“Looks alright” you’d say- haha yeah, if I’m on the flooor! Scroll through. This is a weird baby. I worked so hard, transplanted him, gave him a moss pole, he always gives me new leaves, but he won’t look at me! I’m laying on the ground for that last shot. Decent I guess. Did I do something wrong? Please help!!

I don’t think it’s your fault. It will naturally grows towards a light source
that’s just how they grow. look at pictures of them in the wild. the leaves are meant to be oriented vertically in order to absorb the most light since they’re natural climbers with one side of the plant facing the surface they’re climbing and the other side facing the light.
if it were me I’d place the plant on a shelf or piece of furniture so that the leaves are around eye level. if you want a plant that’s meant to grow on the ground with the leaves facing upwards there are plenty of philodendrons and other plants that will do that
They look healthy and happy to me! I think they might be a little bent because the leaves are huge. As someone else mentioned, maybe put a grow light overhead to see if that helps direct them.

InMyOpinion, if your leaves are pointed downward rather than outward, your light source is positioned too low… try relocating either your plant or your light source and see what difference that makes after 30-60 days.
