Philodendron Selloum Plant in 10 in. (3 Gal.) Grower Pot

An easy care indoor houseplant, this Philodendron has beautiful broad shiny leaves that are large and deeply lobed, adding a tropical look to your home. Its long leaf stems can grow up to 5 ft. L, creating interesting shadows because of the unique cutout leaf edges. Native to South American rainforests, the plant grows best when the understory jungle environment is mimicked, dappled filtered bright light, high humidity and an indoor temperature above 70° F. Unlike other Philodendron, the 'Selloum thrives in well-drained, moist but not soggy soil. In ideal environment, will grow to 5 ft. tall x 3 ft. W. It is important to keep this plant away from small children and pets, like curious cats, because while they improve the home's air quality, if ingested, they are also slightly toxic to humans and animals. Grow outdoors in warm climates as a large entryway accent, around the pool, beside a deck or patio, as a corner-of-the-house shrub or as a decoration for a blank wall. In cooler areas, simply grow as a houseplant.
