A native of South America, the Lickety Split Philodendron, also known as Lacy Tree, Horsehead, or Philodendron bipinnatifidum, has deeply-lobed leaves with a slight ruffle.

Best Locations For Growing Lickety Split Philodendron
The main requirements when choosing a spot for the Lickety Split Philodendron are sunlight and space. This plant needs plenty of sunlight, and while houseplants do not grow as large as plants outside, it will still get rather big. An open area near east- or south-facing windows will be a wonderful spot for this tropical beauty.
Lickety Split Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
The Lickety Split Philodendron is adaptable when it comes to sunlight and can live in medium to bright indirect light. The plant may fail to thrive in low light, and the leaves may turn yellow. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the lovely leaves.
Lickety Split Philodendron Care
This plant may become leggy with age. Overgrowth can be trimmed to encourage new leaves and a bushy look. The best time to prune a plant is before a regular fertilizer dose. Increase the light after pruning Lickety Split to help support new growth.
Watering Lickety Split Philodendron
Feel the soil to gauge the level of dampness, and water when the top few inches of soil are dry. Overwatering is a bigger problem than underwatering, so wait another day or two if you are unsure when to water. When watering, thoroughly wet the soil until excess water drains through the holes in the pot. The Lickety Split Philodendron can live in average humidity, but high humidity is best. Mist the leaves or use a pebble tray to keep the greenery full and lush.
Feeding Lickety Split Philodendron
The Lickety Split Philodendron responds well to regular feedings during the growing season. Use a balanced, water-soluble plant food once per month. The Lickety Split Philodendron is a large, fast-growing plant, and fertilizing it will support new growth and help the plant reach its potential.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
