I can't see enough detail to be sure, but on dracunculus vulagaris I get
that 
curled leaf effect when the plant gets more sunlight than it can handle.
The 
discoloration might be sunburn, or it might be mites. In the case of the

mites, look for teeny tiny yellow specles on the leaf and a kind of dry 
sheen from their tiny webs. As for control, there are as many possible 
ways to control them as there are types of mites. I use one of a variety
of
miticides but you might want to use Safers soap or some such.

Hi friends:
 
I've now posted pictures of the problems I'm having with my philodendron
leaves.  I also posted pictures of a problem I'm having with a
dracunculus vulagaris plant that I grew from a tuber.  I initially
overwatered this plant, but I don't think the problem stems from that
-I'm wondering if some kind of pest is responsible for the leaves
curling and being so brittle.
 
Here's the URL of the page with the pictures:

Again, any advice would be greatly appreciated, and let me know if you
have any problems accessing the page or opening the pictures.
