# A few of my plants are getting quite large and my question is......if…

A few of my plants are getting quite large and my question is......if I have a tall plant, like a foot and a half, should I try and focus the light on the top of the plant with the newer growth or more towards the bottom with the soil, roots, etc?

I have a philodendron that has a REALLY long kind of.....skinny tree bark part that's like a third of the plant. It has no leaves, it's just curvy and like hard and rigid. Then at the top is the new growth and it's what I know a philodendron to to typically be. Will that newer area area eventually harden up like the lower area?

Also will most definitely be getting her situated onto a moss pole now that she's not.....being a tree or whatever and is actually showing some aerial roots

The plants need light on the leaves for photosynthesis. AIM the light to be about a foot from the leaves. No need to light up bare stems and soil.

The bare crusty area is formed by corking. It happens naturally and strengthens the vines. The new area can get the same cork layer. It’s up to the plant. 🪴🍀
