Frequently asked questions
Why are the new leaves of the Philodendron Lickety Split less deeply divided? The divisions form mainly with good indirect light: in partial shade, the new leaves remain smaller and have fewer lobes. Move the plant closer to a window, without direct sun.
How much space should I allow for a Philodendron Lickety Split? Allow about 80 cm of width once established, as its long petioles spread out like a fan, for a mature indoor height of 80 to 100 cm.

🌿 Leaves divided into wavy lobes • 💚 Vivid, bright green • 🪴 Dense clump, no support • ⛅ Bright light or partial shade • 💧 Moderate watering • 👍 Easy-care • 📏 H70 cm | Pot Ø19 cm
Philodendron 'Lickety Split' bears large leaves deeply divided into irregular, wavy lobes, in a vivid, bright green. A horticultural hybrid originating from species in the tropical forests of South America, it belongs to the philodendrons that are self-supporting: all its leaves emerge from the heart of the plant on long petioles, forming a dense clump that does not climb.
At 70 cm tall, it immediately adds the volume of a tropical plant, with lighter, airier foliage than a philodendron with full leaves. It is one of the large indoor plants that are easy to live with: no support, no pruning, and tolerant of partial shade.
Which philodendron should you choose?
The philodendrons in the catalog, according to the desired leaf shape:
- Philodendron 'Lickety Split' (this plant) — large leaves divided into wavy lobes, upright clump, H70 cm. The medium-sized option with divided leaves.
- Philodendron Selloum 'Atom' — small, wavy, curly leaves, compact habit, H25 cm. The mini version for a shelf.
- Philodendron Pedatum — finely fingered leaves, climbing habit on a support, H130 cm. The tallest version.
- Philodendron 'Imperial Green' — large, full, glossy oval leaves, also available in H65 cm. For more understated foliage.
Its divided leaves are reminiscent of those of the monstera: our philodendron or monstera comparison helps you choose between the two.
Light & placement
Lickety Split likes light without direct sun. The more it receives, the larger and more deeply divided its new leaves will be; in partial shade, they remain smaller and less lobed.
- Light: bright and indirect, 1 or 2 meters from a window; partial shade tolerated; avoid direct afternoon sun.
- Placement: living room, office, bright corner of a room, next to a sofa or a window with a sheer curtain.
- Temperature: between 18 and 27 °C, never below 15 °C.
- Avoid: radiators, air conditioning directed at the plant, and cold drafts.
Allow for about 80 cm of width once established: its long petioles spread out like a fan and the clump widens over the years.
Watering & care
Like all self-supporting philodendrons, it tolerates missed watering better than waterlogged soil. Lower leaves that turn yellow generally indicate overwatering, as explained in our article on yellowing leaves.
- Watering: moderate — when the first 3 to 4 centimeters of potting soil are dry, about once a week in summer and every two to three weeks in winter.
- Water: at room temperature; empty the saucer after 15 minutes.
- Fertilizer: houseplant fertilizer, once a month from spring to the end of summer.
- Humidity: the ambient air in a home suits it; more humid air produces larger leaves.
- Repotting: every two to three years in spring, in a pot 3 to 5 cm wider; follow our guide to repotting houseplants.
Dust the leaves with a damp cloth, supporting each lobe from underneath: the cut-outs are delicate and crease if pulled.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Its airy, deeply cut foliage instantly creates a jungle atmosphere, especially surrounded by plants with solid or patterned leaves, as in our complete philodendron guide.
- To contrast the shapes, pair it with an Alocasia wentii — its large, solid heart-shaped leaves contrast with the philodendron's cut-out leaves.
- To dress the base, place a Calathea Makoyana in front — its low leaves patterned with dark green add a motif in the foreground.
- For a luminous touch, add a Maranta 'Fascinator Lemon Lime' — its lime-green veins complement the bright green of the lobes.
- To enhance the pot, choose the Elho B.for Soft anthracite decorative pot, Ø22 cm — its clean lines and dark color highlight the plant's split-leaf silhouette.
Place it in front of a light-colored wall with light coming from the side: the cuts in its leaves cast graphic shadows that become part of the decor.
Verdeia tips
- Rotate the pot each month: the petioles grow toward the light. A regular quarter turn keeps the clump round and balanced instead of forming a fan leaning to one side.
- Leave the aerial roots: a few thick roots may emerge at the base of the petioles. Guide them toward the potting soil; they help the plant stay upright.
- Slow down in winter: space out waterings and stop fertilizing from October to March, as outlined in our 5 steps for indoor plants in winter.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?

What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
