Description

Philodendron selloum, now classified as Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum, unfurls large, textured leaves cut into deep lobes. With age, its stem becomes a real little trunk and the plant takes on the look of a tree. Indoors, given space, it can reach 1.5 to 2 m.

Where to place it

In a spacious living room or a bright entrance, where its leaves can spread out. A large picture window with a sheer curtain is ideal. It copes with a covered, sheltered terrace in summer.

Caring for your Philodendron selloum

Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry; cut back considerably in winter.
Give the pot a quarter turn every month for a balanced silhouette.
Cut old yellowing leaves off at the base: that's normal — the plant renews itself from the top.
Feed it every two to three weeks in spring and summer with root feed for foliage plants.

The right potting mix

A rich, free-draining mix. Our Alocasia and tropical plant mix suits it; for a very large pot, add bark chips to keep the soil airy.

Mistakes to avoid

A pot that's too small: the plant tires quickly and becomes unstable.
Heavy watering in winter in a cool room.
Direct afternoon sun on the leaves.

Frequently asked questions

How much space should I allow?
Allow at least 1.2 m across once mature: its leaves spread as wide as they grow tall.

Every plant is chosen and checked at the studio before it leaves. Delivery anywhere in Morocco, or collection from our studio in Rabat. A plant that arrives damaged will be exchanged: let us know within 48 hours with a photo.
