# I just rescued this Pink Princess Philodendron, she was under a shelf…

_Posted by Nate Remus on 2025-10-09_

I just rescued this Pink Princess Philodendron, she was under a shelf at a grocery store. Had to repot, resoiled, and cut off half of her leafs(they were brown), any tips for how to make her an actual plant again?

Prop her up!! Even a wooden chopstick would do, that way she can focus on growing better leaves/roots rather than worrying about keeping herself up straight!! Best of luck, I just rescued one too!!

It's so fun to rescue a plant and witness its glow up.
