I’m new to philodendrons. Should i repot or prune my summer glory? She’s got 3-4 new leaves coming but I’m worried she’s crowded. Pot size is 6”

She wants to climb! Try a moss pole 😁

Ok, thank you, I’ll try that. I didn’t know philos were climbers!

Support to climb + enough light will give you BIG leaves 😁 a new pot for this one wouldn’t hurt either

How do you know it wants to climb? I have one of these and curious if mine does too…? 🤔

#### eatyacarbs replied on 2024-04-11

Here’s what we look like now. Bigger pot + moss pole! She’s been doing great!
