# I live in an extremely rural Appalachian area and have recently…

_Posted by Moonscar1 on 2024-08-06_

I live in an extremely rural Appalachian area and have recently picked up growing tropicals as a hobby. They can be somewhat rare to find and I rely on big box stores. I usually rush to the indoor section, but a worker let me know they recently got these in stock. Not only were they massive, but they were also acclimated to full sun! It know has some shade, but my newest and biggest plant now lives on my front porch!

EDIT: Realized I never actually named the plant 😅😅. This was labeled as Split-Leaf Philodendron or Philodendron Selloum.
