Our philodendron is in the living room. We had to open the sliding glass door to get a sofa in. It was very cold outside. Now the leaves are turning black all the way to the pot. What is the best way to care for this?
The only thing you can do now, is to cut away the dying growth, and wait for recovery. AFTER it has recovered, you can fertilize to help it regain what it has lost. Here is a list of articles that will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/philodendron/
Can you propagate a heart shaped philodendron from leaf cuttings?
Philodendron scandens, heartleaf philodendron is easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Make a 3 inch cut just below a leaf, remove all but the top leaf and look for a leaf node. Place the cutting in a small glass of water with the node submerged. (The node is where new roots will emerge.) Place the glass in medium light - no harsh, direst sun. When the roots are 1.5-2 inches long, pot the new plant in loose potting soil. Voila!
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a really long trailing philodendron scandens but all I can find are those supported by moss poles or wire frames. I don't have much hope separating them from a moss pole but I wondered if it was possible to uncouple them (or just cut the wire piece by piece) from a wire frame to create a long trailing plant? Appreciate any advice! Thanks
You can do this as long as you do not damage any portion of the plant while doing so. I do recommend leaving it to climb, but it would, certainly, survive trailing.
I have a large philodendron that I bring in during winter and out on porch during summer - the pot is big but not too big but seeing a lot of roots growing down the side of the pot and filling the top of the pot! Should I cut these?
No! This is part of its natural cycle. Just cover these with more soil is they are unsightly. Otherwise, I would leave it as it is.
My greenhouse heater failed to work temp went down to 27 degrees. It looks dead. Can I save it had? for 10 years very big please help
The best thing you can do is bring it back to its proper temperature, and water a little less. Cut off any dead growth, and with a little luck, you should see new sprouts eventually.
My plant is a houseplant and the leaves are drooping. It is over 35 years old.
Unfortunately this can be caused by several different things. Over, or under watering could both do this, as well as infection. Can you include a photo? This can help to identify what is going on.

I have this 10'tall large tree (Phil) I want to cut back to about 5/6'. Will it hurt the plant? Its such a conversation plant. Its growth of many leaves are at or near the top, more-less a leggy tree-span with many roots spanning all the way to its huge pot.
I would say this will be fine, but you will want to make sure you leave some leaves so that the new shoots have some way to generate energy. You won't want to cut off more than a third of the plant at once anyways.
