Thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum 'Selloum'
This plant produces large, glossy, lobed leaves. They have potential to become impressive specimens in a home environment given proper care. Give this plant moderate to bright, indirect light and a large space to grow out. Like most aroids, use well-draining soil mix and water thoroughly when mostly dry.
Thaumatophyllum Spruceanum (Philodendron Goeldii)
This easy care plant is unique in many ways. The more leaves they grow, the more circular the head of the plant becomes. They like bright, indirect light.
