I cut off the bottom leaves that were having problems and it started to thrive - above the portion that I had cut off the bigger leaves… I have heard of a root growth serum but I’m not sure that would be any help here. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/143u5BSElZeyK2W4VLrgbe86TSKDre8RG2I6VrJKSnQ/6HF1pv0jS-GyRoVlYx78CQ.webp?size=large) ## 8개의 댓글 ### 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵님이 2025-04-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. IDK about a root growth serum but I recently got turned on to the mycorrhizal fungi that's supposed to be similar to a rooting hormone I've been using it on my plants for about a week about your plant but maybe the stuff will help problem maybe you spray it with peroxide? I don't know if that's diluted or not I would Google it 👀🤷‍♀️ ### PlantLady님이 2025-04-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Keiki paste on the lower nodes has revamped my plant game #### JenThon🪴🪷님이 2025-04-23에 답변했습니다. I have that, but I’m not sure where to score the plant and apply the paste. #### PlantLady님이 2025-04-23에 답변했습니다. I don’t even bother scoring the majority of mine because the vines are pretty thin. It probably takes longer for them to push out the new growth, but they eventually do just with putting a bit of keiki past on the new growth point. The picture I attached is one of my rehabbed plants. All the bottom nodes got keiki paste applications and I chopped above that last yellow leaf once I saw the new growth. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0iCLRsPvFmfjSt9rXBCCpLLt8b4GtXB50XIJbz3eaiM/qQErn3SARpeL07vHUvgqeA.webp?size=large) #### PlantLady님이 2025-04-23에 답변했습니다. With thicker stems, scoring may help speed things up, but it’s not required from my experience. #### PlantLady님이 2025-04-24에 답변했습니다. Here’s another one that I haven’t cut at all ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/0iCLRsPvFmfjSt9rXBCCpLLt8b4GtXB50XIJbz3eaiM/jJhQlZkJQSuHhXxtvN_Phg.webp?size=large) ### KJM님이 2025-04-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. Any of the root products are formulated for root development so I don't think those would be helpful other than healthy roots encourage healthy top growth. Generally, to generate bottom growth you cut off the top. Obviously this has risks for a plant like pink princess. It is a philodendron so propagating the top back into the pot and hoping that basal growth develops would be an option but you may not want to take that risk. Also, you don't know where that lower growth will develop so if you only take the tip off all the side growth could occur near the top which is not what you're after. I have never used nor do I know much about keiki paste but I would think if you have to do scoring it would be at or near a node. ### Matilda님이 2025-04-23에 댓글을 남겼어요. I had the same issue with mine. I didn’t add anything to it, but about 6 months after the leaves died it started with new baby sprouts from the bottom. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
