Philodendron bipinnatifidum what type of container would be best to grow in?

I have a Philodendron bipinnatifidum I want to put in a new container but have no idea what the roots are like. Do they like a tall container that tapers down so the roots and grow deep or would a boxy one be better? What ever is best I want to leave it in the new container for many years.

For long-term, I would recommend a boxy container, or/and a shallow one. They are what I like to call semi-epiphytic. Most Philo's if not all, end up with many aerial roots anyway. So, a deep pot is not preferable.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Here is the look I am going for, mine does not have a trunk yet.

After doing some searching it looks like they like to be a little root bound and in the summer I want it to be by my little water feature so I have a pretty good idea what to do now. Thanks

Here is what mine looks like and the space I like to put it. Would sit on a 12” square just above the water.

They are not getting to much sun, they only recieve dapple sun for half a day and less than one hour of full sun in the morning….As the leaves age they turn darker green.

What you are seeing is all new growth from this summer. Has been in that spot since May 15. But I can see why you would think that. Whats funny is I was thinking it wasn’t getting enough full sun,,,,LOL!
