We bought our house in 1975 and the Philodendrons were in the ground when we moved there, they were in an area that got watered twice a week from the irrigation system or when it rained. We currently have tenants in the house and they haven't used the irrigation system in the 14 months that they've rented from us. The last time I went by there the lawn sure looked awful but the Philo's were as awesome looking as ever! These are some old photo's from summer of 2011; the last photo is the P. bipinnatifidum growing in full sun.
In late December 2010 we had some really cold weather with ice and temp's dropping to 24ºF, this is the result :
Ice on the leaves 12/29/10 ........................................ and a couple of weeks later 1/19/11 after even more cold:

~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot!
