Philodendron Mican - What to do???

[@carolyncoppola974]

I also think you should leave as much as you can, but definitely take lots of cuttings - even ones with roots and make a second plant. Also - if you are in cold weather try covering the ground leaves with leaves and debris so maybe it will protect it through the winter months! It has found a happy home! That is its natural environment, unfortunately our homes are not! Let it go….let it grow - as much as possible. Free Mican! 😊.

It seems real happy where it's at. I would leave it!

I might leave it and propagate it and put the other half back on my porch. I'd love to see massive leaves by allowing it room to grow!

@@TheAdventitiousGardener Yes! when micans fully mature, their leaves look huge and gorgeous. I would definitely let at least some of it proceed to grow up that tree.

If you live in a warm state, I’d say leave it and let it do it’s own thing. Let it climb like it’s in Jack and the Beanstalk. You can always take cuttings to start a new indoor houseplant. Plus, you can keep your viewers updated on how it’s growing up on the elm and on the ground.

Where do you live? I can't leave mine outside year round. If you cut it the whole plant may die, if you leave it outside, the whole plant may die. Maybe cut it back as far down from the pot as you can and take the pot inside for the fall if it will get too cold. If not, then leave it alone.

I would leave it and take cuttings from it and start multiple plants
