Can anyone help me with my PPP? I water her whenever the soil is dry and she sits about two feet under a grow light. The new growth has been smaller than it should be and not very green/pink. I’ve checked for pests and didn’t find any.

    What’s the humidity level?

    She may be too far from the light and/or the light is not strong enough. Insufficient light can cause the plant to lose variegation and produce smaller leaves.

    Honestly I think it might be too much light. I have mine ~5ft from a sunny window and it’s thriving!

      You can always try a fertilizer too, this is the season (in my location) where they like it every 2 weeks

      I was wondering the same thing. With other philodendrons I’ve had the leaves got smaller when they got too much light. I think PPP want perfect conditions or they look meh. I also think they do better with real sunlight over grow lights.

    Variegation is brought out with light, I would assume your plant is not getting enough light. This could also be due to moisture and temperature but for the most part I would move my plant to an area where she gets more light. You may start seeing an increase in leaf size, growth activity, and pink varigation
