Philodendron Bipinnatifidum Cutting. Philodendron make great houseplants because they thrive in normal indoor conditions away from direct sunlight. The leaves are simple large deeply lobed and are usually drooping.
You can safely give your philodendron a light trim any time of year to remove yellowing leaves and trim spindly growth. My 10 year old philodendron selloum has a 9 foot long trunk about 5 inches in diameter. Cutting back philodendron plants is beneficial if the plant is taking up too much space in the room or if the plant looks long and leggy.
Use a stem cutting with a leaf node intact as this is where roots will emerge from.
It was first named and described by heinrich wilhelm schott but i am not sure when. If you want to add a philodendron to your inside vegetation you don t necessarily need to buy a plant from a garden center you can grow your own from the cuttings of a mature plant. A good way to do this is following a pruning session to ensure leaves you have pruned from the plant do not go to waste and can be used to create new plants for your collection or to gift to friends.
