Split-leaf Philodendron, Filodendro

About This Plant

Part shade/shade. Evergreen, with large, tropical foliage. Philodendron is a big, bold understory specimen that makes a nice centerpiece in shade under oak trees.

Origins: Paraguay, Brazil

Maintenance

Philodendron is easily damaged by freezing temperatures, so it’s best planted near south-facing walls for protection and winter warmth. Keep it mulched and out of direct sun; the appropriate soil moisture is best found in shade.

Expect to apply supplemental water during drought.

Dramatic leathery leaves provide a tropical effect for the shaded patio.
