I’ve read that to encourage a bushier Pink Princess Philodendron you should pinch off the new leaf growth. Does anyone know where you’re supposed to do that or have any tips for this guy?

Cut it with clean tools between two leaf nodes at the section you want it to branch off. You may have to snip it a couple of times near the same location to get the lower sections to branch out. You should get larger leaves below even if it doesn’t branch out. 🍀🪴
