Philodendron scandens ssp. oxycardium ‘Frilly Philly’ is a stunning and rare vining plant with uniquely ruffled, heart-shaped leaves that set it apart from other Philodendrons. Its fast-growing, trailing nature makes it an excellent choice for bioactive enclosures, where it provides lush coverage, increased humidity retention, and climbing foliage. This low-maintenance, adaptable plant thrives in terrariums, vivariums, and paludariums, adding a touch of wild, tropical beauty to any setup.

Care Instructions

LIGHT. Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. However, brighter light encourages stronger growth and more pronounced frilly foliage. In bioactive setups, position it near a light source but avoid direct sun exposure, which can scorch its delicate leaves.

SOIL. Thrives in a well-draining, airy substrate. A mix of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite mimics its natural tropical habitat, ensuring good aeration and moisture balance. In bioactive enclosures, this soil type also supports decomposers like isopods and springtails, creating a healthy micro-ecosystem.

WATERING. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. In a bioactive setup, springtails and isopods help regulate moisture levels, preventing overwatering issues and root rot.

HUMIDITY. Thrives in high humidity (above 60%), making it ideal for bioactive environments. If humidity levels drop too low, leaves may become dry and crispy. Misting or using a water dish in the enclosure can help maintain optimal conditions.

TEMPERATURE. Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 55°F (13°C), as it may cause growth to slow or leaves to drop.

FERTILIZATION. Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). In bioactive setups, organic fertilizers like Mealworm Frass provide slow-release nutrients for healthy, robust growth. Reduce feeding in winter, as growth naturally slows.

Cohabitation with Bioactive Organisms

ISOPODS. These beneficial decomposers break down plant debris and uneaten organic matter, enriching the soil with nutrients while preventing compaction, which supports strong root development.

SPRINGTAILS. Essential for mold prevention, springtails thrive in the humid, organic-rich environment that Philodendron ‘Frilly Philly’ loves, ensuring a healthy and balanced substrate.

Soil and Maintenance Tips

SUBSTRATE. A loose, well-draining mix of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite ensures healthy root development while preventing waterlogging. Adding a thin layer of activated charcoal at the bottom can help with filtration and odor control in bioactive setups.

HUMIDITY CONTROL. Misting the enclosure, incorporating a water feature, or keeping a moisture-retaining substrate ensures optimal humidity levels. Springtails and isopods help regulate excess moisture and maintain a stable microenvironment.

TRIMMING. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents the vines from becoming too leggy. Cuttings are easy to propagate in water or directly in soil, making it simple to expand your collection.

PEST CONTROL. Naturally resistant to most pests, but in drier conditions, it may attract spider mites or aphids. The presence of isopods and springtails helps control pest populations naturally, keeping your plant healthy.


With its unique frilly foliage and easy-care nature, Philodendron scandens ssp. oxycardium ‘Frilly Philly’ is a perfect addition to bioactive setups. Its trailing growth enhances terrariums, vivariums, and paludariums, while its natural affinity for high humidity makes it an ideal plant for tropical ecosystems. By providing the right light, moisture, and substrate, you’ll support strong, healthy growth, ensuring this stunning Philodendron flourishes in your enclosure.

Waste of money
Color: Orange
So much for indestructible, it wasn’t in my home five minutes before the leg came off. No exaggeration! Dixy had the toy in her mouth and I reached up to wiggle it and the leg came off in my hand and no Dixy wasn’t pulling away. I only purchased this toy because it claimed to be indestructible. After shipping and handling it cost me $30. I justified the cost because I thought it would be worth it for Dixy to have a toy that would last. Isn’t that the impression you get by the discrimination “indestructible” To add insult to injury this company sent a second one for another $30 and it really ticks me off that the product discrimination on even the return label still describes it as an indestructible plush dog toy. Please don’t waste your money this not as advertised. There’s nothing about this product to justify the outrageous expense for a toy that didn’t last five minutes.

Scam
Color: Brown+Blue, Color: Brown+Blue
Zero stars! What a disgrace. I waited weeks due to the delivery date changing after I placed the order. Then the shipping went up and cost more than the toy. It lasted 5 mins after opening, and it's head fell off. It was not even sewn on. So much for indestructible!!! Then when I returned, they sent a auto comment asking if I would keep it and take a 50% refund. No freaking way!! I'm so irritated right now.

This is not even chew resistant!!
Color: Brown
If there was an option for ZERO stars that would be this. Within 5 minutes my little 11 pound Havanese had all the ears off, then out came the stuffing. He had the little dog, and a green duck. I had to take the duck away to sew it….then he still had studding everywhere…and that was the little dog. Throwing stuffing and pieces away….I should have put these right back in the bags they came in. In no way ate these even chew “resistant “!!!! Probably just look good onna shelf.👎👎
