Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Philodendron question!, 0 by fauna4flora

You can tie them, but you don't even do that. The "trailing kind" is commonly called philodendron, but is actually an epipremnum. The interesting thing to me about that plant is that once it forms the clinging roots that allow it to attach to the tree, the leaves get super huge. When it is a "houseplant" in a hanging basket, it keeps those cute little leaves and trails down out of the basket. Not all philodendron climb, but most do- like the one on the tree to the right in my picture. I take pieces of that plant and just throw it on the ground at the base of another tree where I want it to climb. I love this look!
