Patient Name
Philodendron
Symptoms
Yellowing edges on 80% of leaves. Brown spots with bright yellow line around
Diagnosis
Issues with the soil cause poor water circulation and resulted in fungal or bacterial leaf infection.
Treatment
Repotting into the fresh potting mix and a pot with drainage holes the best will be something that helps with air and water circulation. Recommended monstera & aroids potting mix available from our website. When repotting it was advised to check the roots for root rot, this can be identified by soggy/mushy/black roots and caused fungal or bacterial leaf infection. Remove damaged roots, use clean tools, and wash hands regularly to prevent the spreading of infection and healthy parts of the plant. Leaves should be removed to prevent the spreading of the infection. In severe cases of infection should be considered using appropriate fungicides or bactericides as a preventive or curative measure.
Prevention
Allow the soil to dry out between watering so the roots won’t develop root rot. A correct soil mixture and nursery pot with drainage holes will help with this.
