I have these spots on my philodendron. Not sure what they are. I don’t see bugs and it’s putting out a lot of new leaves . The spots are starting even on the new leaf as you can see in the picture. Any tips or suggestions appreciated!

Mine was doing this. I had under watered it and it needed to be repotted. One of my new leaves came out with brown spots but the next one didn’t and it’s producing another two that I don’t think will have the spots. Did it go under-watered for a bit? Or when is the last time it was repotted?

I repotted a few months ago. I try to stick to a schedule but sometimes I’m a few days late to water

Could be a fertilizer issue. They should go away on their own but try and dilute more when fertilizing/watering. It’s like a build up of fertilizer.

Thank you I was wondering if it could be from my fertilizer. How often do you recommend to fertilize?

I noticed this on mine recently and just bought a 3 in 1/copper fungicide that treats brown spot🥲 hope your plant is okay!
