I’ve posted this before but seeking updated guidance: should I repot my pink Princess philodendron?

This was a cutting from someone and after I added grow lights and some fertilizer last year, she immediately doubled/tripled in size. It’s so tall that I have to tilt the cup she’s in so she stands straight and doesn’t fall over. No roots coming out the bottom but I get more leaves every month and it’s about to outgrow the shelf I have her on.

Thanks!

And, separately, if you think I should propagate please give me tips on how 😂

Since there’s no roots coming out the bottom I would assume it’s good, but you could just take it out of the pot to check! It’s a beautiful plant❤️

You can always keep the same width but go deeper so it adds a little stability 🫶🏻

Good idea! I’ve had it for over a year now and the container is clear so I don’t see any roots and def not coming out. It feels so odd to be growing so much without potting up but last time people also recommended to keep it as is. Do you think I should take off any of the lower leaves if I use a deeper pot?

Waiting until the roots are coming out of the bottom is usually a good rule of thumb. My monstera wasn’t coming out of the bottom but needed more stability, so I did a repot. With how tall it is yes I’d take some leaves off the bottom probably just the lowest two and you’d be good :)
