Philodendron bipinnatifidum
Last month I posted a picture of the fiddle-leaf philodendron growing in a pot in my dining room. It has been a delight all winter, growing fast and maintaining a gorgeous, translucent green in spite of the weather outside - and the dry air inside. I put it in the ground a couple of weeks ago, and look at it now! Ha - just kidding. I took this picture at Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida last week. (80 degree day, bright blue sun - a dream of a day. I love Florida.) Fiddle-leaf philodendron was all over the place in Florida, even showing up as a mailbox vine from time to time. Here it is growing happily at the edge of a pond. Do you think I'll be able to get leaves that big on a potted plant? What about flowers? Here's hoping!
I think getting a plant with leaves that big are certainly worth a try!!! Maybe having it outside in the summer will make it grow gangbusters.
