@Luna_Girl26 Gm yes I believe it can be saved I’d clean it up with a peroxide spray, that will remove all the dead parts and put it in water like @Just1More suggested. 🙏🏽

For now I repotted it into a 2.7” self watering pot.

Definitely. I would put it in water rinsing off as much of the dirt as you can, and let it grow some more roots. Philodendrons are pretty hardy.

I would repot in a pretty small pot! No more than about an inch bigger than the root ball if you gently put them together.

@Luna_Girl26 just remember that even though it’s in self watering, it needs to dry out completely between waterings to grow strong roots and avoid rot. So fill you reservoir, but don’t refill it until the soil is dry.
