This philodendron has grown significantly since I first got it and now im thinking that it would be a good idea to chop it and then propagate part of it. Where is the best place to chop it to get a propagation? I also noticed a small plant growing, and I believe that it is also growing a pup but I’m not sure?

I would recommend you put mama on a moss pole and just divide the baby at the roots. Godspeed! She’s beautiful. 💚💚
