Plant Profile: Philodendron selloum

The 'Tree philodendron' is a tropical species known for its large, striking leaves, commonly cultivated as a houseplant in temperate regions. While it can thrive in deep shade, it flourishes best in bright, indirect light and requires consistently moist soil. To prevent salt accumulation, it's advisable to flush the soil regularly or use distilled water for watering. This plant can also develop aerial roots that help it absorb water and nutrients.

CAUTION: Consuming large amounts can be toxic, leading to intense oral pain. Skin irritation may occur but is typically minor and lasts only a few minutes.
