Philodendron selloum Seeds

Common Name: Lacy Tree Philodendron

This plant is native to South America, namely to Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay. Philodendron selloum is a tropical plant that is usually grown in full sun, but can tolerate and adapt to deep shades. It grows best in rich, moisture-retentive soil that can be slightly alkaline. However, it cannot tolerate high salt concentration in soil. It is capable of supporting itself at massive heights by producing tree-like bases. However, it will exhibit epiphytic characteristics if given the opportunity to attach itself to a nearby supporting tree and climb upon it. The trunk of this plant can send down many strong aerial roots that not only give support to the overall plant mass, but also serve to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. This plant is greatly known for its ease in covering a land mass, and typically spread out its tree-like trunk from anywhere between eight to ten feet. Alternatively, if grown in cooler climates with at least some freezing winter weather, its entire aboveground structures will die back completely at a hard frost and then sprout back from the roots the following spring. Leaves can grow up to 4-5 m tall and wide. This plant also contains a spadix and spathe that are usually white or inflorescent.

The leaves are simple, large, deeply lobed, and are usually drooping. These can grow up to 4-5 m wide, and are attached to long, smooth petioles. They are a deep green color, and since these plants are grown in the tropics, there is no apparent color change that correlates with the fall season. The trunk of P.selloum is relatively thick and woody with characteristic “eye-drop” leaf scars. Approximately 15-20 years is required for P.selloum to grow to an appropriate size and produce flowers in an indoor environment where space is limited. The small, petalless flowers are on a spadix that is enclosed within a spathe.
