If you don't have one, get one. Trust us!
So, Selloum's make great "filler plants" - unobtrusive backdrops of green - that support other house plants that typically want a bit more of your attention.
But don't underestimate the Split Leaf's ability to WOW all by itself either. Pot it up nicely, give it a bit of height (shelf, plinth, large coffee table), and you've got something of a stunner.
These gorgeous fillers are popular for a reason (not just a season): they're easy, every green, fairly quick growing, and are an "instant Urban Jungle switch".
Do it now!
Please note: These plants are considered toxic, keep out of reach of children and pets.
