This leaf fell off my philodendron lemon lime plant today. Does anyone know what this is from? Overwatering? Not watering enough?

need to see the whole plant and list your watering schedule or habits and light location and pot type and soil.

I water according to Planta’s schedule.

Don’t always assume planta is correct. Check soil before watering. The top 2ish inches of the soil for most philodendrons should be dry before watering. You can just stick your finger in 2” or use a wood skewer or chopstick. If soil clings, don’t water, snooze on planta and it will remind you to check again in 2 days

If that is the only leaf affected, it may just be an old leaf the plant was done with

I didn’t know that could happen. Thx!

I think the rest looks pretty healthy. Might need a little more light??

#### JR replied on 2026-07-15

Actually, maybe not as far as lighting I forgot it’s a lemon lime and should look a bit yellowish. 😜
