# I quite literally don't understand this 😂 I got this white princess…

_Posted by Rain 🌧🌱 on 2025-06-27_

I quite literally don't understand this 😂 I got this white princess philodendron cutting from my aunt back in February and it's been pretty slow growing. I'm not concerned about that, he has 2 new leaves since I got him and he's currently trying to put out another leaf but this is just ridiculous. Instead of growing off at the bottom, he's decided to grow from the top through the smallest leaf on the plant. I don't understand him but he's happy 😂

Philodendrons mainly grow from the top. You could give it a bit more Sun or try fertilizer but any growth is good.
