My friend gifted me this Philodendron Brazil as a rescue. It was leggy and has very thin foliage. I repotted it and had it climb on this moss trellis. Any tips for strengthening the vines? Also, does trailing or climbing help the plant more?

I find that most plants develop stronger vines when they can climb, so I think you’re on the right track. It looks good!

Thank you. It already looks so much better since I repotted it.

You can cut back the thin vines and propagate them. New growth will be encouraged once you prune it back a bit.
