philodendron
What are the white spots on my philodendron leaves and how do I fix them?
Those white speckles are most likely residue or old leaf damage, not a new disease. Try wiping a leaf to see if it comes off; clean the leaves, remove badly marked ones, and adjust watering and misting so it doesn’t keep happening.
How can I keep my plant’s leaves healthy when insects are damaging them?
The leaf edges are being chewed and distorted by insects, likely sap‑sucking pests plus feeders that ants are protecting. Start by removing badly damaged leaves, washing the plant with water, and then using a gentle insect control like diluted neem oil or soap spray.
