Get that white princess on a moss pole or some other upright support ASAP! It’ll keep putting out bigger and bigger leaves if you give it some support. If you use something it can’t grab, make sure you tie it onto the pole and keep doing that as it grows. You’ll get big, gorgeous, showy leaves and it’ll grow faster than you think!

Also, philodendrons are prone to rust fungus, my white princess got it bad… if you see any signs of rust, treat it immediately! Otherwise it’ll scar your plants. I wish I knew about that before it happened to mine.
