I have this philo oxapense that I bought on discount. It is really leggy and weak and I want advice. I was thinking I either chop and prop it with the 2 leaves it has and hopefully it grows a stronger stem or I repot it so the stem is covered with soil and has more support. I don’t really know and would love some input. Thanks!

Their stems tend to be smaller and their leaves a bit thinner. I would recommend leaving her as is and see how she does. Make sure the pot size and soil are good and put her in a north or east facing window. She will thrive. 💚 Godspeed! 🥰
