Thank you so much for the quick response LariAnn! We've had some hard freezes in past years that knocked these things down to the ground, but they've always re-sprouted when the weather warms up. The past dozen or so years though, we've had pretty mild winters, and then this past winter we had a couple of back to back freezes with temp's in the upper 20's, so I'm sure the plants were stressed. I will definitely cut the leaf and then sterilize the pruners! Will the virus spread to all the other Philodendron's? I will watch them as new leaves emerge in hopes it hasn't affected any of the others. I know these are common landscape plants here in Florida but I'd hate to lose all of them after so many years!

Thanks again for that link .. I'm printing it to have in my file for future reference!
