# My philodendron Tortum when yellow once I got it home. It’s next to…

_Geplaatst door Tyson op 2024-01-21_

My philodendron Tortum when yellow once I got it home. It’s next to tons of other tropical plants to help with humidity and I have a humidifier. The location is east facing so light should be good. It’s indirect.

Any advice?

Is the pot filled with just leca?

No just the top has leca there a little mixed in with the soil

I agree with PlantyAnn, the cold could have definitely shocked it like this. But unless you are solely growing a plant in leca its best to remove them so the soil can throughly dry between watering. Otherwise remove all the soil from the soil and 1/3 of the container for water

I’d take it out of the leca unless you have a lot of experience using leca.

It looks like the LECA is on top of soil? If so, maybe remove the clay balls so that the soil is able to dry out in case it is too wet.
