Becky H on Jul 13, 2012They do look similar. Keep in mind, there are different types of split leaf philodendrons. The 2nd pic. looks like the leaves ruffle a little at the edges and the lobes look a bit deeper. For sure they're in the same family.Helpful Reply

Angela A on Jul 13, 2012I do have to bring mine inside every year, thats why I havent planted it in the ground. I need to pot it up bc I didnt last year. maybe I'll try a piece of it in the ground and see if mulching it over will allow it to winter over in GA. Thanks!!Helpful Reply

Becky H on Jul 13, 2012I have had 2 of these planted in my yard for years. They got to be 8' tall. Several severe winters knocked them completely to the roots, but those suckers came right back in the spring. Now, we've never had enough snow here to test that, but we have had temps. in the 20's, and they survived those. It's just as well the cold knocked them back to the roots, because here in Fla. (planted in the ground), they go nuts w/growth.Helpful Reply

Sharron W on Jul 13, 2012@Angela Maybe in an area sheltered from the worst of the cld, like a corner next to your porch...something like that....I've actually had snapdragons that were in bloom with snow on them...early december I was out and saw the blossoms and said, hey it's winter what are YOU doing up? LOL but the were on the front porch which has a brick facade to protect from most of the wind, but no roof...so maybe those will make it...Helpful Reply

Angela A on Jul 14, 2012I did just plant a shade garden, I think I will add it to it! Where I keep it now in the planter, is a shaded area and it does great...it does have an area that is blocked by other shrubs quite well so maybe in that area it would do well, but again I could cover it, I have some sago palms I planted this year I will need to cover as well so no biggie....Helpful Reply
