Hi! I got this jungle boogie philodendron from a nursery but it came with all these yellow spots. They are on all the leaves and the plant seems happy. Is this a pest? Any advice?

    My Emerald green Congo philodendren had them for the 1st 5 or 6 years I've had her. Just clean with a little dawn dish soap and water and leave it alone (except water it lol and it will go away (hopefully) mine did. I heard philodendren get this but idk what its called.. Shorry

    Sometimes spots like that can be pest related but it’s hard for me to tell for sure. Philodendrons usually tolerate insecticidal soap really well so I would personally probably treat it 1x/week for a few weeks to be extra sure and keep it away from my other plants in the meantime. Full disclosure, I’m also extra twitchy about pests ever since having a thrips outbreak last year 😅 so my advice may be overkill
