Are philodendron poisonous to cats or dogs?
Yes! Philodendron are toxic to both cats & dogs. They contain insoluble calcium oxalates. These are crystals that are released when chewing or biting into any part of a philodendron. This can result in oral irritation including swelling of the mouth and tongue, excessive drooling, trouble swallowing, digestive issues and even seizures.
How big do split-leaf philodendron get?
A fairly slow grower but a split leaf philodendron can get up to 3 feet tall and wide.
Is the split leaf philodendron the same as a Monstera plant?
Despite sharing a name, they are completely different plants. The split-leaf is technically not a philodendron. It was classified as a totally different genus many years ago. The swiss cheese plant has holes in the leaves, they do not 'split'.
