Help with browning Philodendron florida ghost mint

The one big leaf has started to brown in the last two weeks. I'm watering as scheduled. Only just fertilized this week. It's producing new leaves so thats promising. Maybe its just normal death and growth? The other leaf doesn't look quite right either. Slightly curling.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #planttherapy #philodendron #florida

Yeah, while all white leaves are super fun to look at, they really are a death sentence for the plant. Pretty normal for them to brown off and eventually need pruned. Keep your eyes on the other leaves, but this can be expected with solid white, unfortunately.

All white leaves will brown and die. They do not have any chlorophyll.

I think conventional wisdom is... If she spits out three complete full moon variegation leaves (ie. Completely white!) you should chop them immediately, which should encourage her to produce green. @garypoopins is totally right! They're gorgeous to look at, but as there is no chlorophyl they're essential just a drain on the plant 😭 if it's browning already I'd chop it off Hun, the browning is inevitable! Xx
