Philodendron selloum ‘Hope’ is a hybrid species of the very popular and easy to care for genus of common house plants called Philodendrons. It is also known as Philodendron bipinnatifidum, and is native to Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay in South America. This tall growing, shrub-like tropical plant has unique, green foliage with large growing, uniquely shaped leaves! With age, the leaves take on a deep-lobed pattern. Being a standard Philodendron, it appreciates moderate lighting and has moderate to heavy watering needs but tends to be quite forgiving on both ends of the spectrum. While the original Philodendron selloum can grow quite large outdoors (around 15 feet tall and 15 feet wide), this 'Hope' hybridized version only grows to be around 4' tall and 3' wide, making it much more manageable.

USDA Hardiness Zones 9-11

Container Gardens/Terrariums/Houseplant:

Philodendrons are one of the most popular house plants due to their attractive foliage and ease of care. This plant is pretty versatile at different life stages, but can last very long-term as an attractive house plant. It prefers evenly, almost constantly moist soil, but needs drainage and will not do well in a soggy environment. The leaves of this plant are significantly more toxic than the standard Philodendron if ingested, and is therefore not recommended to a household with pets that tend to chew on leaves. The sap may also irritate sensitive skin.

Josh's Frogs offers a wide variety of glass terrariums, container garden soils, drainage layers and other supplies for all of your indoor gardening needs.

Vivariums/Animal Terrariums:

Due to its large growing size, this species of Philodendron is not recommended for vivariums or terrariums.

As good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants from Josh's Frogs are treated only with products that are OMRI Listed© for use in organic production. Live plants may vary in color, size and appearance.
