Lickity Split Philodendron (Philodendron 'PHM1') Lickity Split Philodendron is a bold, tropical houseplant that delivers a lush split-leaf look without taking over your space. It is a great choice for anyone who wants dramatic foliage with an easy routine, since it grows as a tidy, self-heading plant rather than a long vine. With bright, indirect light and consistent watering after partial dry-down, it stays full and attractive in a pot. If you want a statement plant that feels tropical and modern at the same time, Lickity Split Philodendron is a strong pick. Distinctive Features This philodendron is prized for its deeply cut, fingered leaves that create an airy, sculptural silhouette and a true jungle feel indoors. The plant forms a dense clump with upright to arching foliage, giving it a naturally finished look without needing a trellis. Leaves are typically a rich green with a smooth surface, and the heavy leaf division adds texture and movement even when the plant is standing still. Over time, it can develop into a fuller, more substantial plant that remains more manageable than many large split-leaf types. Growing Conditions Sun: Bright, indirect light is ideal, and it tolerates medium light with slower growth. Soil: Airy, well-drained aroid mix that holds some moisture but never stays soggy. Water: Water when the top 2 inches of soil dry, and do not let the pot sit in water. Humidity: Average home humidity is fine, and moderate humidity supports best leaf size and condition. Growth Habit: Self-heading clump with upright to arching, deeply divided foliage. Ideal Uses Focal Point: Use as a floor or low-stand statement plant where the split leaves can create instant tropical impact. Corner Greenery: Place in a bright corner to add a lush look without needing a lot of horizontal space. Office Plant: Keep near bright, indirect light for a bold plant that stays tidy and professional-looking. Plant Groupings: Pair with glossy-leaf plants and trailing vines for contrast in form and texture. Low Maintenance Care Watering: Allow a partial dry-down between waterings, and reduce watering during slower winter growth. Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer at a moderate strength. Cleaning: Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and keep the foliage looking fresh. Repotting: Repot when rootbound and choose a stable pot to support the plant as it matures. Why Choose Lickity Split Philodendron?
