Philodendron ‘Lickety Split' 8" Pot

Big, deeply cut leaves that bring instant tropical drama.

The Philodendron Lickety Split is made for anyone who wants bold tropical foliage without the vines. Its large, glossy green leaves are dramatically divided with wavy, jagged edges, creating a lush, sculptural look that adds texture and movement to any room.

Unlike climbing or trailing Philodendrons, Lickety Split grows in a full, self-heading form, producing new foliage from the center and developing into a substantial statement plant as it matures.

If you’re looking for an easy-care tropical houseplant with large split leaves, this one delivers serious jungle energy without needing a moss pole or trellis.

Styling Tip

Give your Philodendron Lickety Split a little room to spread.

Those deeply divided leaves look especially beautiful beside a sofa, console, accent chair, or in an empty corner where the plant can add both height and width without making the room feel cluttered.

Pair it with a simple ceramic, stone, concrete, or earthy planter and let the foliage become the statement. Against light walls and neutral interiors, its deep green leaves really pop.

For an indoor-jungle look, layer it with smaller trailing plants underneath. The contrast between tiny vines and Lickety Split’s oversized, sculptural foliage creates a much more intentional plant display.

Good to Know

Lickety Split is a self-heading tropical plant, so it grows very differently from climbing Philodendrons. There’s no need to attach it to a moss pole or trellis — simply give it enough space for its foliage to expand.

Allow the upper portion of the soil to dry before watering again. It prefers a well-draining potting mix and doesn’t appreciate sitting in consistently soggy soil.

Medium to bright indirect light will encourage fuller growth and help the plant produce strong, healthy foliage. It can adapt to somewhat softer indoor light, but very dark conditions may result in slower growth.

If you’re searching for an easy-care split leaf houseplant with large tropical foliage, Philodendron Lickety Split brings bold texture, lush greenery, and statement-making shape to your indoor space.
