My Philodendron is growing like crazy and keeps getting taller. I’ve been staking and tying it up but I don’t know what to do as it keeps growing on top! Do I keep tying it to stakes? Thank you!!

Try a trellis, it worked for me. It still grew but it took much longer to outgrow. I just got a taller one when it did.
