# Desperate help. This is a very important plant to me....just a heart…

_Posted by Mysti M on 2026-06-28_

Desperate help.

This is a very important plant to me....just a heart leaf philodendron but special meaning.

I cut it all back late last summer to give it a hard refresh. Propagated cuttings in water it like I have done a million times. It never bounced back. Alot of my cuttings just rotted.

This is what I have left. I put cuttings in very small planters and was trying to Greenhouse them. I have a small amount of mold so I cracked the lids to decrease the humidity some.

I have a tiny bit of hope that there are some very baby roots.

Tell me how to help them live. I am so mad at myself that I did this. Thanks.

Hmm, could it be too much humidity? I find mine thrives when handled "roughly" and tends to do more poorly if I fuss over it too much.

I just put them in the cups when I posted. They were in a small planter and looked like this. I cracked the lid on them the following day. I have no idea why they are struggling. I have propped this plant a million times.
