Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum 'Hope'

philodendron hope

Also known as: Tree Philodendron, Lacy Tree Philodendron, Split-Leaf Philodendron

Philodendron Hope is a bold tropical houseplant known for its large, deeply lobed green leaves and full, sculptural growth. Native to South America, this lush Philodendron brings a dramatic tropical feel to indoor spaces while staying relatively easy to care for. Young leaves begin with a simpler shape and develop deeper splits as the plant matures, giving it even more texture over time. Philodendron Hope grows best in bright indirect light and warm indoor conditions, making it a beautiful choice for living rooms, offices, entryways, and other bright indoor spaces.

  • mature size

care

Place in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect light away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry and wipe large leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep them looking their best. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer — consistent feeding encourages larger, more deeply lobed leaves. Remove any yellowing leaves at the base to keep the plant looking full and fresh year-round.
