Hi,

I had two cuttings from a Split-leaf Philodendron that rooted very well in water. There were so many new roots sprouting out that I kept the cutting in the water container for up to a year and they seemed to grow really well, including sprouting new leaves. Lately, however, one of them started to have brown tips on the leaves. The other one started to turn yellow on the leaves. Both are in separate bathrooms. I don't know what caused these problem? I had tried adding fertilizers into the water and it didn't help. The roots don't look like rotting. The thought of 'too much/too little water' feels impertinent since the entire root is submerged in water.

Could someone shed lights on this and point me to the right direction to take care of it?

Btw, as of today, I have repotted one of them in soil. And dumped out the water from the other. The thoughts behind both were that it probably has been in water for too long.

Thanks for any pointers!
