Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light encourages healthy growth and bold leaf development. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch foliage.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; overwatering can lead to root issues.
Soil: Use a well‑draining, nutrient‑rich aroid or indoor potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark enhances airflow and prevents waterlogging.
Temperature: Prefers indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity supports robust growth and well‑defined leaf splits. Occasional misting or a humidity tray can help in dry environments.
Growth Habit: Upright and clumping with bold, deeply lobed foliage that develops striking splits as it matures.
Pet Safety
Philodendron ‘Lickety Split’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children. Ingestion can cause oral irritation, swelling, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
