# Hello plant friends! I have a very healthy philodendron that is…

_Posted by Hannah on 2023-12-16_

Hello plant friends! I have a very healthy philodendron that is growing like crazy. I bought this bigger pot, but it keeps growing in one direction \& leaning no matter which side gets sun. I’m a new plant mom… any tips on what to do? I don’t think a bigger pot would help, do I need to tie it to a pole?

I would just stick a pretty piece of driftwood or some kind of support into the pot next to the stem and tie the plant to it. This usually works for my plants, but if the plant is leaning at too steep an angle you might have to tie it as it is and adjust it slowly as the plant adapts 👍

I like to use chopsticks on smaller plants just to prop them up a bit
