Philodendrons can certainly be grown as houseplants. However, it is always a difficult adjustment for a plant growing in the ground to be moved into a pot. Pruning the plant back beforehand will help, along with other strategies to prevent transplant shock:

If the shrubs don’t make a healthy transition, you can save the plant by making a cutting, rooting it and growing it in its own pot:
