Ny philodendron red sun was doing really well and then all of the sudden her leaves were falling off and she got really sad and is now being held up by a toothpick. Does anybody have advice to save her??

It might need a bigger pot, have you checked the roots?  
Also, have you been the first few inches of top soil dry out between waterings?

I actually moved it into a smaller pot when it started dying. She was not root bound at all, still had a good root network. Ive been watering sparingly after she started drying

Have you fertilized it recently?
