HI. I have a very long legged philodendron houseplant. Some of the legs are about 10 feet long. The ends have been growing nicely, but, due to moving house it lost quite a few leaves in the middle of these long legs....so there are 3 foot long spaces of bare branch. Is there anyway to induce these bare parts to grow leaves?
Thanks in advance!

As with most vining plants, new growth on your Philodendron is always at the ends of the stems. Invariably, vining plants reach a point where they can no longer support additional leaves. Rather than stop growing, they continue to add new leaves at the ends of the stems, but they sacrifice the older leaves. Eventually you end up with long, bare strings with leaves only at the ends.

The only remedy is to prune back very long stems to within a few inches of the soil. That way the new growth will emerge close to the pot and fill out the plant.
