Neon philodendron ❤️

My birkin keeps getting brown spots in the new leaves of an otherwise thriving plant. Why??? My care is optimal. Only thing I can think of is dry air? It is NOT sun scorch. Isn’t even in a window.

Hello all! I got this philodendron today hoping I can save it. It seems to me like it's been way overwatered which is causing the browning of the leaves. Should I remove the brown leaves are just leave them? Any other tips, tricks, or suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you!

So I went to Lowe's today and picked this baby up. Now the lable from costa farms says white knight. But the looks of the stems is giving white wizard. What do you all think? I see the SLIGHTEST brown on one of the stems but it's nothing like any of the pictures I've seen of white knights. Need more skilled eyes please lol thanks!

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knew what's causing this? There was around 5 leaves like this on my lemon lime baby, they just came off with light touch and are pretty flimsy. I would like to note i put them out in the mornings to get some sunlight since where they reside isn't the brightest!

Does anyone have advice or experience chopping established moss pole plants? My PPP needs a pole extension but she’s already pretty unstable even with three garden stakes for support. The top half is pretty well rooted in the moss pole, so when I transfer it to a new pot what kind of soil should I use/does it really need much soil since the roots are in the pole? TIA friends

This is my second time have a philodendron hope and the leaves tend to open tilt backwards instead of reaching up like hands. Does anyone know why this is?

Hi I got this plant on sale at Kroger. I did a good soak to remove everything and re potted it. I took off 2 leaves and propped it up. Is it suppose to look like this? 1st picture is when I first got it Second picture is of it now

I tried to prune her but now I’m worried I killed her. Will it come back??? It’s a Philo Birkin

Today I upsized this philodendron to a 10” pot and moved from under a grow light to the window instead. I’m happy with its progress, but I don’t want it getting bigger than this 10” pot. Is there a way to reduce its growth rate without also compromising its health?

Can't believe I found this gorgeous green congo nuclear at my local nursery today! They also had a strawberry shake ($179) and a spiritus sancti ($299).

Please help! I have found these on my Xanadu Philodendron. I think the white thing is mealy bug nest? Or maybe spider mites? Idk. Then I found this thing in the soil. Full disclosure: I am seeing pests all over my in-ground outdoor plants, specifically mealy worms, 100% correctly identified, but they are on the opposite side of my house and I’m careful (though not fool proof) to clean up before entering another plant’s space. So far I am spraying all of the leaves with alcohol/dawn solution then rinsing, spraying neem oil. I am repotting and was going to water with neem oil solution. We have bees, butterflies, lizards and hummingbirds (and whatever else) I do not want to harm. At any rate, I am grateful for whatever advice anyone can give. Thanks in advance.

How can I best help this Philo Micans??? I brought her home from Facebook Marketplace yesterday and owner said she needed to be untangled. Sure did- went from 2 ft to 6 ft real quick 😳 Her roots are hanging on by a thread and I have no idea how to wind such long vines around the moss pole! Last pic is what she looked like when I brought her home

Any insight as to what type of philodendron this might be? Apologies. As I added the wrong photo before!

what’s wrong with the ppp? the leaf is turning brown. i cut it off but it’s still spreading. the leaves turned white because it was getting too much sun. i’m wondering if it’s a root problem? is my pot too big? help. thanks :)
