    Looks like leaf edema. Is the soil dry when you water? Might want to check out the roots for any rot

    I agree with Magnetic garden Iā€™ve been having similar problems with several of my variegated plants this summer, so Iā€™ve been trying to note possible other factors. Some things that I suspect might be related is leaf spray treatments. I use diy sprays for pest prevention, but since variegated leaves have less pigment, theyā€™re probably even sensitive to typically safe products Another thing Iā€™ve noticed is that itā€™s very common for philodendrons to ā€œsweatā€ excess water through their leaves. When their environment is very humid, the water can take a long time to evaporate, or not evaporate at all. That seems to make the tips of my leaves mushy if I donā€™t help them dry with a cloth or a fan. However, if thatā€™s the case, it would still point back to overwatering or oversaturated soil since those factors increase the amount the plants ā€œsweatā€ So yeah, check the roots, just to be sure. And then always wait until the soil is fairly dry before watering again. You probably know that already though. But I know that I sometimes overthink about my new plant, especially rares, and make questionable choices due to worry lol. I think I can see a chunky soil mix in your picture. If so, thatā€™s a great choice for philodendrons I really want this same plant lol. I got a GORGEOUS cutting in a mystery node box, but itā€™s only given me green leaves. Now I can rest until I get my own variegated one lol. I hope yours does well for you!! ā˜ŗļø

      Thank you for your detailed response back! Appreciate it! I have a few other philodendrons and never had this issue . I guess these ones like to be really dry before watering ! Itā€™s not overly humid where the plant is currently. Iā€™ll check the roots to make sure itā€™s good.

      I had the same problem with a similar white princess philodendron with large areas that are white. I got a water meter and check the soil at the bottom of the pot before I water. Though the discolouration didnā€™t go away on the old leaves I havenā€™t had any problems with the new leaves and it is sweating much less. I also started to regularly mist it a little to help.
