Philodendron Selloum 'Hope' - 5x Seeds Philodendron Selloum is a beautiful large-leaved plant that has been grown by collectors for many years. It’s an easy-care species that will adapt to almost any growing conditions provided you give it plenty of light. One of the larger houseplants you can have, the Philodendron Selloum, aka Philodendron Hope or Philodendron Bipinnatifidum, is a relatively popular indoor plant and is pretty often confused for the Monstera Deliciosa. Philodendron Selloum is an exceptionally beautiful foliage plant, which is usually grown for its impressive leaves. When mature, the plant forms a sturdy trunk, making this species one of the true giants of the Philodendron family. Philodendron Selloum is a large and impressive plant that can grow to 4 or 5 feet in height with leaves up to 90 cm long and 60 cm wide. The plant is part of the Araceae family and has thick stalks which support the leaves. The leaves droop as they mature and are glossy and dark green. These plants are commonly referred to as hope Philodendron and are commonly kept as houseplants worldwide. They can also be grown outside in the right climate. General ’Philodendron Selloum 'Hope' Growing From Seed Planting Advice Seed Starting Method No special pre treatment is required for this variety. It’s not necessary to pre-soak the seeds, but it can definitely be helpful. To soak them, pour some warm-hot water into a jar, drop the seeds in, and leave them in the water for 24-48 hrs Sowing Depth 1-2mm - press them in and lightly cover with soil Growing Season Spring / Summer but will germinate year around in sheltered & warm conditions Germination Time The seeds germinate anywhere from a few weeks upto a month Hardiness Hardy Plant Spacing A few inches apart in a larger pot or singular in small pots Plant Height Planting Position Partial or full sun - The more light you can offer the seedlings the better they'll grow Days Until Maturity Plant out into larger pots when seedling show signs of good root development. Growing tips Cover your pots with cling wrap or similar and place them in a warm sunny position. Keep moist but not soggy. Don't allow your soil/ potting medium to dry out. Once the seedings start to emerge, you can start hardening them up by removing the plastic covering for increasing blocks of time. Eventually you can remove the covering altogether and mist them so they can get the humidity they need. Keep the soil moist while the seedlings are still small, but as they grow you can start letting the soil dry out a little more between waterings. Do not be too hasty to discard seeds that have not yet germinated, seeds will often lay dormant (in hibernation almost) until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination and sprouting to occur. Containers placed to one side & forgotten about will often surprise long after they were discarded.
