Too much sun?
Could this be from too much light? It’s right in the window. I don’t see any pests or any anything. My other thought was fungus, but I’m leaning on it being burned since it’s not all of the leaves with the issue. #Philodendron #PhilodendronSplendid

This is from your soil. I will include another comment with my template soil advice. Most philos like a chunky well draining soil. I've found #Velvety philos can stand a less chunky soil mix, but there still needs to be some chunk to it (perlite and orchard bark at a minimum). Also, give the splendid filtered light. This can be accomplished by placing behind a big leafed plant or place on the floor so it gets less light.
Soil matters. Different types of plants require different soil needs.
When I was a very #NewPlantMom I didn't realize the importance of soil and ended up with a lot of root rot.
Most plants require good drainage so the roots don't stay wet which leads to root rot. Chunky soil mix helps with aeration so your roots can breathe and helps mimic natural growing environments.
If you have indoor plants or container plants, make sure you're using indoor/potting/container soil.
Some great staples to keep in stock to mix in whatever soil mix you have as a base.
Get what you can, when you can, but orchid bark and perlite are inexpensive and should be a staple in your aroid soil mixes. NO need to buy expensive pre-mixes, you can buy staples and create your own mix, adding certain items for plants that need more of something.
Perlite:
helps with drainage and aeration, the coarser the better
🪱Worm Castings:
increase soil's water retention, improve soil aeration
🌳Orchid Bark:
helps with aeration and drainage. I heavily use for my philos, hoyas, pothos, and monsteras. Don't buy the chunky one, those are too big. Instead, get the ones with fir, charcoal, and coarse perlite mixed in the bag.
Coco Coir CHIPS:
helps with aeration and drainage. Adds instant chunkiness to soil mix.
Coco Coir:
helps with aeration and drainage. If your base soil doesn't contain this, it's a great addition to your soil mix.
Charcoal:
Protects soil and roots from bacterial and fungal growth
Mycorrhizal Hormone:
Mycorrhizae form a symbiotic relationship with plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake, water absorption, and overall root health for stronger plants.
