# I had a plantastrophy yesterday with my philodendron which I named…

_Posted by Sweets on 2025-05-25_

I had a plantastrophy yesterday with my philodendron which I named Red. This is her before and after ! She is in recovery now. I taped the stems that bent so they heal correctly. Just wanted to share with everyone.

Oh no! Hoping for a speedy recovery. Has anyone tried taping with success? I never knew that was an option. 🤞🏽🤞🏽

It did work too !! A couple days and I took the tape off and her stems where strong and healthy
