Philodendron Selloum Plant In 10 Inch Black Nursery Pot

The Philodendron Selloum Plant is a large, tropical foliage plant known for its deeply lobed, dramatic leaves. It is currently classified as Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (it was formerly placed in the Philodendron genus, which is why many people still call it “Philodendron selloum”).

🌿 Key features

• Huge, glossy, split leaves that give a jungle-like look
• Can grow into a large indoor floor plant over time
• Very hardy and forgiving compared to many tropical plants

☀️ Light

• Bright, indirect light is best
• Can tolerate partial shade, but growth becomes slower
• Avoid strong direct sun (it can burn the leaves)

💧 Water

• Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry
• Do not overwater—root rot is the main risk
• Reduce watering in winter

🌱 Soil

• Rich, well-draining mix (cocopeat + garden soil + perlite works well)

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal: 18–32°C (very suitable for Gurgaon indoors/outdoors in shade)
• Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below ~12°C

💦 Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity, but adapts well indoors
• Occasional misting or wiping leaves helps keep it fresh

🌿 Care tips

• Wipe leaves regularly to keep them dust-free and shiny
• Give it space—it grows wide over time
• Repot every 1–2 years if it becomes root-bound

⚠️ Common issues

• Yellow leaves: overwatering
• Droopy leaves: underwatering or shock from relocation
• Small leaves/no growth: low light or nutrient deficiency

If you want, I can compare it with rubber plant or dracaena so you can decide which one fits your home best.
