A split leaf is Monstera deliciosa.
It is basically a whole leaf w/ cut-outs, holes or splits.
It's a HUGE vining plant.
It has edible fruit.
And as the name says it is deliciosa-ous!

Philodendron bipinnatifidum is a lobed plant that doesn't vine.
It comes up from a base.

Here's the difference w/ a young MD in it's new home.

The planter is 2' across.
It and the P. bipinnatifidum next to it are in new rolling planters I'm finishing this weekend.
They are 7' tall and weigh over a 100 pounds each when watered.
My partner suggested them as we were getting tired of dragging the old pots in a out each year.
