I just got one of my dream plants and I’ll admit I’m panicking. I got it maybe two weeks ago and suddenly noticed this. This is my first philodendron so I’m not sure what to do with this kind of leaf damage.

If you’ve had it for two weeks it’s time to repot her. Check her roots and get her into some fresh chunky aroid soil. Pink princess like most philodendron erubescens in my experience are very sensitive to over watering. Make sure she’s never sitting in water and only water when she is dry at least two inches down. Philodendrons are my heart!! 💚💚 Godspeed! 🥰

I’ll try that. I hope it helps. I’d be devastated if it died. My spouse bought this for me. Apparently they were looking around for quite a while for me.

If it doesn’t work out try The Green Escape on Etsy. They are an excellent nursery and sell baby plants. Godspeed! 💚💚
