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.

Comfortable, Casual Summer Shorts With One Notable Weak Point
Color: Light Khaki, Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Khaki, Size: XX-Large
I selected these Men’s Cotton Linen Summer Shorts looking for something lightweight and comfortable for warm-weather, casual wear, and overall, they largely met my expectations. First impressions: Right out of the package, the fabric stood out. The cotton‑linen blend has a very nice feel — soft, breathable, and not stiff or scratchy like some linen blends can be. They have a relaxed, casual look that works well for everyday errands, hanging out at home, or a day at the beach. Fit & comfort: The elastic waistband with drawstring makes these easy to wear and forgiving in fit. The 7‑inch inseam gives them a modern, casual length without looking sloppy. These are the kind of shorts you can put on and forget you’re wearing, which is exactly what I want in summer clothing. Wash & care: After washing, the shorts came out nicely. There was no noticeable shrinking, and the fabric maintained its texture and shape. They didn’t wrinkle excessively and still looked good without needing special care, which is a big plus for casual wear. Concern: My one real concern is the zipper. While it works, it does not feel especially sturdy, and I can see it potentially becoming an issue with extended use. The shorts themselves feel well made overall, but the zipper seems like a weaker component that may impact long‑term durability. Overall: These are comfortable, breathable, and easy‑to‑wear summer shorts with a great casual look and a fabric that feels good on the skin and holds up well in the wash. If the zipper were more robust, they would be an easy recommendation. As they are, I’d still consider them a good option, especially if used primarily for relaxed, casual settings rather than heavy or frequent wear.

Light and airy!!!
Color: Coffee, Size: X-Large, Color: Coffee, Size: X-Large
These shorts are thin and airy perfect for hot weather not only do they have a button and drawstring but they also feature a zipper. I would not say that they are see through but be mindful that they are thin and in certain light u may be able to see through them if wearing darker undergarments. The shorts are very comfortable however they might run a bit small. With a nice steam and good lighting these shorts are very nice perfect to wear to the beach or hot climate vacation I think you will enjoy them and I would recommend. Good quality and value for your money.

Comfortable Cotton-Linen Shorts, True to Size and Breathable
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
These shorts are lightweight, comfortable, and have a relaxed fit that works well for casual summer wear. A size large is my usual size, and these fit as expected with no tight spots and no baggy crotch area. The 7‑inch inseam falls just above my knee and allows easy movement when sitting, walking, or bending. The fabric has a soft, linen‑like feel without being rough, and it is thin and breathable, which helps in hot weather. Because the material is on the thin side, I am glad I chose black; with a lighter color like white, I would be a little concerned about show‑through. The overall look is casual with a slight beachwear vibe from the drawstring and natural wrinkles. The elastic waistband is comfortable, and the drawstring goes all the way around the waist and can actually cinch for a more secure fit. There are two full‑size front pockets plus one open back pocket. The fabric content was not listed on the garment itself, so I am relying on the product description. After washing, there was no noticeable shrinkage. I air‑dried them and there were some wrinkles, so light ironing may be needed if you prefer a smoother look. For casual wear around the house, at the beach, for travel, or everyday errands, they offer good value.

Comfortable, Lightweight, and Perfect for Summer
I got these shorts for my husband, and he loves them. The cotton-linen blend is lightweight and breathable, making them perfect for hot weather, vacations, or just relaxing on the weekends. The elastic waistband and drawstring provide a comfortable fit, and the 7-inch inseam is a great length—not too short and not too long. They look casual but still put together, and the pockets are a nice bonus. They washed well and held their shape nicely. Overall, these are stylish, comfortable summer shorts that my husband reaches for often. Great value for the price!

Very comfortable and cool shorts
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
These cotton linen summer shorts are definitely "casual" shorts. Great for around the house, the beach, or hiking. I would not wear them out on a dinner date as they wrinkle quite easily. They are well made and comfortable. The stitching is nice and tight and there are no loose threads, so I feel they are durable. The Medium size was slightly snug, yet comfortable. The sizing chart recommended that I get Large and I think they would have fit better. These shorts are lightweight and keep you nice and cool. I do like that the back pocket has a button to help secure your wallet. The black color looks good with just about anything. I have a couple of very minor issues, but worth mentioning. The drawstring seems excessively long to me and gets tangled in the wash. Not a major concern, but slightly annoying. The other issue is the button and zipper. These shorts have a sturdy waist band as well as a drawstring, so why have a button and zipper? Possibly for aesthetic purposes? Overall, these are comfortable shorts that fit well and look good for casual shorts. They will keep you nice and cool. For the price, they are a good buy.
