Not sure what to do to help her!

#Philodendron
Clip off the dead leaves and pop her out the pot and look at her roots. @DreamMachine
@planthoe40 I snipped, and the roots look okay! Not sure what else
Water? Light?
@planthoe40 very routine 1/2 cup water every couple days, under a window with light for several hours
Sunburn maybe? How's humidity? Is your soil chunky enough?
@Sarahcha she is overwatered. πŸ’¦ It’s important to not water plants by routine, but only when they need water. She will start to look much improved if you don’t water until you can touch the soil on the top and through the bottom drainage holes and find that the pot is completely dry. I can’t really tell what your soil is made up of 🧐 Does it have at least 50% perlite, orchid bark, or other (non-spherical) chunky bits?

Next, lighting. How long is β€˜several hours?’ She won’t be very happy with less than 12-14 hours πŸ•š of good BRIGHT light *every* day. These plants are very hard to keep happy, even for experts, because they need the absolute BEST conditions to look okay. πŸ™„

Thanks for the tag Misty! @planthoe40 πŸ€—πŸ«ΆπŸŒ»
