    Hello. What is the name of the plant in the adobe-colored planter? The photo was taken in the summer when the plant was outdoors. In northern VA, I moved it indoors in the Fall. I am slowly but surely killing it- at the tips, the leaves started turning yellow...I gave less water, then they turned brown, then brown; one leaf branch/stem remains, no longer upright. The leaf stems easily/cleanly break off. There is new growth at the base. Need to know how to care for it. M

    Looks like Philodendron bipinnatifidum, Tree Philodendron.
