Too big of pot :)

Philodendrons love airy soil. I use aroid soil for my philodendrons

do you have any soil brand recommendations?

### CrazyPlantLady commented on 2025-02-01

Do you by a chance have any good local plant shops around? They should carry quality soil if not lmk and I’ll give you a homemade soil mix recipe that will work.

### CrazyPlantLady commented on 2025-02-01

Otherwise mollys aroid soil mix on Amazon is good ! I usually buy my aroid soil at my local plant shops ❤️

I'd suggest a humidifier. They can help leaves unravel faster and not get stuck :)

MOSS POLE!! 10/10 recommend!
