Philodendron 'Lickety Split'

What is the plant

Add a touch of the tropics to your indoor and outdoor areas with the Lickety Split Philodendron. This vigorous, self heading variety produces large, glossy green leaves that have an ever changing appearance over time. As this plant matures, each new leaf is different from the last, with more fingers and more frill. Flowering only occurs after the plant nears maturity, usually after 5 to 10 years. This plant performs best under full sun, although it will comfortably grow under shade as well. It is not suitable for growing in alpine zones.
