Tree philadondron

Tree Philodendron (Philodendron bipinnatifidum), also known as Lacy Tree Philodendron or Selloum, is a bold tropical statement plant perfect for Perth gardens or large indoor spaces. Its massive, deeply lobed leaves form a dramatic, fountain-like canopy on a thick trunk over time. It’s hardy for a tropical, tolerating cold down to light frost once mature and thriving in part shade or filtered sun. As it matures, the trunk becomes a feature in itself, giving it a prehistoric look. Not a climbing variety—this one grows upright like a small tree.

Tree Philodendrons enjoy regular watering but hate soggy feet. A chunky, well-draining mix with compost and perlite suits it well. Outdoors in Perth, give it a sheltered spot with protection from harsh afternoon sun and drying winds. Indoors, keep it away from heaters or air-cons. Feed monthly in the growing season for best results.

If you want a Jurassic-style plant that grows into a sculptural masterpiece and can handle a bit of Perth’s odd weather, this is your guy. Makes a cracking focal point for food forests, feature beds or jungle-themed patios.
