# My Philodendron Prince of Orange is doing great, however, the base of…

_Publié par Plant Dad le 2025-08-22_

My Philodendron Prince of Orange is doing great, however, the base of it is very wobbly and I'm nervous it will eventually snap as it gets bigger. Am I able to cut a few of the bottom leaves off and plant it deeper to cover the nodes/areial roots?

Yes definitely do that! You can also add a pole for support

I'm so nervous to do it but that will be my project tomorrow. Thank you for the reply

Mine is wobbly too. I just let it be for now and have it lean against its neighboring plant buddy
