Philodendrons prefer being in chunkier soil instead of just potting soil because of how generally prone to root rot they are. To get the best growth, I’d recommend adding some orchid bark / perlite / charcoal to your potting soil in equal proportions. Also, ever since I got a humidifier, my philodendrons have grown much better!
