Philodendron’s are loved for their foliage and for being easy to care for. They come in many varieties and the ‘Lickety Split’ is sure to impress. Every leaf is unique and you never know what shape it is going to grow into. Lickety Splits are a rich green with new growth coming in lime.
This plant gives off a very tropical feel. That, combined with its impressive size, means this is quite a statement plant. Be prepared when buying one that it will eventually need a sizeable corner to sit in.
