Know before you buy
While this plant thrives in bright, indirect light, it is quite resilient and can tolerate lower light conditions. It is an excellent choice for rooms that don't receive direct sun exposure.
You should water your Philodendron only when the top two inches of soil feel dry to the touch. This makes it a forgiving plant for those who occasionally forget their watering schedule.
No, the Lickity Split Philodendron is toxic to both pets and humans if ingested. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats, dogs, or young children.
At maturity, you can expect this Philodendron to reach between 2 and 3 feet in height and about 2 feet in width. Its compact but impactful size makes it ideal for floor placement or large plant stands.
Not at all. One of the best features of this variety is its ability to tolerate dry indoor air, making it well-suited for typical home environments without the need for a humidifier.
