My philodendron keeps curling its leaves and now is getting brown spots. I checked the roots and they seem okay and no pests were found. Any help would be appreciated. 6/6/2023. I repotted in an indoor potting mixture (it was all I had today). The main root seems white but I know the small roots are dark and thin. I am hoping this will help. It’s such a gorgeous plant and I hate that it looks so sad.

    When variegated plants get brown like that, it usually means it’s overwatered

      Thanks. I know I have done that but then I got a water gauge. Do you think it will survive? I am trying to be very careful because the roots were white, but thin.

      Agree I think the soil isn’t giving enough air for the roots to breathe.

    Agree with everyone else. It might be overwatered or waterlogged. You can still save it by repotting using a chunkier soil mixture with better drainage. Adding some bark, pumice, or perlite to your potting mix would help!

    Change the soil to a philodendron mix
