Hi everyone! Wasn’t sure where to go for this but I’ve had my Philodendron Pink Princess for over a month now and it’s my favorite plant, recently her leaves started drooping heavily and the stem is quite wobbly, it is still as bright as when I first got her and there seems to be a new leaf starting to grow. I only water it when the soil is almost entirely dry, there are drainage holes we drilled in the pot. The soil is mixed with orchid bark, perlite, and coconut coir as well. Any idea how to help cheer her up? I recently moved back to college and placed her on my windowsill that gets an amazing amount of sun and so far all my other plants love it and are doing great. This has been going on since before the move so I don’t think that’s playing much of a part in it. Am i overthinking this, is there something I should do, or should I just give her some time?

    In my experience plants in a windowsill with lots of light in the summer need to be watered a lot! That small pot might need water once a week! If it otherwise looks healthy just droopy I’d say it just needs more water. Let her sit out of direct sun after watering until she perks back up.

      I agree defo give her a nice water can even a good soak and then let her properly drain (so not sitting in water) 💚

    Wanted to give a little update on my ppp since it’s been a few days! I think the move actually really helped her. Genuinely is now the happiest she has been since I got her! Also have that new leaf about to pop!
