Hi sunnyshine, Welcome to ATP! That's a lovely Philodendron pedatum you have; one I've never seen for sale around here but I rarely see any philo's except the common heart leaf vine. I don't know what area you live in but I'd say as a house plant make sure it gets plenty of bright light but no direct sun which may scorch the leaves. Make sure you use a well draining soil, one that is not heavy and water-retentive; keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy and it should do just fine. I'd say your plant could be potted up to a larger container also. Philo's like high humidity and you can sit your plant on a tray of moist pebbles which will help keep the humidity levels up. Keep us posted on how that beauty does for you!

I googled and found information for P. pedatum at the Exotic Rainforest site: http://www.exoticrainforest.co... It really is a gorgeous Philo!
