What's eating my philodendron cream splash?

Philodendron hederaceum 'Cream Splash' is a variegated heartleaf philodendron kept as a trailing or climbing houseplant. Spider mites and mealybugs are the most common pests. The pale cream variegation can make early stippling damage harder to spot, so inspect green sections carefully. Thrips occasionally scar the softer leaf tissue.

Pale speckling most visible on the green leaf sections; fine webbing on undersides; leaves may yellow Mist to raise humidity, rinse plant in the shower, spray neem oil or insecticidal soap weekly

White cottony tufts at nodes and petiole bases; honeydew residue and black sooty mold accumulate Apply isopropyl alcohol with cotton swabs, follow with insecticidal soap spray every 7 days

Silver-bronze streaking on leaves; distorted or scarred new growth emerging from the growing tip Remove worst leaves, spray spinosad or neem oil thoroughly every 5 days for three to four cycles
