I took a new photo of my plant today, i am a newer plant ...
I took a new photo of my plant today, i am a newer plant lover hence why i ask so many questionsπ does this look like it needs to be trimmed? and where exactly would i trim so i can propagate the trimmings? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #NewPlantMom

#Philodendron hope someone can give you some good advice iβm somewhat new with the philodendrons and donβt know myself exactly where to cut them to propagate them. I just usually repot them and separate them that way. οΏΌ
@debbiecakes @OhGollyItsJolly donβt be afraid to ask questions! Itβs how we all learn. Your brasil isnβt a plant like a forsythia, for example, that needs certain pruning every year to encourage more growth, itβs a vine, so any trimming you do is pretty much for your own wishes. For my brasil and other vining plants, I usually snip individual nodes off that each have one leaf. The node is the part on the stem where a leaf sprouts off from, and where little nubs of adventitious roots are growing. Adventitious roots mean they are roots that can grow in places on the plant other than the main underground root system. So if you cut off a piece of brasil vine with a leaf and little root nubs and place it in dirt, water, perlite etc, you will get roots growing there and it starts a new plant. Anyhoo, where was I? So since I always start with baby plants, I will propagate new little plants and pot them back in my pot to eventually give my plant a fuller, bushier appearance, then I let my vines grow lonnng. π
Your plant doesnβt look like it βneedsβ to be trimmed, but feel free to do so if you want to experiment with propagating. I would snip off individual nodes at a time rather than a long vine with multiple leaves. Philo vines propagate really easily, so itβs a great plant to learn from.

@DreamMachine my sunroom seems so naked in the summer bc I put so much is out in nature. In winter it turns it to summer in doors π«Άπ½I need a greenhouse βlow-key want to open a local private nurseryβ gonna be crowded this winter for sure lol
@luvmygreenhouse thank you , that is one corner, lol π But the hubs just got me a shelving unit with grow lights and his blessing to let me start taking over the kitchen muahaha
@OhGollyItsJolly looks great, I LOVE your bananas!
@OhGollyItsJolly looks great, I LOVE your bananas!
@OhGollyItsJolly Wow! Love your setup! I am wondering, is there something beneficial with clam shells that you have them on the soil? Or is it just for pretty? It looks really neat! π
@luvmygreenhouse actually yes that is a very good and funny question!! but since you ask, this is a multi tool. 1 method of cat litter box deterrent &
2 itβs a good watering spot to prevent washing soil off roots. because I live a couple of miles from the ocean, so you know. Shells readily available, recycle everything π«Άπ½ some people think is just for looks. I think my mom just likes to claim the plant as hers and put a shell in it but they are very useful. lol βMa was hereβ
iβve learned to appreciate the little things cause I know one thing when sheβs gone Iβm gonna be a shipwreck οΏΌοΏΌbut ya just some BeachBilly Sh!t lol we a bit different.
And not gonna lie your question really made my day thank you ! ππΌ οΏΌ

I was just recently chopping some of my micans up to gift to a friend, so hereβs a visual for you on the nodes and adventitious roots!
This is one leaf, connected to whatβs left of the tiny bit of stem, by its petiole, (which is basically the βleaf stem.β But the petiole is not the main stem) and one node that I clipped off my vine (philo micans).

@OhGollyItsJolly Thank you!π @DreamMachine Very helpful to me! Thanks a lot! I was wanting to try propagating my philodendron some time, but I was scared if it'll work. Now I'll try it sooner!ππ
Hi Charlene, I completely agree with Nadia. Please donβt be afraid to ask questions. IMO thatβs, a large part, of what Greg is about. Here is some great advice I found on propagating your Philodendron. π§βπΎ Methods of Propagating Philodendron Brasil
Philodendron Brasil can be propagated effectively using two main methods: water propagation and soil propagation. Both methods are straightforward and can yield healthy new plants.
Water Propagation
Select Cuttings: Choose a stem cutting that has at least one leaf and a node.
Prepare the Cutting: Make a clean cut just below a node.
Place in Water: Submerge the cutting in a jar or vase filled with fresh water, ensuring the node is underwater.
Light Conditions: Position the jar in a location with bright, indirect light.
Wait for Roots: Roots will typically develop within a few weeks. Once they are a few inches long, the cutting can be transferred to soil.
Soil Propagation
Select Cuttings: Similar to water propagation, choose a cutting with at least one leaf and a node.
Prepare the Soil: Use a light potting mix or a propagation mix to ensure good drainage.
Plant the Cutting: Insert the cutting into the soil, ensuring the node is buried.
Watering: Water lightly to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Light Conditions: Place the pot in bright, indirect light.
Monitor Growth: New growth will indicate successful rooting.
Tips for Successful Propagation
Timing: Spring and summer are the best seasons for propagation due to the plant's active growth phase.
Clean Tools: Always use clean, sharp tools to make cuts to prevent disease.
Humidity: Maintaining humidity can help with root development, especially in drier environments.
