Hello! I got a gorgeous Philodendron Brasil a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to check on the roots and it is sooooo full! I wanted to transition her to leca, but I’m not sure how to deal with these roots! Any advice?

I would use a chopstick to break up the roots from the soil. If that’s too hard, you could also snip the philodendrons and place them in water as propagations. They propagate fairly simple. Good luck! :)

I’d wait till the soil is all dried out (or mostly) \& then use the chopstick method to get all the soil out. Make sure you check for any bad roots \& just cut them off \& repot in whatever you’d like to pot it in.
