# I noticed on my lemon-lime philodendron that the older leaves were…

_Geplaatst door PlantLovingGirlie op 2025-09-24_

I noticed on my lemon-lime philodendron that the older leaves were yellowing (can see in the first \& second pic) no pests, so I repotted her since she was in her nursery pot. Her roots were good but definitely root bound. She’s pushing out new growth too (third pic) so I’m wondering if I should clip the older yellowing leaves to promote new growth or leave them? I don’t want to stress her out cause I love her!!

Check the roots again. It may be time for another repot. Also, older leaves will die off. Clipping them won’t hurt. 🪴🍀

I just repotted her in a slightly bigger pot! Hoping that helps 🙏🏻

Clipping the leaves will do her some good:)

A moss pole would help as it’s a vining plant, could be going yellow due to nutrient deficiency and being the older leaves , but your repot should help with that, was the soil soggy before your repot as that is the only other thing apart from lighting. yes think as others say a little trim of the long parts would help with supplying more health to others and promote new growth

I bought it as a trailing plant and it’s been trailing very well up until now so I’m going to try to keep her like that unless it gets worse. I fertilizer during the growing seasons and gets very bright indirect light from an east facing window so I’m hoping with the repot and trim it’ll bounce back 🙏🏻 thank you so much for your advice!!
