Hi! I picked this plant up from the store a while back. She seems to be doing great, but she’s leaning a lot, even if I prop her back up, she just can’t hold herself up anymore, and I’m not 100% sure how to help her out. I’m just now getting back into plants after taking a break for a long bit. It came with the black rod but it’s not doing its job anymore since she’s grown. Any advice for her lean or just general plant care I would absolutely appreciate! Thanks!!💛💛💛
Well if you want her to climb I would strap her to a trellis ASAP for her little Ariel Roots can climb up IDK that pole doesn't look like it has anything they can latch onto unless I'm wrong, my lemon lime philodendron makes a gorgeous a hanging basket, since it's a trailing/climbing plant you could also put hooks on the wall so it can trail that way like a pothos 🤗✨ they love high humidity and bright indirect light and warmth, and of course fertilizer , now if in the winter you have her under a grow light to keep her going you can fertilize through the winter or give her liquid seaweed, for a lot of other micronutrients they need I alternate fox farm grow big and organic liquid seaweed weekly

Came to say this, it is not Brasil
2 Likes See I knew something was wrong bc the store had it labeled as a Brasil and the system said otherwise! Thank you!

You could cut this stem & either propagate it separately or just cut, let it callous over (24 hours), dust with rooting powder & return to pot.
Attach to some type of pole and all will be well💚
