Iv had a situation where the plant isnāt going to leaf but keeps growing like itās looking for some sun but I definitely know itās not that. In that case how exactly do I chop it so it might trick into going to leaf again?

Whatās up with my Dragon Tail philo? I got this plant as a starter plant. Think 1ā soil plug? It was a chunk of the plant that had been propped that was horizontal. Itās been doing great, growing really well etc. I was gone almost all day Sun, Mon, and most of today. When I got home today I saw two leaves had turned yellow. Now, they are the oldest leaves on the plant⦠I zoomed in on the base of the plant and cleared some soil away to see the plant is growing curved around the pot. I am not great with philos. I am trying to be. I thought we were on better terms, but I guess not?! I have not overwatered recently or anything like that. Any ideas? #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #itrunsinthefamily #DragonTailPhilo
