# So I’m concerned for my philo. She’s a white knight, and she used to…

So I’m concerned for my philo. She’s a white knight, and she used to grow in so big (you can see with the older leaves). I had a pest problem, I believe were either spider mites or thrips from another plant, and treated her. But now she has these brown spots. Shes had them for a few months now, ever since the original issue, but now her leaves are smaller and don’t feel like they’re growing in right either. However, this could’ve also been because it was winter, dry in my house and just now getting warmer + humid. Should I cut off these brown spotted leaves that have it the worst? Should I wait and see now with her new leaf about to come in if it’ll grow like before? Any advice welcome!

I think the leaves getting smaller probably has more to do with running out of room to climb. She also might be ready for a bigger pot. However I wouldn’t do so until you’re confident she’s rebounded from the pests. Cutting off the brown leaves is a matter of choice. It will give her the opportunity to redirect her energy but leaving them doesn’t hurt. She’s very pretty 😍 Godspeed!! 💚💚
