# Hey sweet plant people! I recently just bought this white knight…

_Lyn님이 2025-01-14에 게시함_

Hey sweet plant people! I recently just bought this white knight philodendron. I’ve never had philodendrons before and have not one CLUE how to care for them. I’m terrified of killing her. It’s recently developed this hole in its leaf, but I checked for root rot and didn’t see any. she’s in a well draining mix and everything I’ve seen says she’s hard to take care of, which worry’s me more of course, any tips you could give me I’d love you for! Thank y’all so much!

I literally just got one today! I’d love to hear about it too because I don’t know what I’m doing either. 😅

Oh she’s so pretty! I know getting a new kind is SO intimidating. Wishing you the best with your plant she looks so good!

It looks like just scorching on the white portion. This is common in Albo plants. Buy some liquid silica, and use it every watering. It helps fortify their sells.

This the difference on my Thai. The top leaf is before silica

I second the silica supplement. I’ve been using it on all my tropicals. But the plant pic I don’t think is a white knight. It should have burgundy stems. I think it’s a white wizard.

Also your plant is SO gorgeous you’re doing so amazing with it!

### Kevin님이 2025-01-15에 댓글을 남겼어요.

It’s definitely sun scorching. Happened to my white wizard and birkin philos. Add silica and reduce the light just a little. Should be good!

### Lyn님이 2025-01-15에 댓글을 남겼어요.

Oh no I was afraid of that I’m happy it’s an easy fix though! thank you so much for that advice! I’ve got the silica on the way right now so I’m hoping with all y’all’s help I’ll be able to keep her alive, I really appreciate that thank you!
