Hello Mr. Plant Vibrations, Thank you for sharing your knowledge regarding the beautiful Split Leaf Philidendron plant. I have one is about 8 years old in the same terra cotta pot (14 inches) and I kept this plant outdoor at all times. I have cut it down for about 7 times and the spring came around it came back beautifully. We got the freeze in early 2021 - I thought I lost my plant. I cut all the damaged leafs and voila it came back around April. FYI - last year (August 2020) I divided my plant into 3 pieces. Each piece has equally 3 leafs. I gave 2 pieces to 2 friends. Now my outdoor plant has totally 5 healthy leafs. May GOD always bless you my young friend ❤
Not less more often. That's counter to everything I've ever had to do to keep mine healthy. It absolutely depends on your zone/environment That's the most important part. I've collected and grown over 48 years. Yes I'm older than I look lol. Thank you for your vid tho. I love to see younger people get into gardening. ❤
Thank you! Informative. Just bought 2 big ones from my local Lowes. Live in the South so I will definitely gradually give them some a.m. outdoor sun since our spring/summer sun can be brutal. New subscriber.
Thank you for this video! very informative; I just got one of these, and your advice will help me take care of it. I will follow all your recommendations.
hello and thank you for the very informative video! I’m happy to get a concrete care guide for these guys as i just got one :) i do have a couple of questions regarding the care, feel free to skip if it’s too many lol 1) the one i have is very bushy with many small leaves but is it best to prune them off and let the bigger more mature leaves stay? 2) does the splits in the leaves become more prominent the older the plant get? 3) is it normal for the leaves to have a sort of plastic feel to them? I’ve tried to find the answer to these to no avail so i hope you can help me :) thank you in advance. also a bit of info on the one i have: i keep it in a west facing window (since it’s the only window i have) so it gets a few hours of direct sun, the rest medium/bright indirect. i also have a humidifier running for about 5 hours a day next to it and i try to water when the soil is dry..
You can certainly trim off smaller ones! I do that with my monstera, just keep about 7-9 leaves at any time. Yes as the plant matures it will get deeper splits. I also found that mine lived being in a slightly larger pot than I originally had it growing. That way the roots have space to grow and the soil remains moist longer (which I also found to be beneficial)

Awesome video. Can you please make one about wildflower mixes? I live in Chicago. It gets so cold and I want to plant wildflowers in a large section the garden. I want to know when to plant, how long will they survive until next winter and things like that. I hope you could do that one.
hey rafael. im glad you enjoyed the video! coming from indianapolis, i know how frigid those winters can be. i will do my best to broach the topic of wildflowers. thanks for the comment
This plant just never does well with me...yellow splotches and droopiness. I let the water drain, discard it and check the top layer for dryness before I water it...still, it won't get dark green leaves. Maybe you are right about the heavily and deeply watering versus smaller amounts more often. I will give it a try. My ficus elastica does so well...I guess some plants are not a match?
Mine is in Southern California, in the corner offset from my east facing patio glass door. Its elevated in a wood stand and gets watered weekly. I rotate it a quarter turn daily to give all the leafs sun. Ive been misting the leafs daily. Is this good-bad? Chris
It’s indoors and asking for friends. My tiny apt has persian rugs, art prints and a bookcase full if half forgotten classics on arcane subjects. French copper glistens in the also tiny kitchen. And, it wasn’t complete. You bring in a houseplant? Thus Spracht Zarathustra plays on the radio
Can you do a video on how to propagate it? My mother in law wants a philodendron. I got mine from a friend apparently it is over 50 years old. It is doing well in my home. Occasionally I get yellow leaves. I'm still figuring out how to cate for it. It has gotten very wide. Should I cut dropping stems?
Spilt leaf philo: There are opinions that it is slow growing! Is this true? Through my follow-up, I found that it is not slow, but depends on moisture and good fertilizers
It also depends on the established root system. We have a HUGE one outside, under the trees, and we lost it during a Texas freeze because we didn’t bring it into the greenhouse on time. When it came back in the spring it just took it a few months to get as big (if not bigger) than it was before!
Our split leaf philodendron is about 20 years old, and huge. We plan to move it from a very sunny spot in the sun room into a somewhat lower light part of the room, and repot it. What should we do with all the roots it has put out? Some are about 6 feet long. Will it harm the plant to cut them off? One of them is rooted into the snake plant pot next to it.
You can feel free to cut away any of the aerial roots that you want. i would definitely cut the one that has landed in the snake plant (lol). they don't serve much function when on a plant growing inside. it won't harm the plant by trimming them off
They’re super easy to propagate by taking a cutting of the stem and placing them in water. Ensuring the stem has a leaf node or if it is a thick stem ensuring it has a few rings
Just a few days ago I repotted my philodendron and since then I have 2 yellow leaves. In the past I would cut them off. Am I doing right by the plant with this method or should I be doing something else?
I also tend to cut the yellow leaves off as soon as they start. but with this plant, its such a slow grower that maybe leaving one on wouldn't be the worst thing, just to keep it from looking too bare.
I have these all in my yard in south texas and they are massive!
lucky!

Awesome!!! I love this plant, you’re going to enjoy it for many years
Hope u treated for spider mites ❤ yellow specs are spider mites damage
Thank you for this video! very informative; I just got one of these, and your advice will help me take care of it. I will follow all your recommendations.
So glad you found the video. These plants are awesome!!
Another great video! When will we see you again on QVC for Robertas?
wednesday at 9am and 7pm!!
Your brain fart around 8:10ish, was absolutely amazing.
Haha

@@plantvibrations thanks! Ill be aware.

Hmm maybe try potting it up to a larger container. I found mine started taking off when I did that!
I'm having the same issue lately.
Same. I just repotted mine too but it still gets soggy leaves that fill with water and die
Hi pleas talk about Areaka plant
Hi Devin. What soil do they like? I have one - it’s outside but it’s getting a tad cold here at night in Phoenix low 40S. Maybe I should bring it in.
I find they like a rich soil! and you're probably right on the cusp. anything below like 43 would make me nervous
Mine is in Southern California, in the corner offset from my east facing patio glass door.
Its elevated in a wood stand and gets watered weekly. I rotate it a quarter turn daily to give all the leafs sun.
Ive been misting the leafs daily. Is this good-bad?
Chris
Hi Chris, they love the misting. If it’s outside in SoCal, you could water it with more frequency and it’ll grow much faster
It’s indoors and asking for friends.

My mother in law wants a philodendron.
I got mine from a friend apparently it is over 50 years old. It is doing well in my home. Occasionally I get yellow leaves. I'm still figuring out how to cate for it. It has gotten very wide. Should I cut dropping stems?
I wish I could! Unfortunately it’s no longer with me, it stayed in Colombia when I moved back home
Spilt leaf philo:
There are opinions that it is slow growing!
Is this true?
Through my follow-up, I found that it is not slow, but depends on moisture and good fertilizers
i also found the same. when it was confined to a small pot it grew slowly. but took off as soon as i potted it up to a larger container
It also depends on the established root system. We have a HUGE one outside, under the trees, and we lost it during a Texas freeze because we didn’t bring it into the greenhouse on time. When it came back in the spring it just took it a few months to get as big (if not bigger) than it was before!

Thank you, Devin. We have subscribed and look forward to learning more about house plants.
Can we get a update on this plant? How large is it 3 years later?
Unfortunately I had to leave it in Colombia when I moved back to the states
@@plantvibrations oh, okay! Your video review was great as I just picked up one, similar size yesterday. Thank you for the update!
I have two of these that I inherited that are super old. How do I propagate these?
They’re super easy to propagate by taking a cutting of the stem and placing them in water. Ensuring the stem has a leaf node or if it is a thick stem ensuring it has a few rings

What size pot should I use 🤔
I found they like to have ample root space
Can i water from the bottom?
It wouldn't be horrible to do so, though i do not
