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.

They are her favorites
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef, Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
We’ve had many dogs, many very destructive ones and wish I had these years ago. The hard toys get sharp edges, this toy is the best and yes is far better than the other red ones. My bulldog wants tug of war for 30 min to an hour every night. We’ve gotten tennis elbow, tendinitis, and pulled muscles holding onto this thing. She has tons of toys but 9pm and this is only option for her. We don’t get a choice. Easy to hold, well for a few min until your hand gets tired. First you one was about 3 years ago and she’s only on her third one. They last forever, easy to clean, and aren’t sharp edges. Seriously, better than any toy sold anywhere. My phone has hundred of pictures of Pickle holding this. She’s doing it right now. If you have a strong destructive dog that takes pride in destroying toys, ruin their confidence and get them this one.

Perfect Toy for Large Dogs
Size: Medium, Style: Cheddar Cheese
I don’t normally leave reviews, but this toy is stellar and is a new favorite for my dog! She is a large dog (70lbs cattle dog lab mix) and I accidentally bought a medium, but it actually is a great size for her! So far this stands up to her chewing, but I may need to update in a few weeks to speak for durability but it really does feel solid. Most toys don’t last an afternoon once she starts chewing, so this has already won in that regard. The shape is perfect as well. She can gnaw at it, squeak, play fetch, play tug. It bounces when she throws it around herself. The fact it smells like stinky cheese is just an added bonus for her. All around, a very well designed dog toy!

Boxer Baby’s Favorite
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
This toy is my sweet girl’s absolute favorite. It was the first thing we gave her when we brought her home, and she has been obsessed with it since. She brings it from room to room, inside and outside. I would highly recommend this toy, however, we have gone through six in one year. They’re not very durable, especially with our boxer mix, who is a very heavy chewer. I’ve gotten the red and the blue, and she will only take red, which is fine with me because the blue STINKS. The red stinks too, but less so. The squeak is very loud, but she genuinely loves it so much that it’s hard to be annoyed by it. I’d say give the toy a try, you may be unintentionally giving them their favorite thing ever lol.

Design Hazard
Size: Medium, Style: Bacon, Size: Medium, Style: Bacon
I have one of these in a larger version I picked up at the petstore. This one I do not recommend. There is a whole in the center where the pet bites down and my doggies' teeth kept getting stuck in it. If you've ever had a toy get stuck in your pups mouth, you've seen how thet go nuts trying to get it out.

Cane Corso approved
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
I have two Cane Corsos, One is 80 pounds the other is 120 pounds. They can seriously destroy some toys very easily. These chewies have actually lasted for over six months at this point, which is pretty much miraculous. I bought them some more just so I always had plenty of them laying around as this discourages them from getting into trouble, chewing things they shouldn’t be chewing. They walk around with these and their mouths all the time and even after all these months, the squeakers still work. These are really high-quality and if you have a dog that just destroys toy toy, I highly recommend these. Even though they’ve had these for months, they go back to them to chew on and play with , it’s also really funny because they walk around with one and hanging out of their mouth and it looks like they’ve got a stogie hanging out of their mouth. If these toys can keep the interest and survive being mauled by these two giant Destructo mutts, then they must be really, really tough. I highly recommend these for super chewers. These even a hold up to having one dog, grab each end and then play tug-of-war with it. These guys can Easily go through A cow huff every day, but these toys are still going strong
