If you’ve ever had a philodendron, you know they are fairly easy to care for, and the Lickety Split varity (with the cutest name ever), is no different. These plants have grace abound. They can grow in flexible light conditions, and can survive occasional neglect. This non-picky plant is perfect for a novice houseplant gardener.
The leaves of the Lickety Split are a bright green with deep splits that give the plant a very tropical appearance. Think Jurassic Park jungle-like foliage. The plant processes a fullness of the leaves as well, which makes a statement in any space.
Philodendrons in general are an easy win in our book. They are very green, full plants that are also easy to care for. What’s not to like? The Philodendron Lickety Split hybrid, however, feels a little extra special. One particularly interesting aspect of this plant is how the leaves are not uniform. Each new leaf that grows is a little different than the others, so as your plant grows, it will actually transform a little bit—amazing right?
