I'm like that guy in China who raised the puppies that turned out to be bears. I bought a little houseplant (a philodendron?) about six years ago, and now I have this problem. Phil, as I call him, is scraping the ceiling with no sign of stopping. He even blooms. What's the best way to repot him which may take some of height off? I'm thinking of cutting off some bottom leaves and coiling (If I can get it to bend) the stem in a new pot to lower the height but I'm worried about rot. I also need to be careful to support the heavy new growth, I'd think. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
