What kind of plant is this? Looks like a heart leaf philodendron which I was actually just coming on here to post about! Not to hijack but mines suddenly starting to look leggy too! Hopefully someone has an explanation and possible solution for you! Here’s my girl!

She looks thirsty!!!!

Pot looks like it may be too big? The pot should only be 1-2" bigger than the root ball. The soil also looks pretty dry- definitely time for a drink.

Water her and as the leggy vines grow clip them and stick back into dirt. Soon you will have a full plant. But water at least every 10 days until water runs out bottom. It looks very dry.

I can just cut them like that and shove it into the soil???

#### Random Strands replied on 2025-08-27

Yes 👍 Pothos are so very easy to prop. Make sure you cut the vine where there is a node to be able to be stuck in soil and stick it right in. It will root. You can do the same and stick in water also and wait for roots and then plant it but I always just stick it back into the pot.

Water as soon as the soil dries out. The plant will be slightly limp. Yours are too limp. You are waiting too long to water. Don’t water by a schedule. Water when it needs water. This means checking the soil about every 3 days or when the plants look slightly limp.

Low light can cause drooping and leaf drop from reduced photosynthesis. Give it bright light. Fertilize too. 🪴🍀
