Philodendron Yellowing at Base: Adjustment or Overwatering?

Low-Light Plant, Hates Wet Feet

Philodendrons prefer indirect light. Yellow lower leaves can be normal aging or acclimation. Water when top ⅓ of soil is dry; use well-draining mix (add perlite). Never let sit in water.

Dormant periods (little growth) = water even less. Observe, don't schedule.
