Product Details
Brand: Plant
Philodendron Selloum
Philodendron Selloum is a bold tropical foliage plant known for its enormous, deeply divided leaves and dramatic tree-like growth. Its glossy green foliage develops numerous lobes and wavy edges, creating a lush, tropical appearance that can quickly become a statement piece in a bright room. As the plant matures, it develops a thick trunk-like stem marked by distinctive scars where older leaves once grew.
Although still widely sold as Philodendron Selloum, this plant is now botanically classified as Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum. Older botanical names include Philodendron bipinnatifidum and Philodendron selloum. Common names include Tree Philodendron, Lacy Tree Philodendron, and Split-Leaf Philodendron. Despite its familiar trade name, it is no longer classified in the genus Philodendron and should not be confused with Monstera deliciosa, which is also sometimes called Split-Leaf Philodendron.
Care
Philodendron Selloum does best in bright, indirect light and can tolerate some gentle direct sunlight. It can adapt to medium light, but growth may be slower and new leaves may develop smaller. Avoid suddenly exposing an indoor-grown plant to intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Water when the top 1–2 inches of the potting mix begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet, but do not allow the plant to remain severely dry for extended periods.
Use a chunky, airy, and well-draining aroid mix. Orchid bark, coco chips or coir, perlite, pumice, and a small amount of quality potting mix work well. Larger specimens need a sturdy container with good drainage to support their substantial root system and top growth.
Philodendron Selloum prefers warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. It adapts well to typical household conditions but appreciates additional humidity as its leaves become larger. Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
This plant develops a large, self-supporting, tree-like growth habit rather than climbing like many Philodendrons. Mature specimens can become several feet wide, so give the plant plenty of room for its foliage to spread. Older plants may develop a thick trunk and numerous aerial roots, both of which are normal. Damaged or aging leaves can be removed near the base of their stems as needed.
Pet Safety
Philodendron Selloum is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or ingested. Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation of the mouth, tongue, and throat, along with drooling, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.
