Hi. This is my new baby. Its a heart leaf philo. I am new to all of this and was wondering how I can make this plant more full. I just purchased her a few days ago and put the sticks in to hold it up a little. Any advice will be sooo appreciated. Thank you! 🤍🪴

It’s leggy from lack of light, unfortunately the only way to make it fuller is to cut and propagate. I’ve seen people using a cloning hormone but haven’t done it myself

Wrap some of those longer pieces around the inside of the pot. If they start growing aerial roots (like the do to climb) they will make their way into the soil and fill up the pot. I have done this with my golden pothos.

And you can take cuttings, root them (in water, perlite, or soil) and then pot them up together
