Is this normal leaf drops?

This is my first plant, I purchased him back in May. He’s been doing very well, but I’ve noticed some of his leaves have started yellowing. He’s had a lot of new baby leaves spring up the past couple months, so I’m wondering if this is just normal leaf drop with the cold season coming in? Should I prune them off? (If so, how?? 😅) or could it be a different issue? #NewPlantMom #Philodendron #PhiloFlock

It looks normal, even though it's a hearty plant, the older leaves still drop eventually lol, judt remember to water a bit less with these cooler temps but your plant looks great! 👍
Use clean scissors and snip off the yellow leaves as close to the base of the plant as you feel comfortable
I agree that it could be normal leaf drop especially with a lot of new growth. I can’t tell from the first pic, but if that’s one of the older leaves that’s likely what it is. However, it also looks like he could be overwatered so if you have a moisture reader you might just check the bottom and make sure it’s not wet.
I have the exact same thing with my Philodendron Birkin and have been wondering if other people have it too- especially with it getting colder and the “winter sun” where I live
