# This Heart-leaf Philo is out of control.. again! My thoughts are to…

_Posted by Family on 2025-04-24_

This Heart-leaf Philo is out of control.. again!

My thoughts are to make several cuttings and put them all into a wider pot with the same kind of soil. None of the nodes are growing into the moss pole just propped up by pins.

However, my second thought was to get different and taller moss poles to try to encourage it growing on the newer ones instead. (Because it worked so well the last time 🤡)

What are everyone else’s thoughts on what I should do next with this beast?

If you want more shoots instead of long vines, try pinching off the vines! I have to do this with my zebrina (inch plant) because the think will just vine itself to death if she doesnt get a haircut.

Simply cut the vine where you want it to stop growing. Then you get to propagate and even remerge it with the plant!

Awesome. Could I do this in addition to repotting?
