    i'd like some suggestions on how to keep this arrowhead philodendron more compact. it's way too leggy and not at all attractive.

    happy thanksgiving to all!

    It might help if you could post some pictures & say a little more about the conditions you're growing it in. My guess would be that it's not getting enough light, that is a very common reason for houseplants to be leggy. If you don't have a brighter window you can put it in, you might try augmenting your natural light with a fluorescent shop light or something along those lines.

    Cut off the parts that have gone astray. Likely, you can make new plants from the removed pieces.
