I’ve got some light colored spots on my philodendron leaves in my greenhouse. Could these be burn spots from water droplets in the sun?

Pretty sure the water droplet in the sun thing is a myth.  
Check fir spider mites.  
Also look up what edema is and see if that fits.

It actually depends on the type of leaf! Smooth leaves won’t get burned from droplets but leaves with small hairs or anything that holds the water droplet a tiny bit off the leaf will cause scorch marks. Fun little fact to know 😁

Could be extra floral nectaries. A lot of philos have them
