Hope someone can help. We have a large area of Philodendron bipinnatifidum along our side yard. We've been in this house 34 years and these have always been here. I cut them way back a week or so ago. Today I was out watering some nearby plants and noticed one of the Philo's with a new leaf that appears to be heavily variegated. We have never watered or fertilized these things, they are just there and get water when it rains (a few along the edge of the area get water from the irrigation system twice a week, but this one is farther back in the group and not in the line of the sprinklers.) This particular one is also in full shade. Can anyone tell from the photo if something is wrong or is this normal? It's kinda pretty, other leaves on the same plant are the dark green so I'm wondering if this is a chlorotic leaf? I've never seen a pattern like this and just hope nothing is wrong with the plants. I will be keeping an eye on the rest of them for any changes.

Thanks,

Lin
