This little fellow didnt do well this winter. Not enough a light and too much rain, (i believe). The leaves have fallen off but base is still firm so fingers crossed. This was my #freeplant i received from the grow it app that shut down a while back. #advicewelcome

Im not either @kelsey92. I most likely will in the spring. Thanks for the tip 😉 I also put cinnamon on the spots where the stems came off.

Did u cut them off? Or did they all just fall off like that? If i were u I would maybe cut it all the way back to the base and let her regrow. And I try not to use miracle grow I hear so many negative things about it. If u do use it I would amend it with some chunky stuff of your choice u know so its not so heavy

Both @heatherdirtyhands i really considered doing that. Bc ultimately they will fall off. Ur right it needs to focus on producing new growth. I havent used miracle grow in years... i usually use coco coir or peat for indoor plants with some pine nugget bark. Its been recycled from all my reptiles bedding cages. 😉 Thanks for the advice... I appreciate it

Oh no ☹️ - I’ve never grown a philodendron so can’t advise but I hope you can get it to regrow. It certainly looked like a great colour if those leaf petioles are anything to go by!
