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.

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.

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.

If we care about racism and white privilege, what should we do?
Format: Kindle
One hundred and fifty-two years ago, slavery ended in the United States. And yet the tentacles of that time touch lives every day, all these years later. What can be done to make things better? Michael Eric Dyson, a sociology professor at Georgetown University, and an ordained Baptist minister, suggests that white people who care about the lives of black people should make individual reparations. In his book, Tears We Cannot Stop …A Sermon to White America, Dyson says, “{Black people} built a legacy of excellence and struggle and pride amidst one of the most vicious assaults on humanity in recorded history. That assault may have started with slavery, but it didn’t end there. The legacy of that assault, its lingering and lethal effect, continues to this day. It flares in broken homes and blighted communities, in low wages and social chaos, in self-destruction and self-hate too. But so much of what ails us—black people. That is—is tied up with what ails you—white folk, that is. We are tied together in what Martin Luther King Jr. called a single garment of destiny. Yet sewed into that garment are pockets of misery and suffering that seem to be filled with a disproportionate number of black people.” The book, unlike Dyson’s other scholarly works, takes the form of a worship service, and uses the concept of an extended sermon, or jeremiad, to lead the reader through confession, repentence, and redemption “through the long night of despair to the bright day of hope.” In Dysons’s view, “whiteness is a problem to be struggled with,” and his book is of inestimable value in grappling with the struggle. The book speaks at length of police brutality against black people, and fervently tries to create empathy in white readers. It includes an extraordinary bibliography of books which give insight and voice to black history, oppression, pain, achievement, and lives. And it speaks of reparations, and our responsibility as white beneficiaries of an unequal system, to take concrete actions to right the wrong, the change our country and the lives of our black sisters and brothers and their children. Dyson is imaginative, and has many suggestions for how an individual or group “I.R.A.”—an Individual Reparations Account. We could buy books for black college students, overpay our black accountant or hairdresser, pay the black person who cuts our grass double the amount on the bill, give to the United Negro College Fund, and more. He suggests that faith groups consider giving 10% of their revenues to a church I.R.A. In an interview in the New York Times Magazine, Dyson says, “If the sermon ain’t making you a little bit uncomfortable, it ain’t effective. Look, if it doesn’t cost you anything, you’re not really engaging in change: you’re engaging in convenience. I’m asking you to do stuff you wouldn’t ordinarily do. I’m asking you to think more seriously and strategically about why you possess and what you possess…..you ain’t got to ask the government, you don’t have to ask your local politician—this is what you, an individual, conscientious, ‘woke’ citizen can do. I have read many—though surely not all—of the books Dyson recommends. I have grappled with white privilege as a mother of black children, a fighter against apartheid, a civil rights activist, a human being. I have never read anything which more cogently offers “woke whites” a path to being a part of the change. I urge you to read Tears We Cannot Stop …A Sermon to White America, and to take your place in the pantheon of people who help this country grow beyond its racist past.

Powerful and especially so read aloud by the author.
Format: Audio CD
Hearing this powerful book read by Dr Tyson made it doubly understandable and enlightening. I needed to hear the experience, hurt and anger expressed so incredibly honestly and with the power of his emotion. I saw the CDs here at a reasonable price and I am so much more aware hearing rather than reading this book. Dr Tyson teaches powerful historic and current systemic racial experience such as every white person will do well to encounter. If you want to learn more than you already know, listen to these CDs on Black experience from Dr Tyson. Could be disturbing to anyone who does not want to learn the truth he teaches. It’s so packed with truth I will listen to it more than once more. Thank you, Dr Tyson.

brilliant, painful
Format: Hardcover
Timely, provocative, brilliant, painful, and, ultimately, a very necessary step toward authentic national healing and transformation. As a white, long-time fellow traveler, I am so grateful that Dr. Dyson has answered his calling to lead us toward redemptive justice with truth, decency and love--albeit, at times, necessary tough love. I am in my third read already and learning more and more each time. Dyson's sermon serves as an exceptional read for believer and non-believer alike as it offers a framework and lexicon for us to engage with one another as we work our way through ongoing racially turbulent and polarized times. I am not a critic by trade so I will leave the professional analysis to the experts. I am a K-12 educator and seeker of social justice. I found this work both accessible and challenging in the best of ways. In my daily work, the evidence of the invention of whiteness, white innocence and white fragility and their pernicious impacts are ubiquitously abundant such that Dyson’s claims simply cannot be denied. Dyson’s sermon is not always a comfortable read. That’s the point. It is a workout for the soul and psyche that results in the growing pains necessary for personal and collective liberation. Thank you, Rev. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, for opening your head and heart so broadly and deeply there is room enough for all of us in this racial healing process. The writing of this book is the ultimate act of truth and forgiveness. You have entrusted us with your most profound insights, personal experiences, and extend a vulnerability that humbles and arrests me. As you shared in a recent interview, "your trust in us grows out of forgiveness and the demand for truth for which is stands on, and the love it seeks to extend". Amen! I am in!
