Why do two of my Philodendron Billie’s have brown spots. She was fine two weeks ago even a week ago 😭

Does she sit close a window? I’m assuming you mist her based on the water on the leaves. If a plant is left in direct sunlight with wet leaves it can cause them to burn

No I thought it was some type of pest so I started drenching her in solution 😭 I got so scared LOL but she is close to a window should I put her farther away ? Any tips?

How much sunlight is she getting? I know my philodendrons are in partial sun and they seem to be doing well. I’ve got mine about a foot from the window so they’re not far from it. My white princess got a lot of brown spots but I believe they were due to a lack of watering because ones I repotted her she’s started putting out three new leaves and she was half dead before

So they are close to a window about a foot I would say too! All my other philodendrons like my white princess, pink princess, ring of fire, mican, and Florida beauty are doing fine so this was so random 😭

Did you repot recently or move it to a new location?

#### Vanessa Contreras replied on 2024-07-09

I bought her about 2 weeks ago!

It looks edematous to me. Is it crispy, or more mushy?

#### Vanessa Contreras replied on 2024-07-09

How can I fix this 🥺

#### Vanessa Contreras replied on 2024-07-09

It’s crisp like dry not mushy at all?

How much do you let it dry out between watering?
