Hi All. Recently bought my first philodendrons. I’m wondering if/when I should repot this lovely. Root to soil ratio seems pretty good, but she’s so top heavy and I would like to get her climbing on something soon - have yet to decide what. Currently in a 4” pot. Would sizing up to this 5” x 5” be a good idea? Or should I leave things be for now? Or go up to a 6” pot? Any and all suggestions and observations welcome!
sorry this isn’t a suggestion or observation, but what kind of philodendron is that?? it’s beautiful

I got it from Gabriella’s Plants. They are currently on sale for $20 - usually $30.

I think the repot is a good idea. She’s getting tall and could use the wider base.

0 likesAgree with a repot. It’s also the ideal time of year so it’ll be less of a shock to the plant now. Gorgeous plant, too 😍 If you’re going to stake her go with a larger pot so that you have extra room for the pole or whatever you plan to do with that. Good luck!
