How can I encourage better growth on my Philodendron Brasil? I want it to look bushier / fuller, especially near the base!

JeannieeCTrimming back leggy stems would help, or pinching back the tip of stems would encourage branching!

What I’ve also done is also cut propagate it and then when it’s rooted, plant it in the same pot (or bigger if the plant needs repotted)

SunnyAdd a grow light or give it filtered sunlight for 8 hours a day (East/South window). Fertilize every 2 weeks with 50% diluted fertilizer. The leaves should grow bigger with sufficient light and nutrients. My Brasil is in a 10” wide pot with many vines in the pot. It gets bright east and filtered west sunlight.

Wow, you have a very gorgeous plant! Mine gets about 8 - 9 hours of light per day in an east window, but I’ve never tried fertilizer. What product / brand do you recommend?

Sometimes I run out of store bought fertilizer, I use stuff out of my home- like ground coffee, egg shells, and banana peel soaked water. My plants love them.

Fertilizer is essential for plants to thrive. There may be timed released fertilizer beads from the nursery. But, it only lasts 6-8 months. I’ve used diluted Miracle Gro for many years. It works for me. I also use Osmocote fertilizer beads on some plants. SuperThrive plant vitamins works well on all my plants and propagation plants.

KadesI like to wrap my runners in the pot and pin them down so they’ll root in. After a while you can train them back up the trellis
