hi! i’m afraid there’s something wrong with my philodendron but i’m so new to plants i’m not sure what could be going on. i’ve had this one for about 2 months, but now some spots of the leaves are getting oddly thin \& other ones are turning brown/falling off. i’m not sure what i’m doing wrong but i want her to thrive 😭 there are some spots with new growth, but i think there’s something going on :(

Dry leaves can be from underwatering. I would also start fertilizing it with your watering now that it’s spring so it can get some nutrients :)
