Care Tips
Water the Split-leaf Philodendron when the top layer of soil begins to feel dry, ensuring you avoid over-watering to prevent root rot. Due to its large leaf surface, it benefits from periodic cleaning with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its luster and aid in photosynthesis. If indoor air is dry, consider misting the plant or using a humidifier to replicate its natural habitat.

Planting Tips
When potting, select a container with good drainage to prevent water-logging. A soil mix designed for philodendrons or a blend of potting soil and perlite will ensure optimal growth. When positioning the plant, ensure its roots are well-covered, but be cautious not to bury the stem too deeply.
Maintenance
Given its rapid growth and expansive leaf span, occasional pruning can help manage its size and shape. Trim away any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking vibrant. As it matures, consider providing a support structure for its aerial roots.
