Any suggestions on how to repot this? I think it’s a philodendron. It’s very top-heavy as the lower leaves have died.

You could always use bonsai wire to help support the parts you want to…I did it for a much smaller plant, Nova, my Jade cutting from my mom’s 50+ year old plant! Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Maybe plant it with a tomato cage around it until it settles its roots in? Tied to a metal garden stake? Either way I’d recommend getting a set of helping hands to support the plant while you work with it
