The Split Leaf Philodendron is a well-known plant that is a new addition to the Plants by Mail catalog! These tropical houseplants are highly sought after because of their large, leafy foliage. So, if you are searching for a refreshing change - let us introduce you to your new favorite philodendron. Philodendron can be a slow-growing plant that will take 10 to 15 years to fully mature if planted indoors.

What's the difference between Split Leaf Philodendron and Monstera Deliciosa?

Split Leaf Philodendron is commonly mistaken for the monstera deliciosa or Swiss Cheese plant, but these are two different plants. They both are tropical plants with glossy green leaves that feature breaks in the foliage, but that's where the comparisons stop.

What Makes Split Leaf Unique?

The Split Leaf Philodendron has significant splits that extend out from the center and reach up - similar to fingers on an outstretched hand. The fringe of the split leaf ruffles slightly, giving the foliage a rolling appearance with lots of textures. There are also no swiss cheese holes in these leaves.

What Makes Monstera Deliciosa Different?

Swiss Cheese Plant has much larger foliage with no ruffled fringe and an almost leathery appearance. Each Leaf is much larger than the split leaf, and it features a mixture of both splits and swiss cheese-like holes in the foliage.

Where to Use Split Leaf Philodendrons

These tropical plants are members of the Araceae family and are native to the tropical and subtropical climates of Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay.

Planting Outdoors

In subtropical and tropical climates, this plant is an aggressive grower outdoors. It can be grown outdoors in USDA Zones 9-11. When the philodendron plant is young, provide it with special care in the winter months during intense bouts of cold.

Fully mature split leaf plants can average 15 feet tall and 15 feet wide when grown outdoors. Give them ample space to spread their limbs, and this tropical plant will fill an area with a lush green texture.

Growing Indoors as Container Plant

Split Leaf has become a darling houseplant in social media over the past couple of years, and it's easy to see why. Split Leaf Philodendron grows at a far more modest rate indoors. They will be confined by the size of the room and their pot when used as a houseplant. They grow to a maximum height of 6 feet tall by 6 feet wide.

Choose a container that is right for your area. If you choose a smaller container, the root ball will be contristicted and the plant will have a far more modest growth habit. If you choose a pot that is larger, it will allow the root ball to get larger and the plant will become taller and fuller as a result.

Their characteristic ruffled leaves will remain a part of their growth indoors, but they do not get as large as they would outside. The leaves also can cleanse the air by removing formaldehyde.

Like other Philodendrons, the Split Leaf enjoys moist soil that is never soggy! Excessive moisture can quickly lead to root rot at the base of the plant.

Split Leaf Philodendron Care

Are Split Leaf Philodendrons Cold Hardy?

The split leaf philodendron plant is hardy in USDA Zones 9 - 11, making it a tropical plant that doesn't tolerate long bouts of cold. Therefore, you should give extra care to these plants in the winter months of USDA Zone 9 areas. Philodendron prefers high humidity and moderate temperatures year round.

Since these Split Leaf plants are commonly used as houseplants, you can bring your container inside any time to avoid less than ideal conditions.

Sunlight Requirements

Split-leaf philodendrons need lots of bright indirect light to thrive. However, don't plant them in full sun, or they may brown. Instead, provide them with lots of dappled or indirect sun to help them thrive. Low light conditions can lead to leggy plants reaching for the sun.

Planting Tips

Well-draining soil is essential for Split Leaf Philodendrons as they are highly susceptible to root rot. Use neutral pH soil mix for best results. This indoor plant enjoys moist but not soggy potting soil. Allow the top 2 inches of the soil to dry before watering again. Yellow to brown leaves is the number one sign of overwatering your root ball.

Cleaning this plant is a relatively easy task, but it is essential to the health of the foliage. You will want to routinely mist the leaves with water and wipe them down with a soft cloth.

Fertilizing is a great way to ensure that your split leaf remains healthy and thriving. When it comes time to fertilize, we recommend once a month from spring until fall.

Amazing fit, great quality material
Size: 30W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey, Size: 30W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey
I ordered this pair of denim pants in my usual size (30x32) and they fit amazingly. The cut is slim, but not overly tight. The material is the perfect thickness and seems to be of excellent quality, with a slight stretchiness to it. They are slightly softer than most denim pants I have worn. I am finding that they are great for both business casual settings with a button-up shirt and more informal "dress down" type situations with a t-shirt and sneakers. This is probably my favorite pair of jeans that I have gotten in at least a few years, and I would highly recommend overall.

Soft, comfortable fitting jeans
Size: 30W x 30L, Color: Black Rinse
Good quality and a great slim fit, but a bit expensive for a blend. Since they aren’t 100% cotton, they have a slight stretch that makes them more comfortable and softer than standard jeans. I’m happy with the look and feel, but I’ll have to see how they hold up over time.

Very nice and would highly recommend!
Size: 32W x 30L, Color: Medium Grey
The fit is exactly what I was looking for, slim without being too tight, and it fits true to size, so I get that modern look but still feel comfortable sitting or walking around all day. The denim feels soft yet sturdy, which makes me confident it’ll hold up well over time. I also love the classic 5-pocket design. It’s functional and keeps my essentials handy without adding bulk. The color holds up after a few washes, and there’s minimal fading so far, which is a big plus for me. Pairing these pants with a casual tee or a button-down is effortless, they easily transition from work to weekend vibes. For the price and quality, I feel like these are a solid addition to my wardrobe. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a slim, comfortable, and versatile pair of jeans.

They feel like cardboard
Size: 36W x 29L, Color: Medium Grey
I kept these hoping to replace a denizen slim 216 that I can’t find anymore. These are not as a soft and rather quite stiff, maybe due to the recycled content. They might do for the occasional trip out of the house but I’m not impressed and glad I didn’t pay full price.
