septoria leaf spot, bacterial leaf spot, neither?
Comments (7)From the research I've just been doing on my early blight, which is what I see on yours (not the dreaded late blight), you need to get ALL of the affected leaves off there, because the spores are easily transferred from leaf to leaf, and yes, continue spraying. Serenade is an organic spray that's often recommended, and Daconil is also very popular (I don't know if it's organic though). And when you pluck off all those leaves (very carefully, so as not to spread the spores even more), you should bag them up very carefully and tightly, or burn them. Don't compost them, because you'll just be incubating the spores into your compost, which will cause further trouble. Good luck! We're in NJ and were nailed by the same rainy weather you probably had, so it's been quite the uphill battle for us too....See MorePhilodendron red and yellow spots, Help please!
Comments (9)Ok, I change my opinion to bacterial leaf spot. Apparently philodendrons are susceptible. It can spread quickly when the plant is not happy. Not enough light, too much water. Misting can make it spread. Instructions are to remove infected leaves unless it's the entire plant, then it cannot recover. I would hang on and see if another opinion comes along, because I am not an expert in philodendron and am not familiar with growing plants in mountainous areas. It may be a whole different ball game there, that I am not aware. Good luck :)...See MorePhilodendron Xanadu - brown spots
Comments (21)Yes even in Sydney, I see them mostly in outdoor public spaces planted under trees. The mass plantings look very good but they do get leggy and start encroaching on the actual footpaths. I have it outside on the balcony and it gets direct sunlight early in the morning. A few weeks ago we had a 45 degree day and A few leaves were burned. I’m a more careful now and I move in the shade when the forecast is over 35. I don’t want to lose more leaves especially in the 2nd half of summer since it might not be able to replace those leaves before winter comes....See MoreHELP: Online Monstera Deliciosa Gone Wrong!

Comments (7)Yeah, taking a closer look, it looks like the seller didn't give you very much stems to work with. All I see there are the petioles, which connect the leaves to the stems. New growth will only emerge from the stems, and you weren't given much of that to even work with. So I would ask for a refund or replacement, if at all possible.Here's a closeup of my plant's stems. They're what the roots are emerging from, as well as the petioles. Looking closer at your photo, I don't see any stems whatsoever. To me, it looks as though the seller just snipped off a couple of short growth tips and stuck them in some pots. Have you unpotted them? Do they have any roots at all? If so, then they might pull thru. Just as long as the stems, what little of them there are, are still firm and viable. Under ideal conditions, these plants just might make it. But unless you got these for a very cheap price, then they weren't worth whatever price you paid for them. My first ever Monstera was a very healthy, well-rooted plant with multiple stems and at least a dozen or so leaves, and it only cost me around seven dollars. I've seen large, two-gallon sized pots of Monsteras for sale at Home Depot for just over twelve dollars. I just took a quick glance of the selection over on Amazon and none of them seemed reasonably priced. Even if these plants didn't suffer any cold damage, I wouldn't find these cuttings acceptable. Not for those prices. Places like Home Depot or Lowe's sell large Monsteras for only $12.98. Much more bang for your buck. Get your money back and shop elsewhere. If the seller doesn't work with you, then post a negative review, along with your photo. They ripped you off....See MoreRaymond Dziezynski
