    Split leaf philodendron can be fed a diluted houseplant fertilizer once a month.
    Avoid over fertilizing.

    This plant needs regular watering. As the soil just begins to dry, water throughly. Distilled water is best as conditioned water may also cause leafs to brown.

    A new leaf is often lighter in color and this is perfectly normal.

    This could be sunscald from too much direct sunlight. Split-leaf philodendrons usually grow up trees in tropical forests and receive shade from their host tree or their grown as tropical houseplants out of direct sunlight. The light level in the picture seems pretty intense. This article may help:

    Soil should be moist but never soggy.
    Potted plants outdoors will need to be watered daily and even twice a day in warm temps.
    I would try for dappled sunlight, especially if the plant was recently moved outdoors.

    I don't think your plant will come back if all green stems and leaves have died.
    Treat yourself to a new plant.

    Fill a 2-inch pot with 1 part peat moss and 1 part sand uniformly blended.

    Select a philodendron stem with at least two nodes and cut it off the plant.
    Plant the cutting in the peat-moss blend. Verify that the bottom node is below the surface; roots will sprout from it.
    Water the cutting at planting. Keep the soil consistently moist to encourage root development.

    Cover the stem with a clear plastic bag to create a warm and moist environment. Set the pot in indirect sunlight.

    Dig gently around the stem's base to check for roots once a week. Transplant a newly rooted Philodendron selloum to a 3-inch pot filled with potting mix. Upgrade to a 5-inch container when the roots outgrow the current planter.

    I would avoid getting water on the leaves when watering.

    Make sure the plant soil dries slightly between watering. Make sure the plant has good air flow around it to help avoid fungal diseases.
