Philodendron 'Lickety Split'

Lickety Split Philodendron 🌿✨ is loved for its large deeply cut leaves and full tropical shape, giving any room an instant jungle feel with very little effort. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the foliage stays lush and the plant can size up beautifully without harsh sun stressing the leaves. This is a generally easy plant that handles average indoor conditions well, though it appreciates regular watering and a little room to spread out as it matures. Pro tip: wipe the leaves now and then and rotate the pot for even growth, because dust and one-sided light can make a big leafy plant look less full 💧.
