Philodendron 'Splendid' is a stunning plant hybrid that results from the cross-pollination of two different species, namely Philodendron melanochrysum and Philodendron verrucosum. The plant is an evergreen vine that features large, heart-shaped, velvety leaves with vibrant green colouration and striking silver veins that shimmer in the light.

Philodendron melanochrysum is native to the rainforests of South America, specifically in the countries of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It grows as an epiphyte, which means it grows on other plants for support rather than in soil. In the wild, it is often found growing on trees, logs, and rocks, where it can climb and spread its large leaves to capture sunlight.

Philodendron verrucosum is also native to the rainforests of South America, specifically in the countries of Colombia and Ecuador. Like melanochrysum, it is an epiphyte that grows on other plants for support. It prefers shaded areas and can often be found growing in the understory of the rainforest, where it receives filtered light.

Both species are adapted to grow in warm, humid environments with ample rainfall, making them well-suited for indoor cultivation in homes and offices with similar environmental conditions. When grown indoors, Philodendron 'Splendid' will thrive in a bright, indirect light location with consistent moisture and regular fertilization during the growing season.


To care for Philodendron 'Splendid,' you should place it in a spot with bright, indirect light and avoid direct sunlight. The plant likes to be kept moist but not waterlogged, so make sure to water it when the top inch of soil feels dry. It is best to fertilize it every 4-6 weeks during the growing season, which is from spring to autumn.

In terms of styling, Philodendron 'Splendid' looks stunning when grown in a hanging basket or trained to climb up a moss pole or trellis. The plant is also a great addition to any indoor jungle or tropical-themed decor, adding a touch of lush greenery to any space. You can even mix and match it with other philodendron varieties to create a beautiful and diverse plant collection.

Overall, Philodendron 'Splendid' is an excellent choice for any plant lover looking for a unique and beautiful plant to add to their collection. With the right care and styling, it can thrive and bring a touch of the rainforest into your home.

Philodendrons would make a great houseplant gift for friends or family - surprise them with rainforest style! Low-maintenance and an excellent choice for anyone new to growing houseplants. This plant will thrive as long as its water only when it's completely dry and kept in a warm and sunny spot.

Philodendron care level

This plant is easy to care for, great for beginners.

Where should I put this plant?

Philodendrons like a shady corner, it will also enjoy a sunny spot, so it’s not a fussy plant.

How should I water this plant?

Water when the top two inches of soil are dry, make sure you don’t overwater this plant. This plant requires a little more humidity and fertilising than other philodendrons. Give it a spray with our tropical dew. 

Should I feed this plant?

Feed once a month in spring and summer with liquid plant food. Why not try our own vegan, organic plant food? 

When developing our original Happy Houseplants’ Organic Tropical Plant Food, we decided not to tinker with it too much, so you'll find no chemical supplements in this 100% cruelty-free vegan product. Our indoor plant fertiliser is handmade on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in Devon, exclusively for Happy Houseplants, and has been developed by the team at Happy Houseplants and expert horticulturists with decades of experience. Many people struggle to understand how to feed houseplants, but our original vegan plant food has been designed to make feeding houseplants simple. 

Our organic indoor plant food is made from Seaweed, harvested sustainably. Seaweed provides a delicate blend of growth hormones and micronutrients that is perfect for all indoor plants. Houseplants grow throughout spring, summer and autumn, so they will benefit from organic fertiliser during this time to encourage flowering and keep them healthy and well. 

Is this plant suitable if I have pets?

This plant is toxic to cats and dogs.

What size is this plant?

W17cm x H60cm.

A bit wider than I expected
Style: Coyote
I thought this was going to be a "flat" toy but was a bit surprised to see that it was more of a 3D shape than flat. It's unfortunately a bit too wide for my small/medium sized terrier so he really only grabs and chews on the tail and ears. It is pretty durable though and has held up well.

Toughest dog toy we've ever owned! Jasper approved!
Style: Elk, Style: Elk
If you are the owner of a "power chewer" who usually turns standard plushies into a snowstorm of stuffing in under five minutes, the HOUND2O Elk Stuffed Animal is the heavy-duty solution you’ve been looking for. This isn't just a toy; it’s a rugged piece of outdoor-grade gear that manages to stay "plush" while being nearly indestructible. Here is why this elk is the gold standard for aggressive chewers. The "Ballistic" Build The secret to its toughness lies in the materials. Unlike cheap fleece or thin polyester, the HOUND2O Elk is engineered for extreme durability. Ballistic Nylon Shell: The body is wrapped in high-denier ballistic nylon—the same type of material used in tactical gear. It’s incredibly resistant to punctures and tears from sharp canine teeth. Reinforced TPR Accents: The "antlers" and specific high-wear points are reinforced with Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). This gives your dog a satisfying, grippy texture to gnaw on without compromising the toy’s structural integrity. Extreme Stitching: The seams are double-stitched and recessed, making it nearly impossible for a dog to find a "weak spot" to start a rip. Built for Adventure: This toy is marketed for "outdoor adventures," and it truly lives up to that branding: Water-Resistant & Buoyant: Unlike most stuffed animals that become soggy, heavy sponges, this elk is water-resistant and it floats. It’s the perfect companion for a trip to the lake or a game of fetch in the pool. Easy to Clean: Because the material is so dense, mud and slobber don't soak in deeply. A quick rinse with a hose or a wipe-down with soap and water makes it look brand new after a day in the dirt. High Visibility: The vibrant colors and distinct shape make it easy to spot in tall grass or murky water, so you won't lose it during a long-range game of fetch. Engaging (But Tough) Squeaker For many aggressive chewers, the goal is to "silence" the squeaker as fast as possible. Protected Internal Squeaker: The squeaker is buried deep within the ballistic layers, making it much harder for a dog to pinpoint and puncture. It provides that high-value auditory feedback that keeps dogs engaged without being an easy "kill point" for the toy. Performance at a Glance Durability - Ballistic nylon and TPR are a "power chewer" dream. Versatility - Floats, easy to clean, and works indoors/outdoors. Engagement - Mixed textures (nylon + rubber) keep dogs interested. Value - Outlasts 10 standard plush toys combined. The HOUND2O Elk is a 10/10 for any pet parent tired of throwing away shredded toys. It is incredibly tough, intelligently designed, and built to withstand the "ruffest" play. While no toy is truly 100% indestructible for every single dog, this is as close as a plush-style toy can possibly get. If your dog loves the "thrill of the hunt," try hiding this elk in some tall grass or bushes outside. Its tough shell can handle the brush, and it’s a great way to provide mental stimulation alongside a heavy chewing session!

Good looking toy that has held up well
Style: Coyote, Style: Coyote
Very durable toy that our little dog especially loves. It's the perfect size for a small dog and she doesn't destroy toys anyway so it's been great. It does feel very durable though and would take our chewer a little while to get to it as well. I'm not sure it looks like a coyote but the dogs don't seem to mind. It's an attractive toy that looks great and is constructed well so it's not like a slobbery mess when left out. Good value for the money and would make a great gift because it looks higher quality than most toys.
