# Meet Author. He's such a handsome Philodendron silver sword!! I feel…

_Posted by Sonja on 2024-12-04_

Meet Author. He's such a handsome Philodendron silver sword!! I feel like the world's worst plant mom! Here's another one in the recovery room. I transplanted him on November 24th. He was perfect! Happy, and healthy, and thriving! Just a little too big for his pot. So all I did was transplant him into a new home. I understand that they go through shock. This is 10 Days Later. He's dying from the root up. Any input is welcome. I've moved him to my recovery room. But now he has pests and I don't want them spreading (I have all of my propagations in there as well) so I'm keeping him isolated now. Should I just try to propagate and throw the rest away? Is he a gonner?

What does his lower stem feel like? Soft? I’d chop \& prob a piece just in case

Yeah, it's soft
