What did I even do right?!

#Philodendron. This is probably my best growing plant and I did nothing different with it, it just freaking took off!!
Well done! You are now an official plant expert.๐Ÿ˜‚
@TheMightyOddish Is this a before and after?? He's obviously loving it! I personally hold my breath until I see new growth. ๐Ÿ˜
First pic is this morning and last picture is a few months ago when I repotted it
She is getting very leggy from lack of light. She's doing that to try to reach more light to sustain growth.

That's also why she's losing her variegation. Ideally you only want 1/2 inch of space between leaves. That's how you know they are getting adequate light.

I'm sorry, I just had to speak up before she reverts to all green. At which point it is hard to get the variegation back. She also will start slowing down growth and eventually start dropping leaves. I don't want that to happen for you. ๐Ÿ’š
@SuperbRaspfern that is very helpful thank you!
@TheMightyOddish Your welcome ๐Ÿฉท
She has her own window but maybe she would do better with the east window instead of west? Or maybe the leggy came from when she was in the east window before I moved her back?
The new leaf has a fair amount of white- is that determined beforehand or because I put more light? I repotted and changed the bathroom bulb to a grow light
