Philodendron Selloum -
The Philodendron Bipinnalifidum is a plant that belongs to the Araceae and Subgenus Meconostigma family. The commonly used name is Philodendron Selloum. The Selloum plant is originally from South America. It can grow both indoors and outdoors. This easily maintained self-heading plant has dark green, shiny leaves that are deeply lobed. It grows a trunk when matured, that is usually hidden by the huge drooping leaves. Although the Selloum is a beautiful addition to any landscape, it is very poisonous. Caution is advised when pets and small children are around. The Philodendron Selloum thrives best in indirect sunlight. In less light, the plant's leaves tend to be darker. If exposed to too much direct sunlight, the Salloum's leaves will exhibit burns or fades. This plant thrives best in moist but not soggy soil and can be fertilized with a water-soluble fertilizer once monthly.
