@Alyssablue My Split Leaf Philodendron is often called a Philodendron Tree or Tree Philodendron. The big leaves a[[ear to be split when they are actually long-lobed. If that is a description? The leaves grow out from the side of what one might call a trunk. It can grow several feet tall in the right conditions. Mine are in the shade. So they grow much slower. (thank you very much!) While at first glance the may appear to grow outward like a monstera, a closer look at the trunk shows it to be very tree-like.
My monstera deliciosa grows like a vine. The leaves are more solid than split. They do form slits, but also have holes in them, hence the name, "Swiss Cheese Plant". The plant does better when supported with a trellis or pole. It will grow and wrap itself around a tree if you let it. If not supported it tends to fall and lay on the ground spreading that direction.
I also have a Philodendron Xanadu that resembles a miniature Philodendron Tree.
