Commonly known as the Split-leaf Philodendron, or the Horsehead Philodendron, this fast growing plant is native to subtropical regions of South America, namely to Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay. With its incredible, distinctive, vibrant green leaves with crinkled edges, the Philodendron Selloum is sure to bring the jungle to your interior space! Lighting Selloums love the light! However it can live without it (or without too much of it). You should keep this plant in indirect bright light, where it's comfortable for you to read a book without the lights on. But if you have a place brighter than that- feel free! Just make sure that the brighter spot doesn't receive more than 4 hours of direct sunlight a day Watering Water this plant when the first 2-3 inches of the soil is dry, that's about once every 2-3 weeks.
