Philodendron Selloum
Philodendron Selloum, also known as Tree Philodendron or Lacy Tree Philodendron, is a tropical plant distinguished by its large, deeply lobed, glossy green leaves that create a dramatic, sculptural effect. It is native to tropical regions of South America, particularly Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. It can grow into a sizable, upright plant, making it an excellent statement piece indoors or outdoors in warm climates. Over time, it develops a thick, woody trunk, giving it a tree-like appearance.
This plant brings a lush, tropical vibe to any space and is known for its air-purifying qualities. It’s an easy-care houseplant and can thrive in various indoor environments.
Though it’s slow-growing indoors, in its natural habitat, Philodendron Selloum can grow into a large, sprawling plant with leaves that can reach up to 3 feet in length.
Care Tips:
Light: Philodendron Selloum prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows.
Temperature: It thrives in warm, humid environments with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Humidity: This plant enjoys higher humidity levels. Misting the leaves or placing the plant near a humidifier can help maintain its vibrancy, especially in drier indoor climates.
Soil: Use well-draining potting soil rich in organic matter. A mix with peat, perlite, and compost works well.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months.
Pruning: Prune any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking neat and encourage healthy growth. Wear gloves when pruning, as the sap can cause skin irritation.
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant outgrows its pot. This helps prevent root-bound growth and gives the plant space to thrive.
