Hi!! My heart leaf philodendron is growing this long thing and I was wondering if it will just keep growing. Cause it’s really not that nice😬

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.

So what should I do about it should I give her more sun somehow??

#### exitJiraffe replied on 2023-06-29

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

#### exitJiraffe replied on 2023-06-29

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:)
