Hi there, I am a new member and a fairly inexperienced gardener. Last year, before my grandmother passed away, she gave us a beautiful and huge, split leaf philodendron. The leaves on this thing are huge and very jagged. Anyhow, my husband, for whatever crazy reason, took a saw to the four stumps that were sticking out of the ground a month or so ago. It is sprouting some new green things at the bottom og the stump, will it be okay? I live in Killen, Texas, which is zone 8. Also, he took the gardening shears to my dwarf flaming winds hybiscus and chopped them allt he way to the ground almost. There is only little tiny branch stubs (maybe an in high) above the ground. They have green leaves at the bottom, will they regrow their height or am I going to have to pull all of these up? I put a similar post in another section, but this one seems more appropriate. Please help!

Thanks

I agree... since new growth is showing, they should be fine. They may actually be even prettier. Sometimes cutting things back kind of renews them.
Good luck keeping your husband's saw under control! I have the same problem... lol
Oh yeah, welcome to the forum!
