Philodendron 'Glad Hands' (quercifolium)

Philodendron 'Glad Hands' is a narrow form of Philodendron pedatum, grown for deeply divided leaves with long, slim lobes that spread from the blade like fingers. The full leaf shape develops over time, so young plants can look slimmer and less divided before the stem gains size and support.

This plant grows from a climbing stem with clear nodes and aerial roots. As the stem extends, each node can produce another leaf and attach to support through new root points. A pole, plank, or trellis helps the plant anchor, keeps the stem upright, and gives divided leaves space to spread.

Narrow lobes and node-by-node growth

  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with nodes, aerial roots, and a stem that responds well to vertical support.
  • Leaf shape: Long, narrow lobes give older leaves a hand-like outline.
  • Development: Leaf divisions become clearer as the plant gains size, support, and stronger root growth.
  • Petiole spread: Leaves are held away from the stem, so established plants need space around the support.
  • Root behaviour: Aerial roots help the climbing stem attach and support larger foliage over time.

Pedatum background and quercifolium name

Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841. It is an accepted South American species that grows as a climber in wet tropical habitats. Philodendron quercifolium Engl., published in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik 26:546 in 1899, is now placed under Philodendron pedatum.

The quercifolium name refers to oak-like divided leaves and still appears around this plant in cultivation. This narrow form shows a slimmer, more finger-like expression of pedatum-style leaf division once the stem is rooted and climbing. Older leaves gain a more defined outline, not just a larger size.

Care for divided leaves

  • Light: Provide bright filtered light. Strong indirect light supports shorter internodes and more developed leaves, while harsh direct sun can scorch exposed lobes.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper substrate has dried slightly. Keep moisture steady during active growth, but do not leave the pot standing in water.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark or coco chips, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-holding base. The roots need both moisture and air around them.
  • Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage holes and enough depth to hold the support firmly. Avoid oversized pots that keep the lower stem wet for too long.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot or the support becomes unstable. Move up gradually so the root zone stays aerated.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank, or trellis early. Attach the stem loosely so aerial roots can reach the support without being crushed.
  • Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity. Around 50–70% helps the narrow lobes open without dry tips or tears.
  • Temperature: Keep at about 18–28°C. Cool, wet conditions slow root activity and can damage the lower stem.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding when light and leaf production slow down.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once rooted and supported. Leaf shape improves gradually as the stem strengthens.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping. Healthy cut sections can be used for propagation.
  • Placement: Give the plant room around its support so the lobed leaves can spread without rubbing against walls, shelves, or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Propagation: Take stem cuttings with at least one node and preferably an aerial-root nub. Keep cuttings warm and humid while roots form.

Juvenile leaves, torn lobes and stem stretch

  • Leaves staying juvenile: Check support, light, and root health. A divided leaf shape develops more reliably on a climbing, well-rooted stem.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Inspect the substrate and roots. Persistent wetness around the lower stem can cause older leaves to decline quickly.
  • Brown lobe tips: Look for dry roots, low humidity, fertiliser buildup, or hot sun through glass.
  • Long gaps between leaves: The stem may be reaching for light or growing away from its support. Move it into brighter filtered light and secure new growth.
  • Torn new leaves: New lobes can catch while unfurling. Keep watering stable and humidity moderate rather than forcing the leaf open.
  • Loose stem attachment: If the stem pulls away from the support, retie it gently at the nodes and guide new aerial roots toward the surface.
  • Pests: Check leaf undersides, petiole bases, and cataphylls for thrips, mites, scale, and mealybugs.

Pet safety and skin irritation

Philodendron 'Glad Hands' should be kept away from pets and children that may chew leaves or stems. Philodendron contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth, throat, and digestive tract if ingested. Sap may irritate sensitive skin after pruning or propagation.

Name meaning and botanical background

Philodendron means “tree-loving”, a reference to the climbing habit common in the genus. The epithet pedatum means foot-like, matching the divided leaf outline of Philodendron pedatum. Quercifolium combines Latin roots for oak and leaf, referring to an oak-like leaf shape. The name 'Glad Hands' suits the hand-like spread of the leaf lobes.

Choose Philodendron 'Glad Hands' for a climbing Philodendron with slim, fingered leaves and a distinctive narrow-lobed outline.

An essential work in putting American history in perspective
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book. It is not a book for everyone, however. If you don't know the difference between the Pilgrims and the Puritans, and I don't mean just when they arrived, try something simpler. It is a fascinating read if you already have some knowledge. For example, had I not been familiar with Hudson River geography and history, I'm not sure I would have been able to follow Bailyn's account of New Netherland. Naturally, as in any history, the most interesting stories are those you haven't heard before. For me, that was the information about New Sweden; I even read that section first. What makes Bailyn's book great, however, is his ability to make one see material one already knows a great deal about in new ways. Although he never addressed this question per se, he helped me answer a question that has been on my mind for at least fifteen years, and on which I've done considerable research - why did the Puritans, who arrived in 1630 as staunch Presbyterians, deriding their Separatist/Congregationalist Pilgrim neighbors, declare themselves Congregationalists in 1648 in the Cambridge Platform? (In part, the answer Bailyn helped me surmise is simply that when two or three Puritans gathered together, they had at least four different theological positions. It was hard enough to reconcile them in a single congregation; a presbytery would have been impossible.) The book also caused me to reassess my whole viewpoint on early Connecticut, and I certainly came to appreciate the importance of John Winthrop, Jr. beyond his role there. It is amazing too that Bailyn covers such a wide range of issues while devoting relatively few pages to each. The review in The New York Times Book Review, at least as I recall it, was wrong. While that reviewer praised the Virginia, Maryland and New Sweden/New Netherland portions, the New England portion (about 40% of the book) was dismissed as being only of interest to genealogists. While it is true that the earlier sections were more reflective of the book's subtitle, "The Conflict of Civilizations," the New England section would be of interest to a rather small portion of the genealogical community. (For example, I learned nothing new about my only ancestor discussed in the book, William Vassall.) I doubt if that reviewer has ever seen an on-line genealogy, which frequently contain claims such as that so and so was born in 1585 in the United States. As I have already said, the New England section, like the rest of the book, does a marvelous job of putting information in perspective; something that anyone interested in history needs to do.
