Philodendron Hope

Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum 'Hope'

philodendron hope

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

Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, Philodendron Hope is one of the most eye-catching and easy-going indoor plants you can own. Its large, deeply split, glossy green leaves grow on long graceful stems, filling any room with a bold, jungle-like presence that gets more impressive over time. What surprises most people is that the leaves start out simple and heart-shaped when young, then slowly develop those beautiful deep splits as the plant grows.

plant tips

water
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water thoroughly and allow excess to drain completely.
light
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun which can scorch the leaves and avoid deep shade which causes slow, leggy growth.
zone
Houseplant.
size
Grows up to 5 ft. tall and wide indoors.

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.
