The bold, glossy, dark green leaves of the Philodendron Selloum, which can reach up to three feet in length, are well-known. With its deeply lobed leaves and wavy, serrated edges, the plant has a sculpture-like appearance. Its broad, split-leaf structure gives it the common name “Split-Leaf Philodendron.” The trunk of the plant gets thicker and more noticeable as it ages, giving it a semi-tree-like appearance and enhancing its overall grandeur.
