    These are sensitive to anything under about 50 degrees. This will cause wilting that may not show immediately. They will need a very light, and airy soil. Anything heavy will retain too much water which will kill it. Do you know if this is the vine type, or tree type? This will vary the care slightly.

    Make sure to only water these when the soil is almost completely dry, as these can be sensitive to root rot.

    These are well adapted for low light situations. Usually this is caused by a little too much light, probably exacerbated by the dry spell. Outdoors, once established, they can handle quite a bit more light. Indoors, it will get sensitive to it as it adapts to being indoors.

    It may, or may not recover the damage already done, but as long as you keep on top of its care, then the new growth will come out before you know it.

    If you want to give it an all purpose fertilizer at this time, you can do so. Just make sure to follow all instructions on the packaging.

    If the whole vine is not affected you can pinch off the places with infection. Here are ways to treat the powdery mildew fungus.

    Philodendron plants are fairly easy to propagate. Use scissors or a razor cutter to cut a stem from the surviving plant. Remove all but a few leaves from the bottom of the stem. Dip the bare stem into whatever root hormone you're using, and plant the slip in fresh potting soil, deep enough so that at least a few nodes from the cut leaves are covered in soil. Keep the soil damp. New roots will form within twenty days or so.

    They aren't known for destructive roots, and it seems that the area is far enough away to be of little concern. I don't see any indication that this could be harmful.

    Too much or too little water is often the reason for leaf edges to yellow. Philodendrons need moist soil but not wet. Provide good drainage so the plant is not sitting in water. Go ahead and remove the leaves that are discolored.

    Here are more reasons for yellow or brown leaves:
