I’m a new philodendron parent, and I was wondering if my baby would end up vining out, kinda like ivy or like string of hearts? Any tips on care?

They are very easy to care for. often i don't water mine for a month bc they will get yellow leaves however i do mist them with purified water every morning. they like bright indirect light so i put mine beside my window behind a curtain!! she is thriving. just let them be and they will thrive on their own!!

Thanks for the advice! I’m currently working on getting a mister! Would a normal spray bottle work as one??

I’m my experience this kind of philodendron does not vine out like you’re thinking. I could be mistaken because I don’t have this kind but I have some philodendrons that vine and some that just kind of grow up. This looks like the latter.

Here’s my red Congo that just kind of grows up.
