My philodendron fuzzy petiole has been getting these spots on its leaves and then yellowing. I assume it’s some kind of pest or fungus, but I have no idea what it is, or what I should do about it. Does anyone have any tips?

Maybe powdery mildew or too much fertilizer? Over watering? I would take it to a plant store where they have people who actually are expert in the plants they sell and ask for them to help you. Small private rare plant shops are best. I can’t see any bugs. Good luck!!

When there is yellowing and brown isolated to the edges it’s usually a watering issue…over or under look very similar 🤷‍♀️

Do you see any fine spider webs?

I also instantly thought spider mite infestation. These guys are so susceptible to mites.
