Hey, I recently pruned back my philodendron pink princess. It hasn’t grown yet. I chopped it in late winter (couple weeks again), it was a decision made by a whim. I wish I would have noted when I cut it. I can post a photo later, since I am away from my house now. The photo for my plant has not been updated yet.

I just wanted to know what I could do. This is my first prune for a philodendron.

It’s not uncommon for them to slow down growth or not grow at all in the winter time. What is it getting for sunlight? Is it close to a window?

1 foot away from a south facing window, gets about 6 hours of indirect sunlight, and about an hour of direct sunlight
