Answer
Hi Susan, I am surprised that it is giving you this much trouble, they are normally a very forgiving plant and very easy to maintain; they don't like direct light at all, so keep it in indirect light and moderately moist (not wet). Fertilize it with a high nitrogen fertilizer (soluble), about once a month and keep the leaves misted (mock humidity). That is about all you need be concerned about with the Philodendron,just remember to keep it out of direct light. Nick
