hello! i recently bought a philodendron white wizard and noticed my leaves were beginning to brown specifically on the variegated sections - i’ve since then repotted with new soil and took a look at the roots which looked fine to me, but now some of the base green leaves are starting to yellow. she’s in a pot with a draining hole and she sits a few feet from a window with curtains and indirect sunlight in a bedroom. does anyone have any advice or suggestions? thank you 😭

Browning on the variegated areas typically means overwatering. Make sure the soil is dry before watering then water deeply. I also don’t know which direction your window faces, but I would get it as close to the window as I could. The plant should be able to handle it
