# Hello! I bought this plant at a local grocery store on clearance for…

_Posted by Moonscar1 on 2024-08-09_

Hello! I bought this plant at a local grocery store on clearance for five dollars. It was labeled as a philodendron verrucosum. I’ve just repotted into a chunky mix and an orchid pot as the soil was soaked. I also plan on adding a new support, it was previously on a wooden stake. Any advice on how to maintain the plant? It had some water stains so I cleaned it with neem oil spray, but I’m mainly looking for advice on the top leaf. Should I trim the dead head or leave it on the plant for now? Thanks in advance for any advice
