Have you tried to bring it within an insecticide or wash it with warm water and dish soap?

This looks like a golden pothos—this is normal. They have variegated leaves. I believe more sunlight will give more yellow in the leaves as well. I had mine in full sun and had a ton of yellow and then I moved it further away and the leaves are a little more solid green.

@user21e7d855 thank you for looking into it! This is a heart-leaf philodendron though, and I’ve never cared for one, so I’m really not sure if it’s a part of a normal leaf life cycle or if I should be concerned about pests or something 😮‍💨

@Heavenlyfran yeah, I’ve done a couple showers and treatments with insecticide soap and even a stronger spray in a last month, and decided to isolate the poor thing in a bathroom for now, even though I can’t find anything and anyone on it, however much I look 😮‍💨
It’s like…every crumb of soil I catch on it’s leaves is freaking me out by now 😅😮‍💨
Thank you ❤️
