What to do with philodendron?

Hi,
I have salvaged a philodendron that means a lot to DH (from his mom), but that he neglected horribly until it was one strand running up and down the wall 4 or 5 times (he pinned it up, long before we moved in together). Now I have 3 cuttings in a pot, all doing very nicely, and I don't know what to do with it. I prefer the look of a nice bushy plant, but don't know if that's possible with this heart-shaped leaf variety. Any suggestions how to care for this plant to keep it healthy and happy, and not let it get spindly and sparse looking?
