Hi all! I’m a plant newbie and i just got this Philodendron and it wiggles in the pot a a lot at the base, it’s hard to tell from the photo. but i was wondering if its okay to stay like that or if i should repot it to make it more sturdy? it isn’t gonna fall out of the pot or anything but i just wanna know!!

I would say let it adjust to its new environment for about a week or so, and then take it out of the pot to check its roots. Make sure you have a good root system and no rot.
