Split‑Leaf Philodendron in Shock After Division

Dividing a large philodendron often causes transplant shock—yellowing leaves are common. Recovery depends on pot size, root disturbance, and aftercare.

Critical Questions

• Are leaves yellowing in both pots or just one?
• What was the original pot size, and what size are the new pots?

Immediate Care

• Do not let pots sit in standing water.
• Water only when the top inch of soil is dry.
• Provide bright, indirect light.
• Apply a root‑starter product (e.g., B‑1 or Starter Fluid) to encourage new root growth.
