The Recovery of Philo
Hello all, This post is about the recovery of our beloved large split leaf Philodendron Selloum (Tree Philo). From my former post that showed the Florida freeze damage, this shows amazing recovery (at least in my book).
Here we are right at 2 months after I did all the pruning. What a comeback!
Just for an easy reference, if you don't click the full link above to see the previous damage, here is one of the "After Freeze" pics.
Needless to say I am overjoyed that "Phil" was able to recover and coming back strong. I think another month will be back to his old monster size self.
Other garden growth going well. More pics of the colorful flowers coming soon!
How is your garden doing? Have other areas started their spring?
We're already into summer with temps over 93 F today.
Oh wow, that is much better than you were expecting. It looks great! Maybe not quite as full as it was, but it will get there!
Yes, I thought it would take the rest of summer for it to be filled out again. I'm very pleased that it's growing back so fast. I think another month and it will be back to full glory and even better than before with all the weeds and underscrub gone now.
Awesome!
Looking good and tropical //
Feeling tropical today with it in the mid 90's!

Good old Phil!!! It survived your
hackingpruning, and the winter 💪 it looks born again like a young lad!lol, hacking is right. I felt like deep in the jungle chopping my way through. It's been cool to watch it growing back, noticeable even overnight.
Oh I remember it, it had a good recovery!
"Phil" had healthy roots and therefore came back in full force. I hope nothing bad happens to it and you will enjoy its beauty
Phil’s got that tenacious green glow back, no wonder you’re smiling.
Big smiles for sure each time I look at it growing now!
Amazing how resilient nature can be.
Sometimes you need to prune plants back drastically to let them grow back beautifully again.
And in this case it surely worked. Good job!
Was certainly a little unsure of this one. My first time with such a plant and amazed it could suffer all that damage and still come back.

STOPNice, so it didn't die completly. If the frost is only short and not too severe, many plants can manage to do a come back. Otherwise they would have died out long ago, I guess.
