Where did you get those wires they look so perfect in there

#### Shila replied on 2024-05-25

Amazon! I got 9 gauge wires from a brand called tenn well and just stuck them in!

Philodendron Brasil is a favorite variety of mine. Easy care. Mine put out several small leaves when it needed more light. Add a grow light or move to a window that gets at least 8 hours of filtered or indirect light.

Those are gorgeous!

Thank you. This one gets direct sunlight from sunrise to 9 am. It’s in bright shade the rest of the day.

So bushy!! 🥹

Looks much fuller than mine!

It was grown by the mega nursery Costa Farms. I got it off a discount cart at Home Depot for $10! There are many vines in an 8” pot that gives it this fullness. I just have to keep up with watering and fertilizing in warm weather. It uses a lot of water.
