Where to cut if I wish to water-propagate my philodendron birkin?

wanted to prop because the bottom 5 leaves were very scraggly and had minimal variegation but the new growth looks good.

Roots turning green?

Just wondering if this is normal! Also, I have been noticing that there are much more roots growing at the back of my transparent pot whereas the front remains rather sparse. Is the sunlight interfering with root growth?

Yellow spots 😢

Noticed some yellowing on a few leaves so im just wondering if this is going to be a cause for concern. She gets bright indirect light. I water her whenever I stick a chopstick into her potting mix and it comes out dry.

Purging from azelaic acid?

First 2 pics are current, last 2 pics are from a few months ago. Saw many new spots a week after I started skinoren azelaic acid, also need to mention that my acne is usually hormonal and I am at the stage where it is normal to see acne. However, I do not usually have so many pimples at one time. Hope someone can tell me if this purging is normal or not

Routine:
AM: toner, cerave moisturising cream, biore sunscreen
PM: benzoyl peroxide (only leave the 5% gel on my face for 5 min before I wash it off completely cos my skin is very dry), toner, azelaic acid, cerave moisturising cream

Leaf tips yellowing?

The tips of my leaves on my chinese elm have been turning yellow and drying out. I don’t know what is causing it to turn this way considering that it is new growth. I water it once the topsoil turns dry. It is as close to my west facing window as possible (I don’t have a balcony in my apartment building)

Worth the purchase? $28.80

Really considering buying this after my podocarpus died. I’ll probably replace the potting mix and pot though.

Is my podocarpus done for

Its new leaves have suddenly stopped growing and all the existing leaves are turning wrinkly and crispy. I’ve been also noticing a weird smell coming from it as if the leaves are rotting. I water when the topsoil turns dry. It is placed by a west facing window to get the afternoon sun, also its constantly in 80-90% humidity.
