My philo birkin has been putting out multiple all-white leaves in a row that I have since cut. I’ve heard you can cut the main stem to reset, but this makes me nervous. I’ve just been snipping the leaves off as they come out. I’ve tried all different lights and am at a loss. Any recommendations?

you have to cut it 😬 sometimes they just don't listen. chopping is the only way. looks like you have a good bit of space at the top to chop with, you won't damage anything.

Thank you! I did it 😬

Have you let the white leaves mature? Mine has been doing the same, but as the leaves mature they have been greening up.

They just turn brown and crispy if I leave them 😕

Where do you have this one? I put mine on my front porch that is south facing with some sun and she is THRIVING!

I wouldn’t cut it anymore. Mine did this \& they turn green after some time
