Selloum Philodendron care
Comments (10)Hey Billy...A 4 foot pot? LOL>.I'm sure you meant 4-inches.. I keep mine in a bright, but no direct sun south window..Because the soil dried fast, I repotted in a 8" no-drainage pot..Once a wk it goes in the sink for a shower, and daily misting..ST once a month, and 2-3 fertilizings in summer.. Selloums grow fairly fast... Yours is so cute..nice foliage..Toni...See MorePropagating Philodendron Selloum
Comments (3)"Selloum" has been sunk into synonymy under Philodendron bipinnatifidum. Same plant but the name that is considered the correct name was published years before the name Philodendron selloum which makes it the correct name. The species is a member of Philodendron subgenus Meconostigma and is not always easy to propagate. The subgenus Meconostigma contains all the Philodendron species we commonly call the "tree Philodendrons". You can do cuttings of the stem (which is not the support for any single leaf) at the base of the plant so long as there are nodes and aerial roots present. The easiest way is to simply top the plant above a node and take all the roots with the top cutting. That plant can then be potted and the old stem which is now leafless will eventually produce new leaves. The stem is the central axis of the plant and provides support. The petioles that support the leaves grow from nodes along the stem. Unfortunately collectors often call the petioles that support the leaves the "stems" which is incorrect. If you cut enough of the stem then you can divide it and plant the pieces on their sides and they should start new plants. In time the plant should produce offsets around the base of the stem which can easily be divided and started in a new pot. Since the plant is commonly produced via tissue culture it is often inexpensive in a nursery or department store. Generally it is faster to just buy another plant but if you are like me it is more fun to grow your own.

Comments (8)How deep is the planter? 35 feet is quite a distance. The most handsome treatments I've seen have a repeat pattern of complimentary foliages & color. In 35 feet 3 repeats would work well. And something draping over the edge at intervals would break up the length and add interest. Oriental lilies do better with some winter chill. Asiatics would be more likely to establish. Lollipop is excellent and better looking than its photos if creamy pink fits. Dwarf bougainvilleas (3 feet), Calla lilies accept full sun, the single bright ivy geranium I like best with daylilies - don't know name - took my starts from a public planting, Osteospermum also spill over (after spring bloom shear back), dwarf agapanthus, Geranium 'Rosanne' weaves into nearby plants, Gerbera daisies. I find my best combinations at the nursery by dragging pots around to see next to one another....See MoreSelloum questions
Comments (4)Oh, good, I am glad I can transplant them. No-care plants are looking better and better to me! Kat, the photo below is for your enjoyment(G). They stink horribly! I can't get the stench off my hands, and all I did was pull off a few brown bits of old leaves for the pictures. I swear I didn't touch the "goods!" It is a much worse odor than poo, anal glands, vomit or even dead fish! YUCK! But, you can't smell it unless you touch the plant. Weird! Lisa...See Morejules127
