Iāve been struggling with my velvet philodendron for a few months now. It has these spots which Iām scared is scale. Does anyone know what this might be? Iāve read it could be normal sometimes but it keeps dropping leaves.

Looks like itās not getting enough light due to the long vines without leaves. Also, it might be overwatered. I wait until my soil is dry and the pot feels a bit light before I water. Mine also gets a lot of light and is thriving. Donāt give up on it! š

Syd :Pif thereās no sign of pests itās just extrafloral nectaries! little sugar productions that they push out that end up burning the leaves,, micans are such a pain with it, im always checking to make sure itās not buggies anyways

Kās PlantsItās EFN. Iāve had the same issue with micans. The leaves need to be washed off regularly or these spots will show up.

Yep. A lot of philodendron produce EFN like this. I do a thorough wash off of the leaves on my Micans, Melanochrysm, Glorious, and El Choco Red with every watering.
