House Plant Shop Philodendron Lickety Split

The 'Lickety Split' can reach a height of nearly 5 feet. Since it features a wide, sprawling leaf structure, ensure you have a dedicated corner or floor space that allows for both its vertical growth and its horizontal spread.

Moderate watering means you should allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry out completely before watering again. Always check the soil moisture with your finger rather than sticking to a strict calendar schedule, as light and temperature levels will change how quickly it dries.

While it can tolerate lower light levels, it will grow much slower and may lose its signature lush, deeply lobed appearance. For the best results, place it in a spot that receives bright, indirect light, such as near an east-facing window.

You can increase humidity by grouping it with other houseplants, placing it on a pebble tray filled with water, or using a humidifier nearby. These methods help mimic its native tropical environment and prevent the leaf edges from browning.

It arrives as an established plant in an 8-inch container, so it does not need to be repotted immediately. It is best to let the plant acclimate to your home's environment for a few weeks before considering a move to a larger decorative pot.
