Split leaf Philodendron issue

Question

I have a mature split leaf Philodendron that has been broken off at ground level. It has a trunk of about 24 inches long with a healthy leaf and three or four large pods ready to open into leaves at the top. If I replant it as is, will it regrow roots and survive?

Answer 1

You'll probably have better luck regrowing new roots if you don't plant the whole thing. Cut it off 12 - 18" below the leaves, and bury the piece back into the soil.
