Hey! Just got a pink princess today for a steal!! But it looks like there’s two plants, would you separate or let them cohabitate?

    Also if I put a moss pole do you wrap or go straight up?

      For those specific ones , leave them together, unless you want to separate them, but their roots are already intertwined and all that, but it can’t hurt to keep them together, and when you get a moss poll just have them upward, and find some soft and comfortable for them to hold it up don’t force it to move any way it may not want to go

      These are self heading, they will just grow upwards

      Really?? Usually my huge philo.s I get a pole just to help support them, does that hurt them?

    I’d definitely leave them together. The biggest challenge with PPP is that they can look sparse/leggy, and two plants will help. Most actual moss poles that are commercially available have a specific front surface that you’ll grow the plant up. If you’re looking at coco coir poles, I’d honestly recommend just getting a stake or dowel instead because they’re the same level of benefit (physical support) without being as visually obtrusive or expensive.

    I would leave them until they are bigger and then decide. Because these often use growth hormones, it's very common to get multiple plants in a pot. It doesn't hurt them. My OPG has like 5 plants in.
