Carol, The pot must look smaller than it is in the picture. Ha! The plant is on a trellis and it touches the ceiling. The pot is actually really large. My spine would shoot out my rear if I tried to lift it. I did this because I read that philodendrons like to climb trees in the forest. Now I'm kind of stuck on how I'm going to give her a good flush. I have 2 walls of climbers on trellises in my home so I might have to figure out a way to flush out the others. Yikes! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
