I have tried everything with this plant. Watering less, watering more, fertilizer, different locations. It literally has barely grown in the last year and a half. Right now all my other plants are going crazy for the spring. What am I missing here? Thanks!!
Do you need to repot it

Maybe a little more shade?
1 like I found that this plant is a bit slow growing for me but she loves shade. It’s taken months to grow but it seems to be happy
Mine has been slow to grow too. I found that she has grown a little more when I moved her into more indirect light and gave her a trellis to climb.
3 likesI have to say I haven’t fully tried shade, thank you for the tips everyone, I have a feeling that might be the trick! Definitely doesn’t need a new pot, so much room to grow!

Try putting a grow light on it for a few hours and see if that helps. A lot of times when you prune off long stems with no foliage in between it will encourage more growth

Mine are not the fastest growers. But, they are steady growers that put out about six inches of growth in a year. Mine like very bright indirect sunlight most of the day. They get about 4 hours of direct morning sunlight on my patio. I would use a grow light 12 hours a day if I kept mine indoors all year. I fertilize with diluted fertilizer and SuperThrive plant vitamins twice a month.
It’s just slow! Mine compared To all my other plants (even just my other philodendrons) is just inching along. Id equate it to the speed of the satin pothos, which I find also to be slow when they’re pups.
