When you’re momming all day you don’t really have time to think too much, which is why I live in tees, straight leg jeans, and sneakers. No one has time to be uncomfortable! As much as I love band tees, you never see many rap tees, which is why I absolutely love this one from Amazon! You can shop this entire look with the breakdown below!
Every philodendron I’ve loved has unfortunately suffered from these nasty brown spots. Guess what? They’re a fungus! These spots are likely fungal leaf spot disease or rust spots. Fortunately, I’ve had great success at helping eliminate or stop this fungus in its tracks as long as it’s caught fairly early. The largest cause for this fungus is soil that is too damp or doesn’t drain well. Preventing these issues as well as using some great products to help eliminate the fungus should have your philodendrons thriving in no time!
The most likely cause of the fungus is improper drainage and wet roots. Remove the plant from its current soil and thoroughly rinse the roots while checking for any black or mushy roots. Trim away any roots that seem to be rotting or mushy and sterilize any tools used by wiping them down with rubbing alcohol thoroughly to prevent the spread of any fungus. Once the roots are rinsed well, dry the roots well with paper towels. Repot the plant in a well-draining soil mix and ensure the pot being used has adequate drainage. Using a chunky mix works well for philodendrons so the soil doesn’t stay damp too long for the plant.
I treat my plants with Big Leaf Energy from Bless Your Soil. It’s made with a blend of organic Neem and other oils to help plants thrive pest and fungus free. Shake the bottle well and spray on a paper towel. Wipe the front and back of each leaf of the plant well and spray on all stems and stalks to ensure the fungus will be treated.
Isolate the plant away from other plants to avoid infecting neighboring plants. Monitor the soil weekly and water the philodendron sparingly to avoid the plant sitting in continually damp soil.
