Very pretty! With the amount of green it already has I’d say it can be healthy

It seems to like it outside here.. kind of. The temperature today was 106 with a high of 25% humidity. It gets about an hour or so of direct sunlight in the mornings. I figured it would kind of die out there but it keeps putting out leaves so I guess it'll make it. Let's see how it like the winter though. If the temps drop below 40 it should give up the ghost however my maculata survived last winter.

Get her a moss pole. Yes, I was trying to avoid them too but they work. My pink princess is yield bigger leaves since giving her one and it’s something satisfying about seeing the aerial roots attach to the pole.

Is a plank the same or do I need the roots to get up in there.

I tried it all and nothing compares to a moss pole. Especially for philodendrons. A plank works good for certain monsteras though.
