  •   Philodendron 'Lickety Split' (Philodendron bipinnatifidum) is a tropical houseplant from the Araceae family, native to the rainforests of South America, particularly Brazil and Paraguay. It brings jungle-floor energy indoors as a bold architectural houseplant with real presence.

      The leaves are deeply lobed with a lacy, almost feathered edge that fans out in a wide spread of glossy green. It grows as a compact, multi-stemmed clump rather than a single trunk, creating a fuller, bushier form than many relatives. Each leaf emerges with dramatic cuts that give it that split-leaf philodendron look plant lovers seek out.

      Philodendron Lickety Split is grown for its foliage rather than blooms. It actively filters formaldehyde and other indoor toxins, working quietly to improve air quality in your home.

      Give it room to stretch since it spreads 3-5 feet wide indoors with similar height. Rotate the pot every few weeks so all sides receive even light exposure and growth stays balanced. Keep it away from south-facing windows where direct sun scorches the leaves, and position it away from air-conditioning vents or heating units since blasts of dry or cold air stress it. The sap causes skin and paw irritation, so keep it on a high shelf or in a room away from cats, dogs, and small children. Move it outside in summer to a shaded, sheltered spot once nighttime temperatures stay above 55°F.

  •   Philodendron 'Lickety Split' grows well in bright indirect light, away from harsh south-facing windows that scorch its leaves.

      Water it every 7-10 days during spring and summer, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings.

      Philodendron Lickety Split grows well in a well-draining mix of peat or coco coir, perlite, and compost for moisture retention.

      It prefers temperatures between 65-85°F and should never be exposed to frost or temperatures below 50°F.

      Philodendron Lickety Split is a moderate to fast grower that benefits from balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, tolerating temperatures down to about 30°F only briefly before cold damage occurs. It grows outdoors year-round in Florida, Hawaii, California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and coastal Oregon. It also grows well outdoors during warmer months in Nevada, New Mexico, and parts of North Carolina with milder microclimates.
  • Q: How often should I water Philodendron 'Lickety Split'?
    A: Every 7-10 days during the growing season. The plant wilts slightly when dry.

    Q: What window direction works best for this plant?
    A: Philodendron 'Lickety Split' does best in an east or west-facing window with bright indirect light. Keep it a few feet back from a south-facing window, as direct afternoon sun burns the foliage.

    Q: How large does Philodendron Lickety Split get indoors?
    A: It typically spreads 3-5 feet wide and reaches similar height with room to grow. Rotating the pot regularly encourages an even, full shape.

    Q: Is this plant safe around pets?
    A: Philodendron Lickety Split is toxic to cats and dogs. The sap causes skin and paw irritation, so place it on a high shelf or in an area pets cannot access.

    Q: Can Philodendron Lickety Split clean the air in my home?
    A: It actively filters formaldehyde and other household toxins from the air, making it effective for improving indoor air quality in any room.

    Q: What happens if nighttime temperatures drop below 55°F outdoors?
    A: Philodendron Lickety Split suffers cold damage below 50°F, so bring it inside well before the first autumn chill if you've moved it outside for summer.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
