My heart-leaf Philodendron propogation seems super healthy but isnt growing. Should I transfer it to a smaller pot? Im worried thats part of the reason.

I would put it in a small nursery pot. Is it rooted? If not root it in water first and wait for the roots to have roots before putting in a small pot.

Its fully rooted, he actually has pretty substantial roots as I propogated him hydroponically for quite a while. I'll move him to a smaller pot though, thank you!

I’ve made this mistake many times with cuttings, I wouldn’t put a cutting that size in anything larger than a 2in pot :)

It’s already in there. And it’s in terracotta which will help avoid over watering. I would wrap the trailing part over the soil and hairpin it down so that the nodes root on top of the soil. I’d water more lightly for a while until the plant started to fill out…
