Philodendron 'Lickety Split' (Philodendron bipinnatifidum) is a bold tropical houseplant from the Araceae family, native to the rainforests of South America, particularly Brazil and Paraguay. It brings that lush, jungle-floor energy indoors, making it a standout easy care plant for anyone who loves large indoor plants with real presence.
What sets Philodendron 'Lickety Split' apart is its dramatic, deeply lobed foliage that fans out in a wide, architectural spread of rich glossy green. Each leaf is deeply cut with a lacy, almost feathered edge, giving it that split-leaf philodendron look that plant lovers go wild for. It grows as a compact, multi-stemmed clump rather than a single trunk, making it a fuller, bushier choice than many of its relatives. This is a true architectural houseplant that earns its place as a focal point in any room.
Rather than being grown for blooms, Philodendron 'Lickety Split' earns its reputation as a standout tropical floor plant through its air-purifying abilities. It actively filters formaldehyde and other indoor toxins, quietly working to improve the air quality in your home around the clock. That combination of striking good looks and clean-air performance is exactly what makes this lickety split philodendron such a rewarding plant to live with.
Philodendron 'Lickety Split' is a wide spreader, so give it room to stretch, and rotate the pot every few weeks so every side gets even light exposure. Keep it away from south-facing windows where direct sun will scorch those beautiful leaves, and position it away from air conditioning vents or heating units since blasts of dry or cold air stress it out. The kitchen is actually a great spot, as ambient moisture from cooking suits it well. Sap from Philodendron 'Lickety Split' can cause skin and paw irritation, so cats and dogs shouldn't be left to nibble or eat the plant, and it is best placed away from small children. A high shelf or a dedicated corner out of reach works perfectly. On warm summer days, it loves a stint outdoors in a shaded, sheltered spot, and as a bonus air purifying plant, it genuinely earns its keep indoors all year long.
