# One of the leaves on my white knight philodendron is starting to…

_Posted by becky on 2024-06-12_

One of the leaves on my white knight philodendron is starting to brown. I don’t think I am overwatering or under watering it and the pot has good drainage. I added a moss pole to this plant a couple weeks ago and it is still growing well and popping out new leaves. Maybe the moss pole is the issue? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks!

The white is super sensitive. My White Princess has done this. I’ve heard putting silica in the water when you water helps.

Unfortunately the white parts on variegated leaves will brown eventually but like Emily mentioned above, silica helps
