Philodendron Selloum (now Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum) is a striking tropical foliage plant grown for its large, glossy, deeply cut leaves that form a lush, sculptural rosette. Capable of becoming a sizeable specimen, it makes a bold statement indoors in bright rooms or outdoors in shaded tropical gardens. As it matures it develops a short woody trunk-like base and an impressively wide spread. Tough and adaptable, it tolerates a range of conditions, helps freshen the air and asks only for warmth, indirect light and steady moisture. Architectural and easy-going, Selloum brings instant jungle drama to patios, atriums and large interiors.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Selloum?
Keep the soil lightly moist, letting the top few centimetres dry between waterings. Avoid both waterlogging and prolonged dryness.
How much light does it need?
It prefers bright, indirect light or dappled shade. Protect it from harsh direct sun, which scorches the large leaves.
Is Selloum safe for pets?
No. It contains calcium oxalate and is toxic to cats, dogs and humans if chewed, so place it out of reach.
How big does it get?
Indoors it reaches around a metre or more tall with a wide spread; outdoors in good conditions it grows larger, so give it space.
How do I propagate it?
Propagate from offsets at the base, from stem sections with nodes, or from seed; offsets are the easiest method.
Why are the lower leaves yellowing?
Some lower-leaf yellowing is natural ageing, but widespread yellowing suggests overwatering. Check drainage and ease off watering.
Can it grow outdoors in India?
Yes, in warm, frost-free regions it thrives in shaded garden beds and on patios out of harsh midday sun.
How often should I repot it?
Repot every two to three years into a larger pot, as it grows into a sizeable specimen and dislikes being too rootbound.
Does it need high humidity?
It prefers moderate to high humidity; in dry indoor air, occasional misting or grouping plants helps keep foliage lush.
What fertilizer should I use?
Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer during the warm growing season to support its large, vigorous leaves.
