Hi, this is Leaf Erickson and when I got him, he was soaking wet, so I let him dry out now the other little guy came from another plant that I had which eventually had root rot, and I didn’t realize it when I got it from the nursery, but I was able to save him so yes, your plant is doing fantastic and I would take the old leaves off because it drains energy from your other leaves 🍃 
@GodsendMelon84 For a Philodendron Pink Princess to thrive, use a well-draining, airy soil mix rich in organic matter, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Well-Draining is Key:
Pink Princess Philodendrons, like other aroids, prefer soil that drains quickly to prevent root rot.
Ideal Mix:
A good starting point is a mix of:
Potting Soil: Provides a base for the mix.
Perlite: Improves drainage and aeration.
Orchid Bark: Adds aeration and helps with drainage.
Optional Additions:
Coarse Sand: Can further enhance drainage.
Compost or Worm Castings: Adds nutrients and organic matter.
Peat Moss or Coco Coir: Can help with moisture retention, but ensure it's balanced with drainage materials.
Avoid:
Heavy, dense soil: This can lead to root rot, especially if the plant is overwatered.
pH:
Pink Princess Philodendrons prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-6.5).
Potting:
Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom. Since the brown leaves won’t regenerate they can be removed and the plant can direct its energy into new growth. Happy Growing!
