How is my plant doing? Looks like it keeps getting yellow spots. I cut off a brown part on the second bottom leaf. Should I completely cut off that leaf? I just repot this plant to a bigger pot but it was already having this issues before. I believe this plant is a Philodendron Xanadu. Correct me if wrong. \<3

The plant looks a little light in color which probably means it’s lacking nutrients, maybe add a little sunlight and some fertilizer. See if that brightens up.

Any recommendations on how much sun and what fertilizer? Also what’s the best soil for this plant?

I think it’s maybe a split leaf?? I ALWAYS cut off even the slightest of imperfect leaves. The plant will thank you and grow several in its place usually. Place close to window with indirect light, some morning or evening should be ok. Use the big green leaves from bless your soil when watering. I use it for every plant every time during summer.
