    Heart leaf philodendrons are fast growing plants, and if given the chance, they will start to grow long strings that will fill out with time! She could also be reaching for more light, which might be why her vine is tipping up instead of falling downward.

    She’s looking for more light. That’s why she is leggy.

      More sun if you want the gaps between leaves to be shorter.

      Lots of sun, closer together, more leaves

      Not enough sun, leaves are smaller and further apart

    You can give her a chop if the legginess is bothering you:)
