What happens after the Tree Philodendron blooms and drops its blooms? Mine bloomed then closed back up tightly then one fell off. Will these pods reproduce? I have had this plant for 29 years and this spring is the first time it has bloomed. I am curious and know nothing about this plant. It was sent when my father-in-law passed. I have babied it and now we have to put it inside my husband’s shop in the winter. It has a baby growing beside it. Can this be removed and live on it’s own? I would appreciate any info you could give me about this split-leaf philodendron. My plant looks just like the one on your website that has the bloom pods on it.
Gail,
I think the natural process of the blooms is to open and die off quickly. The baby can be removed and potted on its own to create a new plant. This article might help http://www.uaex.edu/yard-garden/resource-library/plant-week/tree-philodendron-1-13-06.aspx.
After having this plant for 34 years, this year seven blooms showed up….1st time ever. At what point do i remove them from the plant ? 2 of them have opened / closed and fallen off . The insides are very gummy and sticky. I have one that is open now but if it stays true to form will close tonight. Please help
Tommy,
The natural process of the blooms is to open and die off quickly. The flowers should be gone in a week or two and your plant will be fine. Hope this helps.
