I'd like some plant parents ideas for staking and repotting this Philodendron Dark Lord, please. It's currently in its 4 inch nursery pot and soil mix. I got it two months ago and let it acclimate to my home. Now that it's out of quarantine, I want to repot and put some sort of support on it before moving to gen-pop. My biggest issue is what to do about the large spacing between nodes. It's about 36 inches tall and that space that is bare is greater than 12 inches. In the pics, you can see it had close spacing at the bottom, then grew a long amount of stem and aerial roots, and then another closer cluster of leaves on top. Should I 1) air layer it in moss and then cut the middle to separate and pot up in aroid mix in the same pot 2) leave in the length it is now and put in on a moss pole so that later I can "chop and prop" it or 3) repot it in aroid mix and just give it a pretty trellis or cedar stake? I'm also open to other ideas!

    I would chop it now and pot them up separately with poles. 💚💚 Godspeed!!

    maybe try keiki paste if you don't want to chop? i heard some people have had luck with getting new leaves to grow using it. i recently tried air layering moss when fixing a leggy thai con and i really enjoyed it! it saved me from that awkward transplant shock phase when after potting water props. i wrapped saran wrap around each node to keep the moss moist so i didn't have to mist as much

      I recently bought Keiki paste to try out! I like that idea to help kickstart the air layering process... Then maybe if that experiment doesn't work, I can always chop it
