# There’s these little brown spots on my philodendron’s leaves. Any…

_Posted by Mia on 2025-10-30_

There’s these little brown spots on my philodendron’s leaves. Any idea what it could be from? Also the photos are of the newest completely unfurled leaf and its variegation looks more like a light green instead of white. Any ideas on how I could fix that or if it’s normal? Thanks guys!

Her leaves are also looking a bit droopier than when I got her but not sure if that’s anything of concern

Variegated need a ton of light! If it is indoor I would recommend a grow light right above it. 🙂🪴

I also learned recently philodendron plants are hungry plants. A lady who sells them told me she uses plant food with every watering she just dials back the recommended amount on container depending on size of plant/pot. 🙂🪴

Thank you so much for the advice I’ll make sure I take that into account when watering!
