Philodenron plants are getting yellow leaves and brown edges
-
Deanna Hookway on Jun 26, 2013Did you use MG garden soil or potting soil? There is a difference in drainage and the fertilizer ratios. Yellowing and brown leaves is usually a sign of overwatering, bad drainage, or over fertilization. Always err on the side of less water. Make sure the pot is draining well and not sitting in the drainage water. Fertilizer contains a lot of salt and it can accumulate in the ends of the leaves, so if fertilizing, stop for a while, especially if fertilizing on top of the MG soil. Cut off the yellow leaves as they will not revive. Trim the brown off the other leaves unless the whole leaf looks terrible, then cut it off as well. Philodendrons also do not need a tremendous amount of sun. If in full sun, pull it back. Low to medium indirect light will do. Good luck.Helpful Reply

Irmgard Saunders on Jun 26, 2013They are not in pots, they are in the flower bed, I am almost thinking it is due to overwatering and they do get a lot of sun as well!! Thank you for taking the time to answer me! <3Helpful Reply
