Please help! I'm new to house plants and picked this guy up at an expo last weekend. All the little baby leaves turned yellow so I pulled them off (I don't know if I should have or not) but now the leaves also look like this. What should I do?? I did look for bugs but didn't see any!

      It's a philodendron mica

    Looks like a powdery mildew of some sort. What location do you have it in? Philodendrons like humidity so consider a pebble tray or humidifier. I would go ahead to be safe and spray it down with insecticide soap then spray the leaves off, then treat with neem oil as a preventative measure. Also check your watering on it. I was suggest changing it into some new potting soil since you bought it from the expo, then I would use a self watering pot.

    I spray it once daily and I did change the pot and soil so I will get a new self watering pot and get the soap. Thank you so much again!
