Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comMy plant is about 8 years old and healthy. It has grown over the pot, down to the ground, and started growing vertically again. My question is, can I cut The new vertical section, the horizontal piece, and leave the original “stump” to regrow ? It is in a large pot, with potting soil, and grown outside in a protected enclosed porch with a screened roof. Will the original stump grow new leaves ? (It would have none).The other 2 sections are fully leaved, and the stems are about 1″ in diameter. I would use a rooting hormone. Thanks for any advice. jowben1@aol.com

It would not hurt anything to cut them back. I believe it can benefit from this if it is overgrown. Here is an article for more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/philodendron/pruning-philodendron-plants.htm [1]
