Can’t figure out why leaves are dropping

Question

I bought this #PhilodendronMicans in December and figured out that it was root bound, so I repotted it about 3 weeks ago. It had a ton of yellow leaves and water ran through it almost immediately which is how I figured it out. Now, it’s in a 10in pot and leaves are still dying, except they are turning yellow/pink and falling off. I haven’t noticed any pests, but I’m at a loss.

@winecg Hi there! Did it have the yellow leaves when you bought it or did they start yellowing and dropping after you got it? How big was the previous pot? 
Could it be that it’s not getting enough light? Or too much?

@winecg I looked for this plant in your Oasis, but didn’t see it. Can you share the plant card so we can see details?

@winecg 🤔 How did the roots look when you re-potted?

@SunnyPlants · Answer

@winecg Maybe try removing the yellow leaves, so the plant puts it’s energy into new ones. And you could also take a cutting or 2 to propagate it.

Did you try to break up the root ball when you repotted. Somestime the roots get really bound up in a circle at the bottom and you can get the old dirt out for new dirt.

Could it be getting too much light? My micans is thriving tucked in a corner about 6ft from a grow light and little to no sunlight from a window!
