you for a great video!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

When I was planning out this video I tried so hard to find a comprehensive scientific source for all known crawling species of Philodendron and I unfortunately couldn't find one. And there are just so many hybrids when it comes the climbers that the list would be a mile long. However, there are a few ways you can tell if it's a climber or a crawler as it matures. For starters, a stolon is very different looking than what you see on a climber. However if the stolon isn’t fully visible, another thing you can look for is if there are aerial roots or the start of aerial roots. Only climbers get aerial roots. Crawlers only get soil roots. In regards to your question about type of 'pole' to give the climbers, if they're true climbers they will readily attach to anything (I mean they attach to tree bark in the wild so no reason they wouldn't attach to drift wood in your home). However, while I have also done a video on self-heading aka upright philodendron, I have not yet done a video on what are known as semi-vining philodendron. Semi-vining philodendron seem to be less inclined to readily attach which I think is probably due to the fact that it seems like the majority of semi-vining philodendron on the market today are hybrids that were crossed with some type of self-heading philodendron. So a good example of a semi-vining philodendron would be a Pink Princess or White Knight or Painted Lady. Those are going to need extra help to attach to pretty much anything. Hope this helps 💚

What should you do with a silver sword? Mine has a thin, almost about to break stem at the soil but a thick stem higher. Should it be on a moss pole or is a support stake fine?

So unless it’s a fairly mature plant it can be difficult to tell just by looking at it. But a stolon is very different looking than what you see on a climber.

Only issue is neither plant seems to have a front yet so I'm not quite sure on positions 🤔 How many deliciosa are in your pot? Love your hair in this video! It looks really cute up!

I have a philodendron summer glory and have no idea what I'm doing. Help!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Philodendron summer glory is actually a hybrid between a crawling philodendron and an upright philodendron so treat it like a crawler💚

Hi I've never had any crawling philodendrons so this is a pretty silly question, but can you not climb them up a pole at all? I want a bushy tall plant and i imagine having them crawl won't look the best. Thanks!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Hi! First of all, no question is silly!!! Secondly, you really can’t grow crawlers up a pole, unfortunately. If you’re looking for tall and bushy when it comes to philodendron go for the climbers. 💚

@@AlohaPlantLife alright, thank you for the answer. Was thinking of getting a mcdowell or a pastazanum but i guess I'll put it off until i have enough space. Also very informative video, keep it up! Wishing you and your loved ones well :)

I’m having a hard time IDing which philodendron I have. Can someone help so I know if it’s a crawler or a climber?!

Danke

[@AlohaPlantLife]

You’re welcome 💚

[@marlaschaefer2544]

Is the Pink princess and the white princess both climbers?

[@AlohaPlantLife]

They’re hybrids that are a cross between a climbing philodendron and an upright philodendron, so they will climb but you really have to help them out with it since that aren’t as inclined to do so as non-hybrid climbers if that makes sense💚

atabapoense ?

[@NARCDELUSION]

No Congo Rojo ?

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Not a climber or a crawler. I have a separate video on upright philodendron, which is what that one is💚

It is so hard to tell them apart.
