How to Care for Your Philodendron ‘Lickety Split’

Place your plant in a spot that receives bright, filtered light throughout the day. While it tolerates lower light, optimal growth and leaf size occur in brighter conditions. Use a well-draining, aroid-style soil mix rich in organic matter, and water when the top layer of soil begins to dry out.

This philodendron enjoys moderate humidity but will adapt well to normal household conditions. Rotate regularly to promote even growth, and wipe down the leaves to keep them free of dust and pests. As the plant matures, it may produce even more intricate splits and curly foliage.

Fertilize once or twice a month during the growing season to maintain lush, continuous growth.
