Tree Philodendron (Philodendron selloum)

The Tree Philodendron (Philodendron selloum), also known as Lacy Tree Philodendron or Split-Leaf Philodendron, is a dramatic and fast-growing houseplant admired for its deeply lobed, large green leaves. Its bold appearance and lush foliage make it a focal point in indoor and outdoor settings.

Distinctive Features

Tree Philodendron is characterized by its large, deeply divided leaves with a glossy green finish. The plant grows with a tree-like habit, developing a thick stem over time, and its broad, spreading foliage brings a tropical aesthetic to any space.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun Exposure: Thrives in bright, indirect light; can tolerate partial shade but prefers filtered sunlight for optimal growth.
  • Soil: Prefers a well-draining, rich potting mix with added organic matter to support its vigorous growth.
  • Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy; allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings.
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; mist occasionally or use a humidity tray in drier environments.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 9-11 (can be grown outdoors in frost-free climates or indoors as a houseplant).

  • Watering: Water moderately, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged; reduce watering during cooler months.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain a healthy appearance and control its size.
