I’ve had this plant for about 6-9 months now, it seems to be growing well but my leaves are growing smaller then the original leaves at the bottom. Can I get some advice on how to help grow the leafs to its true size

I think maybe that pot is a bit large for the plant. It’s busy making roots in all that space. Pot should be 1-2 inches larger than the rootball. Is it directly in that pot without a nursery pot?

Yes it is directly in the pot. The nursery pot it was in was definitely smaller, but the root start growing out the nursery pot so got nervous thought it wanted more space.

Giving her a moss pole will encourage larger leaves and will take up some of that extra soil to keep from root rot. 😉
