Hi, about 2 weeks ago I got this philodendron moonlight from a local nursery. I didn’t quarantine it and now it’s showing weird spots and some areas of the leaves are yellowing? The soil is moist but I bought it bone dry and it gets bright indirect light.

I would spray it with pesticide, as those marks are giving sucking damage. And keep treating as the bottle recommends for like 30-54 days

Lovely news… haha ok thank you. I have insecticidal soap spray or neem oil for now. Will either of these work?

Either should do the job.
