# About five months ago I chopped and propped my pink princess and…

_Posted by Marsarts on 2025-12-21_

About five months ago I chopped and propped my pink princess and black gold philodendrons because they had some really leggy growth from last winter and weren’t producing large leaves anymore and this is the progress. None of the segments had any leaves, just a healthy node, and they’ve been in this makeshift prop-box with sphagnum moss and a ziploc bag. I’ve been slowly opening the bag to get them used to a less humid environment and I want to know when I can put them in soil. Any suggestions?

They are so cute! Great job on those! I think you could probably repot all the black golds now, and maybe top the soil with a layer of moss to sustain the moist environment. They look like they’re ready to graduate! The pink princesses maybe could use one more leaf before they level up.

What does the roots systems look like? How much roots have grown?
