# My philodendron is getting big fast and keeps tipping over the pots…

_Posted by Syd on 2026-04-21_

My philodendron is getting big fast and keeps tipping over the pots she’s in. I keep getting heavier pots, but the more she grows the heavier she gets. Any recommendations on how to weigh down the pots?

It looks like it’s a crawler so I would suggest getting a long rectangular pot

Okay! I will look into it. Unfortunately I have limited space but I really like that idea
