Philodendron Lickety Split

Philodendron Lickety Split

This is a hybrid with huge leaves and curled edges.  New growth has a lime green color.  This plant grows up to three feet high and wide indoors.  The leaves can grow up to three feet.  This plant is poisonous.  Fertilize every month during the spring through fall with a water soluble fertilizer.  Too much plant food causes excess salt build up in the soil that can result in leaf burn.  

 - Bright indirect light.  Lower light leaves turn dark green.

- Warm temperatures above 55 degrees.  Keep away from drafts and open doors.

- Grows best in rich, slightly alkaline soil

- Moist soil-during the winter, water less often, keeping the soil barely moist.

- Native to South America

* Like all philodendron, can be toxic if ingested by humans or pets.
