Know before you buy
This plant grows into a tree-like form with large, sprawling leaves, so it is best suited for a corner or a spot where it has room to spread out. As it matures, it will develop a trunk, making it an excellent architectural statement piece for your home.
No, the Philodendron Selloum is toxic to pets if ingested. We recommend placing it in an area that is inaccessible to your animals.
You can increase humidity by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray filled with water, or placing it near a humidifier. This is especially important during the winter months when indoor heating can dry out the air.
Check the soil by sticking your finger about an inch or two deep; if the top layer feels dry, it is time to water. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this plant is not drought-tolerant.
No, it prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the large, dark green leaves, so it is best to place it near a window with a sheer curtain or in a spot that receives plenty of ambient light.
Yes, your Philodendron Selloum arrives fully potted in a 6-inch container with soil included. It is ready to be placed in your home as soon as it arrives.
