Any philodendron people here. I unpacked my persimmon princess on Thursday and this is how she looked. I checked her water and it is moist. Any suggestions

Some plants just don’t travel well. Make sure she’s getting appropriate light. Since she’s moist I would just leave her be and see what develops. I don’t see anything like mold or a problem otherwise.

Is this a TC? If so, I can’t tell completely from the pic but it does not look like enough humidity or light. And… Did you make sure to get all the agar off and let it sit in either hydrogen peroxide or iodine mixed with water before potting?

It's not a TC. It is a plant in a plug

Oh dang! Sorry. I’m not sure. But I would agree with Mich Mommy that maybe more light will help.

She now looks like the second photo. I asked AI and it was suggested water propagation or perlite
